Glorious Revolution
Sir Edmund Andros was important as the governor of the Dominion of New England from 1686 to 1689, a period marked by the consolidation of several New England colonies into a single administrative unit. His rule was characterized by strict enforcement of royal authority, the reduction of local self-governance, and the imposition of new taxes, which led to widespread resentment among colonists. Andros's governance ultimately sparked resistance that contributed to the Glorious Revolution in England and his subsequent overthrow, which helped restore local governance in the colonies. His tenure highlighted tensions between colonial autonomy and imperial control, shaping future colonial relations with the British crown.
Sir Edmund Andros was overthrown primarily due to his authoritarian rule and unpopular policies in the Dominion of New England, which combined multiple colonies under a centralized government. His attempts to enforce the Navigation Acts, suppress local assemblies, and impose taxes without consent led to widespread discontent among colonists. The Glorious Revolution in England in 1688, which resulted in the overthrow of King James II, inspired colonists to rebel against Andros, culminating in his arrest and removal from power in 1689. This event marked a significant moment in colonial resistance to authoritarian governance.
Sir Edmund Andros led the Dominion of New England from 1686 to 1689, implementing a centralized government that combined several New England colonies into one entity under royal control.

The Glorious Revolution brought a new type of government to Britain. England now had a Protestant ruler and a Bill of Rights meaning there was no longer an absolute power. This had little effect on the colonies and empire because parliament as well as the monarchy wanted to expand British rule because of the economic growth new territories allowed.
There were several events that could be said to lead to the Glorious Revolution, starting with with Elizabeth I's death in 1603, the Civil War of 1640, etc....the 2 events that probably directly lead to the Glorious Revolution, though, would be James II dissolution of Parliament and the birth of a Catholic heir to the Stuart crown.
Lenin led communist revolutionaries to overthrow the provisional government of Russia in November 1917. This led to Russia having the first communist government in the world.
