The Commonwealth in England came to an end in 1660 primarily due to political instability and public dissatisfaction with military rule under Oliver Cromwell and his son Richard. After Cromwell's death in 1658, the leadership struggled to maintain control, leading to factionalism and a lack of legitimacy. The desire for a return to monarchy grew among the populace and political leaders alike, culminating in the Restoration of Charles II, who was invited back from exile. This shift marked the end of the republican experiment and the return of royal authority.
