The Orthodox Church claims to trace its development back through the Byzantine or Roman Empire, to the earliest church established )by St. Paul) and the Apostles.
The Catholic Church claims to trace its development back through the Roman empire, to the earliest church established (by St. Peter who was martyred in Rome) and the Apostles.
Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria was also established (by St. Mark) around the same time in 42 AD.
In effect they are both Orthodox and the Catholic churches were the same Church until they split apart with the Roman Empire in 1054. The Coptic church as always been separate.
The Protestant Church then split form the Catholic Church beginning around 1521, in revulsion of the practices and corruption of the Catholic Church as it was at that time.
Note there were also other churches that also existed in the past but these were crushed by the early Roman Catholic leaders.

The Orthodox Church is considered the oldest branch of Christianity, tracing its roots back to the early Christian community established by the apostles. The Protestant movement originated in the 16th century as a response to perceived corruption within the Catholic Church at the time. Catholicism, which encompasses the Roman Catholic Church, is the largest branch of Christianity and has its origins in the early centuries of Christianity.
