The conflict arose due to religious differences and power struggles between these two groups. The Muslims were not directly involved in these wars, making the option "Les protestants et les musulmans" incorrect. Similarly, the option "Les catholiques et les musulmans" is also incorrect as the Muslims were not a significant part of the conflict.
