What was the main causes of the English Civil War?
The civil war was caused because Charles the I was a greedy man and wasn't the best English ruler. The big reasons why the Civil War started was because of: Money, Power and religion. Money: Charles spent too much money on himself. Soon enough he needed more money and makes people pay ship tax. People who refused were put in prison. Religion: Charles believed Kings get their power from God and must be obeyed. Charles married a Spanish Catholic (henrietta Maria. People thought Catholics could take over, Charles made William Laud the Archbishop, Laud didn't like puritans. Not liken Puritans he introduced statues, music and candles everything a Puritan hates. Laud's changes are forced upon Catholic churches and most Scots were Puritan. In 1639 the Scots attacked England because they didn't agree with the religious changes. Charles had to surrneder having no money or army to fight. Power: Charles ruled without Parliament, but he soon needed money! Charles asked the Parliament for money to fight the Scots. Strafford is executed by order of the long Parliament and Laud is put in prison. Earl of Strafford rules Ireland for Charles. He was very unpopular with the Irish and the long Parliament. These are the three main reasons for the English Civil War. Enjoy :)

Why did oliver cromwell want to fight with King Charles 1?
He didn't do it on purpose, basically he raised taxes because he had waisted all of his money and was very unpopular. He demanded that the Scots use an English prayer book, they rioted and King Charles I sent an army to calm them down. This plan did not work and the Scots invaded the North of England.

Why did the Britain civil war started?
The English Civil War started because King Charles 1 considered himself to be above the laws of the country and would prevent parliament from meeting unless his demands, (usually for money), were met. He also angered the people of Scotland enough for them to invade England, so Charles had to recall parliament to give him the money to fight the Scots army. This sort of thing happened too often for most members of parliament and when Charles sent 300 soldiers to arrest 5 members of parliament he realised he had gone too far. Charles then travelled to Oxford to raise an army against the representatives of his people and parliament retaliated with an army of their own.

Trigger facts about the English Civil War?
There are many different reasons for the causes of the English civil war but first I will start with the religious disputes over archbishops Laud's reforms of the church. Reforms were introduced that made churches more decorated (like catholic churches) Charles I collected customs duties without parliaments permission, he married a French catholic who was unpopular with his people. The Bishops' Wars were fought between the Scots and English forces led by Charles I. These conflicts paved the way for the uprising of Parliament that began the English civil wars. Charles I was attempting to enforce Anglican reforms onto the Scottish church. However the Scots were opposed to this, and even wanted to destroy the control that bishops had over the church. To this end, Charles' reforms were rejected by the Scottish Assembly at Glasgow in 1638. Charles was furious that the Scots had rejected his proposals, and hastily formed an English force with which to march on Scotland in 1639. He did not have the funds for such a military expedition, nor confidence in his troops, so he was forced to leave Scotland without fighting a battle. The unrest continued in Scotland, and when Charles discovered that they had been plotting with the French he again decided to mount a military expedition. This time, Charles called Parliament in order to get funds (1640). The second cause was the financial quarrels between the king and parliament. When parliament formed, they immediately wanted to discuss grievances against the government, and were generally opposed to any military operation. This angered Charles and he dismissed parliament again, hence the name "Short Parliament" that it is commonly given. Charles went ahead with his military operation without Parliament's support, and was beaten by the Scots. The Scots, taking advantage of this, went on to seize Northumberland and Durham. Charles found himself in a desperate position, and was forced to call parliament again in November, 1640. This parliament is known as the "Long Parliament". The third cause was the demands made by parliament for greater share government. The tension between Charles and Parliament was still great, since none of the issues raised by the Short Parliament had been resolved. This tension was brought to a head on January 4th, 1642 when Charles attempted to arrest five members of parliament. This attempt failed, since they were spirited away before the king's troops arrived. Charles left London and both he and parliament began to stockpile military resources and recruit troops. Charles officially began the war by raising his standard at Nottingham in August, 1642. At this stage of the wars, parliament had no wish to kill the king. It was hoped that Charles could be reinstated as ruler, but with a more constructive attitude to parliament. Parliaments were supported by the richer South and East, including London. Parliament also held most of the ports, since the merchants that ran them saw more profit in a parliament-lead country. Parliament definitely had access to more resources than the king, and could collect taxes. Charles had to depend on donations from his supporters to fund his armies. The fourth cause was that Charles I ruled without parliament. Charles I dissolved parliament because of all the disputes and ruled without it for 11 years. King did not like the wealth, power or ideas of parliament. He began making the decisions about taxes without parliament. The fifth cause was that the ship money argument. Without parliament, Charles had to think up new pays of raising money, e.g. ship money which was paid in times of war by people living the coast, now had to pay by all people even though there was no war. The sixth cause was that the parliament was recalled and demanded reforms. King Charles I wanted money, so he reopened the parliament to get money but they demanded the reforms e.g. never to be shut down again. These are called the long - term cases. Some M.P.S demanded more reforms from the king in a new list called 'the grand remonstrance' other M.P.S stick up for the king because he has already greed to some reforms. A rebellion starts in Ireland where Catholics murdered 200,000 Protestants. The England wondered if Charles supported the Catholics. Charles I try to arrest five M.P.S while parliament is in session, but they had escaped before hand. This lost the king a lot of respect and showed he wanted to control parliament after all. Parliament and the king argued over who control the Army. Only six days after trying to arrest the five Members of Parliament, Charles left London to head for Oxford to raise an army to fight Parliament for control of England. A civil war could not be avoided. By 1642, relations between Parliament and Charles had become very bad. Charles had to do as Parliament wished as they had the ability to raise the money that Charles needed. However, as a firm believer in the "divine right of kings", such a relationship was unacceptable to Charles. These are called the short - term causes. From the beginning of his reign, King Charles quarrelled with parliament about power. King Charles dismissed parliament in 1629 and ruled without it for 11 years. In 1635, King Charles made everyone pay the ship money tax. The Scots rebelled against the new prayer book which the king and archbishop laud introduced in Scotland. In 1638, the Scots invaded England. King Charles asked parliament for money to raise an army. Parliament made King Charles agree to reforms in 1641. King Charles and archbishop laud made changes of the Church of England which were unpopular. The puritans were angry about the king's Catholic sympathies. These are shot - term causes and long - term causes, they are linked together between causes and how they lead to civil war. I think there were almost as many reasons for people to fight the civil war as there were people fighting. Briefly, however, the main reason for the war was the king Charles I and his various parliaments did not agree about anything - religion, how the country should be run, how England should behave towards other countries and so on. This was made worse by the fact that Charles I, believing that kings got their power from god and so could rule as they chose, made no attempt to keep his parliament happy. He spent eleven years ruling without parliament at all. When the long parliament, called in 1640, tried to make him change his ways and he refused, war broke out. (Some important things may not have set off the war, without the small triggers). Hope this Helps
