The Protestant Reformation refers to a European religious movement dedicated to changing the corrupt ways of the Christian faith by the establishment of new, "better" branches of Catholicism. It began when Martin Luther, a monk, nailed his 95 Theses (a list of 95 grievances he had with the Catholic faith) to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany, and ended with the Peace of Westphalia that concluded over a hundred years of religious war.
The Counter-Reformation (also the Catholic Revival or Catholic Reformation) was the period of Catholic resurgence beginning with the Council of Trent (1545-1563) and ending at the close of the Thirty Years' War (1648), and was initiated in response to the Protestant Reformation.

Of course Luther was big, but there were others who lead to the reformation, John Calvin was a contemporary of Luther, also Gutenberg inventing the printing press was a big catalyst of the reformation. In England, William Tyndale translating the new testament into English was a major even that lead to the reformation and this happened more than one hundred years before the time of Luther.
