English civil wars

The English Civil Wars (1642-1651) were a series of conflicts between Parliamentarians, who sought greater control and power, and Royalists, who supported King Charles I’s authority. Tensions arose over political power, religious practices, and governance. The wars led to significant battles, the execution of Charles I in 1649, and the temporary establishment of a republican government under Oliver Cromwell. Ultimately, the conflicts reshaped the monarchy and Parliament's relationship, laying groundwork for modern democracy in England, influencing governance, civil rights, and the evolution of political thought. The wars marked a pivotal shift in English history.
