If King Henry had not existed:
King Henry VIII was a very important man. He created many things, as well as accomplish many things. One thing that he did was create Anglican, or The Church of England religion while the Reformation was going on. If this didn't happen, it could have reduced some of the exploration that occurred, because people would still be with the church,(RCC), and not have broken away. Also, the Inquisition most likely wouldn't have happened in England because there would be no reason to have to get people back to the RCC because they would still be with the church. Groups like the Jesuits, and Missionaries would not be needed/exist either because again, the people in England would not have broken away from the RCC church. Another effect if King Henry VIII didn't exist would be the science and exploration time period. What I mean is that it defiantly would not have been pushed immediately, or even soon. I say this because if he didn't exist the Reformation wouldn't have occurred, causeing the curiosity from the people who broke away from the RCC. Which would be foe example, Science, Math, Exploration, etc.
