Early Modern Era Battles
The English Civil War, also known as the War of the Three Kingdoms (1642-1651), marked a tumultuous chapter in British history. Fueled by political, religious, and economic tensions, it pitted Royalists loyal to King Charles I against Parliamentarians seeking greater authority. The conflict witnessed iconic battles such as Edgehill, Marston Moor, and Naseby. The Parliamentarian victory led to the temporary establishment of the Commonwealth under Oliver Cromwell, transforming England into a republic. The war's repercussions were profound, reshaping the monarchy's role and sowing the seeds for constitutional reforms. This period left an indelible mark on England's political landscape, setting the stage for future governance structures.
