There has been a military force in Britain for much longer than the legacy of the current British Army goes, but the Royal Army is descended from Oliver Cromwell's New Model Army, which was formed by the Parliamentarians during the English Civil War to fight the armies of the Royalists. Dates vary by source, but the year 1645 is often cited.
