When did the Catholics start Protestanism?
Catholics didn't start Protestantism. Protestants started Protestantism and this began with Martin Luther in 1517.
Who won the fight over religion when the Catholics and protestants fought?
Roman Catholic AnswerUnfortunately, there have been many "fights" between protestants and Catholics in the last five hundred plus years, and, sorry to say, that there are never any winners in such a fight. When you have two groups of people, both professing to be Christian, and following Our Blessed Lord's command to "turn the other cheek", then anyone fighting at anytime is to lose as soon as you start fighting because you are disobeying God.

When the civil war started was there more catholics or protestants?
In the United States there were more Protestants than Catholics at the start of the Civil War. The great immigration of Roman Catholics to the United States came after the First Vatican Council. The Bishop of Arkansas voted No when the issue of Papal infallibility was raised. He was one of 2 Bishops to vote against the measure. For some reason a number of Catholics wanted to come to a country that had freedom of religion and where the Pope had no political power. I have no idea why.

How did religious conflict in Europe affect European colonization of the Americas?
The Age of Exploration and European imperialism of the Americas occurred just before the Protestant Reformation. The Americas presented a new start for non-Catholics, which is why many Protestants migrated to these new colonies (particularly in North America in the British colonies). Many Catholics also migrated to the Americas and they were more successful in spreading Catholicism than the Protestants were in Protestantism.
Are the Orthodox churches most related to Catholics or Protestants?
Orthodox churches are much closer in belief to Catholics than to Protestants. The Eastern Orthodox Church broke off of the Catholic Church in 1054 A.D. and kept basically all the same beliefs except the supremacy of the pope. Protestants, however, broke during the Protestant Reformation, which can be considered to start around 1517. The Protestant split involved much deeper doctrinal changes that make Protestantism farther from Catholicism than Eastern Orthodoxy.
