If you mean Henry VIII, there was little he did that made England more powerful. He mainly squandered the royal treasury on unsuccessful wars that left England in possession of only one French territory - Calais - and made the break with Rome that threw England's nobility into Protestant and Catholic factions. This division of religious belief was a cause of many revolts and uprisings to come in the Tudor period.
Perhaps it could be said that Henry strengthened England's international position by making Protestant alliances, by marrying Anne Boleyn for example. However, by the end of Henry's reign he had little control of the nobility, as their fight which he had unwittingly caused, for England's religion, raged on.
