The Glorious Revolution that took place in England in 1688 was so named because it is said that no shots were fired in the overthrow of James II in favor of William and Mary. However, William of Orange did invade England and there were several rebellions and wars before and after 1688. The English Civil War took place less than 40 years earlier and set the wheels in motion for this coup; the Monmouth Rebellion took place in 1685, just three years earlier. The Jacobite war in Scotland, the Williamite war in Ireland, and war with France followed the Glorious Revolution.
