Restoration England

Restoration England refers to the period starting in 1660 when the monarchy was restored after the English Civil War and the subsequent rule of Oliver Cromwell. This era saw Charles II ascend to the throne, marking a shift back to royal authority and the Church of England. It was characterized by cultural revival, with advancements in literature, theater, and science, as well as a loosening of the strict Puritanical controls of previous years. The Restoration also faced challenges like political factionalism and social change, setting the stage for future conflicts in England, including the Glorious Revolution.
