Henry is probably most remembered for his marriage record; the six wives. But this characteristic had little direct effect on the world at large. He was a belligerent monarch and fought several campaigns against his neighbours. The Scots were defeated at Flodden in 1513 but his war with France proved expensive and unsuccessful. Henry's all-consuming concern was his need for a male heir. When he determined to replace Catherine of Aragon, his first wife, the widow of his brother and the cause of a dispute with the Church in itself - who had only one daughter, Mary - the Pope finally decided 'enough was enough' and refused to grant the divorce. When in 1533, Henry went ahead anyway and married Anne Boleyn, with whom he had a daughter, Elizabeth, the Pope excommunicated him and parliamentary legislation confirmed Henry's decision to break with Rome. Henry established himself as head of the Church of England and ordered the dissolution of the monasteries. It is this almost accidental creation of the Anglican Church with him as its Head - virtually a side effect of his determination to get his divorce - that is his greatest effect on the rest of the world; the Anglican Church is now almost worldwide. Other reforms - including the uniting of England and Wales and the creation of the Council of the North and the Household and Exchequer - also instigated during the 1530s - similarly had little effect on, or relevance to, the rest of the world.

What would the world be like without the crusades?

It is almost impossible to answer such questions. No one is able to say what the world would be like if something had not happened. It is equally difficult with similar questions that ask what would be different had the outcome of something been different. Had Germany won the first or second world war for instance. Many fictional authors create speculative stories on such premises. But that is all they are, speculation.

How would life be different without world war 2?

Well since America won the war and restored almost everything to the way it used be life would only be a only a little different. Things that would be different are 1. there would be no Soviet Union which means there would be no such thing as Communism and China wouldn't be Communists today and America might not be 13 trillion dollars of debt. 2. There wouldn't of been the Korean and Vietnam Wars, and you can figure it out from there.


How did Alessandro change the world?

Alessandro Volta changed the world because he invented the battery, today, batteries are a major source of energy for toys, mobile phones and many gadgets. The battery has also inspired people to invent other energy storing devices, machines like the solar panel. (no wonder he's so famous in Italy!) Without Alessandro Volta, the world would be a very different place today! This was made by, Paul Felling I'd also like to include, even though some people think that they could do without batteries, while counting every device or machine that used or uses batteries. Imagine your day without clocks, phones, camera's or computers and that's just the starts. I would like everyone to have a deep thought about what the world would be like without inventions. (MAJOR DIFFERENCE!)

Would the world be different if Galileo never existed?

The world would likely be different without Galileo, as his discoveries and defense of the heliocentric model of the solar system were pivotal in the advancement of modern science. Without his contributions, our understanding of astronomy and physics may have progressed at a different pace or in a different direction.
