From the 14 th century to the 17 th century, a big storm which afraid everyone swept through Europe, that is the persecution of witch. There were about 100000 times the trial of the wizard behavior happened in Europe, and caused nearly 50000 people executed, mostly were female witch, a few witch were men. Splendid in the 16 th century,who were a priest said, we said wizard are heresy but we should said witch a heresy., because the number of the wizard is too small. Louis xiii also have a saying: every one thousand only a wizard in the witch. From this,we can know how much the number of the witch was, so this article refers to witch. And persecution of the witch is roughly divided into two periods, the late middle ages of the 14 th century and 15 th century,the main region was in Italy and England, the early modern ages of the16 th century and the 17 th century, the main areas were the south of France and Germany. Because in the late middle ages it was not so surprising that there were the judgment of persecution of the witch. But in the early stage,Renaissance and Religious reform and the enlightenment were already happened.And at such a time, a wave of persecution of witch broke out. This is not too good understanding. So this paper mainly analysis in the early modern the cause of the persecution of witch,On behalf of Deutsche region. In order to explain in the European why the persecution of the witch rise, historians made a lot of analysis about the social background and legal basis.But it is not enough to fully prove the cause of witch persecution which is produced by the specific historical environment. If a similar historical environment happened, the same thing will happen? This needs to figure out how to judge a witch.The judgment was very simple.That is to expose the woman. By almost every time,they can have one more witch.Every witch who was exposed had a had time in the court.And after torture they were taken to died.And what’s more,their reputation became worse.And it had a bad effect on their children. So, the persecution of the witch are "made". So this article tries to focus on the fact that most close to the persecution of the witch, which is why people of all classes liked expose a woman as a witch.
