Elizabeth I attempted to bring Protestants and Catholics together primarily to unify England. After the tumultuous reigns of her predecessors, which saw significant religious conflict, Elizabeth sought to establish a moderate religious settlement that would promote stability and end divisions. Her goal was to create an environment where both groups could coexist under a single national church, the Church of England, which incorporated elements of both Protestantism and traditional Catholic practices. This approach aimed to prevent civil unrest and ensure national unity.
