Restoration of the monarchy (UK)

The Restoration of the monarchy in the UK refers to the period in 1660 when King Charles II was invited to return from exile and resume his throne after the English Civil War and the republican rule of Oliver Cromwell. This event marked the end of the Interregnum and the re-establishment of the monarchy, restoring stability and traditional royal authority. It signaled a shift back to constitutional monarchy, balancing royal power with parliamentary governance, and was significant in shaping modern British constitutional arrangements.
