the only thing i thought was bad about 1536 was the loss of anne boleyn.

That year was also decisive for some of the Nordic countries. After a 2 year civil war, the Danish king Christian the Third, who was a committed Lutheran, won control of Denmark, Norway and Iceland.

In 1536 he forced through the reformation in these countries, essentially crushing the Catholic church, who had been present in the region for more than 500 years. This was done so efficiently that, unlike Britain and many other countries, the catholics were never even able to attempt a comeback.

The Romans weren't that bad; they bought civilization to the British Isles, written language, sophisticated building techniques, roads and other technologies. Henry the VIII had about 72,000 of his fellow citizens put to death during his reign and countless others were imprisoned. The blitz killed 65,000 British citizens.

the romans were not bad at all they were the greatest and i consider them still to be the greatest of empires after Alexander. the british obviously didn't mind it bc they seem obbessed with creating a great empire like the romans

I agree. They even had central heating & liked to bathe daily, something the world forgot until the end of the 19th century. I'd take living under the pragmatic Romans any day rather than living under the murderous, religious zealots who followed.
