Hi everyone

I'm working on a research about "Anglican", and i want to know their history, can someone please help me by providing me some information about the anglican's history and their basic teachings?

Oh man, this is bringing back memories of school...
There's loads of stuff, but off the top of my head, look at the Tudor monarchs. In particular, look at Henry VIII's split with Rome, the constant swinging between Protestantism and Catholicism until Elizabeth I's Religious Settlement, and then examine the foundation of the church as we know it today.
There's your first paragraph laid out. I'll come back with some links to websites or something soon.

was it not set up because the king could not get a divorce and so split from the catholic church to set up and become the head of the church and allow divorce?

dont quote me but i am sure thats what i heard

That was one of the reasons, certainly, but also that Henry was a little out of pocket. Whisperings in his ear revealed that should he take control over Church lands, he could get huge amounts of money off them, hence the dissolution of the monasteries and the chanceries.
