Cromwell's New Model Army

Cromwell's New Model Army was a revolutionary military force established during the English Civil War in the 1640s. Led by Oliver Cromwell, it was formed to create a disciplined, effective fighting unit that combined paid soldiers instead of relying on traditional feudal levies. The army emphasized training, professionalism, and a shared commitment to the Parliament's cause, which contrasted with other forces of the time. It played a crucial role in the defeat of the Royalist army and helped establish the Commonwealth of England, paving the way for significant political and social changes in British history.
