In the 17th century, the Commonwealth primarily refers to the period in England from 1649 to 1660 when the monarchy was abolished following the English Civil War. This era was marked by the establishment of a republican government, initially led by Oliver Cromwell as Lord Protector. The Commonwealth aimed to create a new political order based on parliamentary sovereignty and Puritanical reforms, but it faced internal conflicts and challenges. Ultimately, the period ended with the Restoration of Charles II in 1660.
