It was a long time ago but it was a very important turning point in British history as it has lead to a transition from a strong king & weak parliament monarchy to a weak king & strong parliament monarchy and eventually constitutional monarchy and democracy.
- JonnieCache 16y agoThe english civil war was not a popular uprising against the state by the populous, in the way that the French revolution was. The soldiers were largely paid professionals fighting for politicians. Most english paesants were not ideologically invested in the conflict. That is why these events have not had the same effect on the national psyche and culture of the English, their idea of what England and Englishness is, that other nations' revolutions have had on their people.
