Yes, Protestantism was created in the 16Th century when Henry VIII wanted to divorce his wife and Catholicism wouldn't let him.

Yes. Catholicism was the first Christian religion.

"The word Protestant is derived from the Latin protester [2][3] meaning publicly declare which refers to the letter of protestation by Lutheran princes against the decision of the Diet of Speyer in 1529, which reaffirmed the edict of the Diet of Worms in 1521, banning Luther's documents. Since that time, the term Protestantism has been used in many different senses, often as a general term merely to signify that they are not Roman Catholics."

Way older. Protestants were groups who split from the Roman Catholic Church.
