The Puritan Republic, often referred to as the Commonwealth of England, was a period from 1649 to 1660 when England was governed as a republic following the execution of King Charles I. Led by Oliver Cromwell and the Puritan faction, it aimed to implement a society based on Puritan religious principles and moral values. This era was characterized by significant political, social, and religious changes, including the promotion of religious tolerance for certain Protestant sects, though it was also marked by strict moral codes and censorship. The Commonwealth ultimately collapsed, leading to the restoration of the monarchy in 1660.
