The English Civil Wars, or also in singular The English Civil War, was or were also called The Great Rebellion.


Generally, the English Civil Wars are divided into the

First Civil War,
1642 - 1646,

the Second Civil War,
1647 - 1648,

and the Third Civil War,
1650 - 1651.

 

Who Fought the English Civil Wars?

The English Civil Wars were fought by King Charles I and the royalists aka The Cavaliers vs. Parliamentarians aka The Roundheads, Oliver Cromwell was one of them.

The rebels in Scotland were called Covenanters.

Parliament didn't share the view of King Charles I in general, neither did they appreciate the King's unlawful taxation policies.

In 1645, Charles and his Royalists were defeated and Charles was taken prisoner.

Mr Oliver Cromwell convinced everyone that Charles was actually a traitor to his own people and people made Cromwell king but called him Lord Protector.
