4 things

Yes, a very good General who was inspirational to his men. However he is not going to find many fans in Ireland: Indeed I, as an Englishman, cannot condone religious destruction, especially when women & children are slaughtered in the name of God ! He became Lord Protector & was offered the Crown. He was succeded in this by his son, prior to the restoration in 1660. I suppose the kindest thing to say about him is that he upheld the rights of Parliament. But he is a very good reason, in my opinion, why Republicanism is not good, certainly no better that the Monarchy system.

Where as other people think Oliver Cromwell is a horrible man and deserved to die ! :)

Answer 3

Oliver Cromwell (25 April 1599 - 3 September 1658) was an English military and political leader best known for his involvement in making England into a republican Commonwealth and for his later role as Lord Protector of England, Scotland, and Ireland.

He was one of the commanders of the New Model Army which defeated the royalists in the English Civil War. After the execution of King Charles I in 1649, Cromwell dominated the short-lived Commonwealth of England, conquered Ireland and Scotland, and ruled as Lord Protector from 1653 until his death in 1658.

Cromwell has been a controversial figure in the history of the British Isles - a regicidal dictator to some historians and a hero of liberty to others. His measures against Irish Catholics have been characterized by some historians as genocidal or near-genocidal, and in Ireland itself he is widely hated.
