to obtain more power.
Between 1649 and 1658 Cromwell had more power than anyone else in Britain. In 1649 he took the New Model Army to Ireland. During the English Civil War Cromwell had heard terrible stories from Protestants in Ireland. He heard that Catholics committed horrible cruelties such as cutting off people's hands and feet and beating women's brains with poles. There were many such stories.
it took all of the winter 1644-1645? to make the new model army. In Cromwell's time you did not fight in winter because there weren't sufficient resources/supplies like food. Cromwell decided to made the new model army after he had successfully created his squadron, the 'Ironsides'.
He abolished the monarchy, and asserted the rule of Parliament. He started the idea of the Establishment - the church, the law, the army and the civil service as one ruling class, with leaders who had been educated at boarding-school. The 'posh' English accent can be traced back to this movement.

Oliver Cromwell rose to power in England during the English Civil War by leading the Parliamentarian forces against King Charles I, ultimately achieving victory in the conflict. Following the king's execution in 1649, Cromwell became the Lord Protector, ruling with a combination of military authority and political maneuvering. In Ireland, he led a brutal campaign from 1649 to 1650 to suppress Royalist uprisings, resulting in significant territorial control and the establishment of English rule. His leadership marked a significant shift from monarchy to a republican form of governance, albeit through authoritarian means.

Drogheda is a town in Eastern Ireland. It was actually besieged twice: once during the Irish Rebellion in 1641 by O'Neill and his insurgents, who failed to take the town, and again, more famously in 1649 by Oliver Cromwell in his Conquest of Ireland: He did take the town, and massacred most of its habitants: the entire military garrison, any Catholic clergy and many of the civilians.
