The primary split in Christianity came through the works and writings of Martin Luther. The movement he created had a name, it was the Reformation and the date of its beginnings was 1517.
Luther was in a Catholic monastic order and at the age of 28 was a professor of Christian theology at the University of Wittenberg in Germany.
Luther took a stand against Catholic policies, particularly the sale of "indulgences" that were a Church method of forgiving a person from sin. The Church used these funds to help build up the buildings within the Vatican. Luther also had other grievances against the Church. The final result was his excommunication from Catholicism.
Luther's revolt, the Reformation, resulted in the creation of Protestantism.
Another major split in Christianity was the creation of the Greek Orthodox Church. This was the Greek section of the Eastern Church.
Historically referred to as the Orthodox Eastern Church, this had split from Rome in the Byzantine empire in 1054.
