Spain’s king at the time was King Phillip II he wanted to overthrow Queen Elizabeth for many reasons. At the time Spain owned the Spanish Netherlands this is nowadays Holland and Belgium. The majority of Holland didn’t like being catholic and therefore wanted its independence. Many people in Holland had become secret protestants if martyrs had publicly expressed their beliefs then they would’ve been executed.
Here I state one of the reasons why he left the Roman Catholic Church: • In the bible it stated that if you were to marry your brother’s wife you would be cursed with no children. However Henry VIII needed a son to take over the thrown when Henry had died – This would not happened though if the curse was put upon them. An economic factor was a large proportion of what made Henry VIII leave the Roman Catholic Church. Economic: anything to do with the money and wealth. Henry mainly left the Church because of his money situation: • Whilst Henry VIII was in a violent war with France, he had run out of money.
Exploration and Colonization Unit Questions: Chapters 2-4 1. Why was England so slow to establish New World Colonies? During the 1500s, England was a major ally of Spain and because of this, England had little interest of colonization. During the midpoint of the century, England experienced a lot of religious conflict which was the result of King Henry VIII broke away from the Roman Catholic Church and started the Protestant Reformation.

He is famous for his 95 Theses, where he attacked the Catholic Church for selling indulgences and the corruption in the church. He believed that the indulgences were unfair because the lower social class could not afford them. He was then declared a heretic for his views on the Catholic Church. Luther later translated the New Testament from Greek to German allowing Germans to read the bible without having to know other languages. His ideas spread like wildfire to the population and forced the Catholic Church to bring reforms.
The question I am going to be answering is: ‘Why were England and Spain enemies for so long during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries?’ To answer this question we need to look at all the evidence available. During the reign of Henry VIII, he decided to break away from the Catholic Church, turning his country into a protestant religion. However this did not impress the Pope and Spain as they thought that every country should be a Catholic country. Both countries were ruling most of the world, the Spanish empire in South America as an example. They were constantly disputing about who had to the Caribbean.
The two groups went to war and the Native Americans targeted and killed many priests. - The New World challenged and changed the religious faiths the first European settlers brought to it. In New Mexico, the spiritual rituals of the Pueblo Indians collided with the Catholic of the Spanish Franciscan friars who came to convert them, ultimately exploding in violent rebellion. 2.

He had closed down parliament and had to think of ways of getting money without asking the parliament's help. He had used old laws like 'Ship Money', which was a special tax to help the navy he used this idea to get money off the people of England. This made him very unpopular. Another reason for why the king was to blame was the way he had handled with religion. As he was the king, he had thought that he had the power to make the Scots use English prayer books.
How far was the Catholic Church in Germany ripe for reform before 1517? There are many contributing factors as to how ripe the Catholic Church was for reformation, one of these was the corruption of the Church. To the people at the time, priests were incredibly important; they had the responsibility of preventing souls from going to hell and were the only ones who could administer the sacraments which would guarantee salvation. However, usually priests would only do this in exchange for money which led the church to be riddled with abuses as the priests only seemed interested in amassing wealth rather than taking care of their parishioners spiritually. Other abuses included simony, nepotism, pluralism and absenteeism.
And being a strong believer in the Divine Right of Kings, Charles didn’t realize the body's authority and offered absolutely no defense. A tribunal voted 68 to 67 against him and Charles I was beheaded on 30 January 1649 at the banqueting house in Whitehall. There were many reasons for Charles I’s beheading but I think a huge contributor to this event was the religious differences. He decided to marry a Catholic women, Henrietta Maria of France. They worried that the Princess might have had an influence on her husband and perhaps get him to change his religion to Catholic and because she was catholic and at the time England was protestant she also came from a family that believed in complete and utter monarchy.
