Oliver Cromwell and Parliament went to war with King Charles I primarily due to conflicts over political power and governance. Charles's attempts to assert absolute authority, bypass Parliament, and impose taxes without consent led to widespread dissatisfaction. Additionally, his perceived disregard for parliamentary sovereignty and civil liberties fueled tensions, culminating in the English Civil War. The struggle represented a broader conflict between royal prerogative and the emerging principles of parliamentary democracy.
