The English Reformation

The English Reformation marked a significant shift in England's religious landscape, initiated by Henry VIII's desire for a divorce which led to the establishment of the Church of England. In 1534, he passed the Act of Supremacy, asserting his authority over the church and confiscating Catholic properties. Queen Mary I's attempt to restore Catholicism resulted in severe persecution of Protestants, earning her the nickname "Bloody Mary." Subsequently, under Queen Elizabeth I, Protestantism was solidified, and England achieved victory against Spain in the Spanish Armada, ushering in a Golden Age.
