English Civil War
Shelf by nono umasy
The English Civil War (1642-1651) was a pivotal series of armed conflicts and political machinations between Parliamentarians ("Roundheads") and Royalists ("Cavaliers") largely over issues of governance and authority. This tumultuous period, which witnessed the temporary overthrow and execution of King Charles I, marked a significant chapter in British history. It not only fundamentally changed the relationship between the monarchy and Parliament, but also set the stage for the rise of the Commonwealth under Oliver Cromwell, and later, the Restoration of the monarchy. The war's legacy includes critical developments in constitutional government and a profound impact on the future of democracy in England, setting precedents that influenced political structures globally.
