Restoration of the Monarchy

The Restoration of the Monarchy refers to the return of a royal family to power after a period of republican or non-monarchical rule. A notable example is in England in 1660 when King Charles II was restored to the throne after the English Civil War and the subsequent rule of Oliver Cromwell. This event marked the end of republican government and the re-establishment of monarchy, reflecting a desire for stability and a return to traditional governance. The Restoration also led to significant cultural and political changes, affirming the monarchy's role while recognizing the need for a more balanced relationship with Parliament.
