How did Henry the viii impact America?

Not at all. The United States of America did not exist as such during Henry's reign. Actually, Columbus discovered the Americas before Henry the VIII was born so there was an America. There just was not the "United States of" America. So his reign did have an impact on the Americas but not much is written about that part of history. He had to try to keep up with Spain and France. Henry's England was not prosperous enough to explore during the time that Spain and France established the Americas. One source said King Henry VIII started establishments on the east coast. However, there is not much information on colonies by England until Elizabeth I.

What happen in the Holy League in France which Henry VIII join in 1511?

you can't even use proper grammar to answer this question. let's try: "What happened in France when Henry VIII joined the Holy League in 1511?" and as far as my knowledge goes, Henry decided to join the Holy League (which pope Julius II created) only to expand his holdings in northern France. The Holy League formed an alliance between not only Spain and England but the Holy Roman Empire. And in 1511 they began their preparation for their involvement in the War of the League of Cambrai. When Henry invaded France his troops defeated the French army (1513) at the Battle of the Spurs. This caused his brother in law to turn against him and attempt to invade England. Which failed and ended in the death of Scotland's King. BUT if that's not what you are looking for, try to actually research this topic. because im not quite sure you even understand what the Holy League is.
