The Christians of the Byzantine Empire did not want to recognize the pope in Rome as their leader, so in 1054 they agreed to divide from the Catholic Church and form their own branch of Christianity. This divide was called the great schism.
Germany lost WWII -- the territory had to be divided among the winning countries. Ultimately, the plan backfired on the Allied Powers as the Cold War set in. An example of the tension created by the divide is the construction of the Berlin Wall.
The Protestant Reformation was a religious movement in Europe between 1415 and 1650 that aimed to reform the Catholic Church. It was initiated by figures like Martin Luther and John Calvin who challenged the authority of the Pope and called for changes in church practices. The Reformation led to the formation of new Christian denominations and a permanent divide in Western Christianity.

There have been several splits from the Catholic Church. The two major splits that you could be referring to is the East-West Schism which occurred in 1054 (though it could be argued the divide started much earlier) and the Protestant Reformation which occurred in 1517. There can't be one person credited for leading the East-West Schism since there were many factors that caused the divide. You could say that the dispute between Pope Leo IX and Michael Cerularius is ultimately what caused the formal split of the two churches resulting in both excommunicating each other. The resulting church was the Eastern Orthodox Church. The person who started the Protestant Reformation was Martin Luther. It is incorrect to say that Martin Luther "lead" the split from the Catholic Church because he went to the grave claiming to still be Catholic. There are several resulting churches from the Reformation, the most notable being the Lutheran Church. But it must be noted that Protestants will trace their beginnings back to the Reformation.
Oddly, the answer is "The Reformation" or "The Protestant Reformation" which officially started in 1517 when Martin Luther nailed his "95 Theses" to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany. The split had a great deal to do with the Renaissance period in which it was taking place, as much conventional wisdom was being questioned during that time, but the driving motivation behind the Reformation was over theological differences. Some of it was based on fervent and growing nationalism, and over corruption in the Curia, the ecclesiastical court which assisted with the governance of the Roman Catholic church. The practice of selling "indulgences" was a major influencer in the Reformation.
