Who did cromwell fight?
If it's Oliver Cromwell then he fought king Charles I. Charles thought he could rule England by himself and believed in the Divine right of kings which means that he thought he was chosen by god to be king. after a few years of ruling without Parliament he was running out of money and asked Parliament to come back of coarse Parliament wasn't really happy. Charles was also a catholic he said he was a protestant but acted like a catholic and since England was a protestant country civil war was just waiting to happen. war was fought against the Cavaliers (Royalists) and the Round Heads (Parliament). Oliver Cromwell became in charge after a while and he was a puritan a super strict protestant and that was when Charles was really in trouble because before Oliver Cromwell was in charge if Parliament they would have probably banished him but of coarse Cromwell had him beheaded. Of coarse when he died England was so fed up with the rules of the puritans they wanted a king back so Charles II came to the throne in the restoration and he was known as the Merry Monarch. Hope this helped.

What are the similarities and differences between Charles the first and oliver cromwell?
Both Charles the first and Oliver Cromwell had a Parliament in which they needed the approval of to tax or change certain laws, although Charles tended to dissolve his parliaments for long periods, only restoring them when he needed money for wars. Parliament overthrew Charles and abolished the monarchy in England and claimed it a commonwealth. Cromwell later took the title of Lord Protector to act as a figurehead as the Commonwealth Parliament were incapable of agreeing on how to run the country. The only similarity seem to be the fact that a single individual had to be in charge of the country.
How did the English Civil War lead to the rise of the Commonwealth?
the English civil war was won by Oliver Cromwell (a member of the parliament) who was fighting for democracy. since he won the war, the parliament executed Charles I because of the charge of treason against him. England eventually became a democratic government. at first, the parliament ruled the country, but eventually, they couldn't seem to do the job, so they asked Oliver Cromwell to rule the country, since he was the most enthusiastic suitable and for the job. Oliver Cromwell refused, because he didn't want to have had killed the king just to take his place as king. so he ruled as the government, and kept England democratic...
