Detailed explanation-1: -Why did the English Reformation differ from the Reformation in the rest of Europe? The English Reformation was the result of King Henry VIII not being able to divorce his wife. It was rooted in politics rather than religion.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: English Reformation differs from the Protestant Reformation in its original motivation. The English Reformation was begun by King Henry VIII for personal reasons. He wanted a divorce from his first wife and the Pope would not grant it, so Henry VIII established the Church of England.
Detailed explanation-3: -Henry VIII’s desperation for a son is the principal reason why the English Reformation came about but was part of a larger religious movement in Europe that sought to replace Catholicism and Rome’s authority in religious and political matters.
