Henry VIII started it. In his fight with the Pope over his divorce of Katherine he cut himself off from the Catholic church and made the Church illegal in England.

What impact did Henry VIII have?

He broke with the rest of the Catholic Church and, in effect, established the Church of England. Missionaries from this church accompanied many of the British explorers of the 18th and 19th centuries and planted what has become known as Anglicanism. The majority of Anglicans now live outside of England. Anglicanism has had a significant effect on former British colonies, and thus on the world.
