Oliver Cromwell

he called himself lord protecter instead of king; previous characters were leading excessive life styles amd were king by devine right, Cromwell was a 'simple soldier of and for the people'

He was a bad leader.He made little children be slaves and he killed many people for the wrong reasons. He also had an evil glare he tended to do when he was looking at everyone!! But only in the movie (Hollywood)...I don't know for real life!!! :D

Oliver Cromwell's war crimes in Ireland, along with the confiscation of Irish Catholic lands, which were redistributed to British Protestants, created a conflict which lasted throughout modern times. Catholics were oppressed by the English Protestant members. He allowed a large amount of religious diversity, and was the first to exercise the principle of accountability of leaders to the people.

Cromwell objected to Charles I in many different ways. On one hand, he was against the taxation of subjects which meant that property was not safe, and on the other hand, he believed in religious freedom and toleration. Cromwell didn't like the way he treated parliament and wanted to overthrough him. He was very religious and didn't like the way Charles was cahnging the church. He thought because of Charles wife was Catholic she would try and turn England and Scotland Catholic.

limited the power of the king. but he was a bigot who commited a genocide against Irish catholics

His title was Lord Protector [of the Realm]

He conquered Scotland and Ireland, executed the soldiers who would have made a political change in the government in a more libertarian direction. After executing the King he made himself a dictator and would have been King, but it appears he was anxious what his army officers would say and do about it!

As the Lord Protector, Oliver Cromwell game the women of England the opportunity to write and publish their own books, to perform in theatres, etc...

Cromwell also banned dancing, gambling, laughing to a great extent, Christmas, Eating turkey on Christmas day, going to theatres, watching bear baiting and cock fighting football and other famous sports, working on Sundays, makeup, etc...

lord protector of England and the leader of the new model army

Oliver Cromwell was a Puritan, and his army was called the New Model Army. Opinions are divided as to whether he was a hero or a genocidal dictator.

The Irish in particular hated him as he brutally subjugated the Irish people and forbid them to practice their Catholic religion.

Some believe that he was a hero for ending the institution of absolute monarchy and promoted tolerance in religion (apparently excepting Catholics). He felt that God was guiding his military and political actions.

Cromwell's government was only successful as long as he lived. After he died, the monarchy was restored and his body was exhumed, beheaded and hanged.

Sadly it appears simply because they were Catholics & he was not. While I may admire Cromwells military skill & leadership qualities this is one General I strike from my list of the greats.

Actually he also did it because he was worried that another country was going to join with the Irish and take over England.

This is absolutely not the case whatsoever.

England had been in a civil war Ireland had supported Charles I against parliament and Cromwell. Cromwell landed in Ireland to destroy the royalist forces and the infamous masscre at Drogheda, for example, consisted almost entirely of English troops and not Irish civilians as is often touted. Indeed, most of the civilian casualties happenned AFTER Cromwell had left Ireland.

Cromwell himself said that while he had no truck with Catholicism he didn't begrudge the man who believed it as long as he didn't take up arms.

Cromwell is thought to have suffered from malaria (probably first contracted while on campaign in Ireland) and from "stone", a common term for urinary/kidney infections. In 1658 he was struck by a sudden bout of malarial fever, followed directly by an attack of urinary/kidney symptoms. A Venetian physician tracked Cromwell's final illness, saying Cromwell's personal physicians were mismanaging his health, leading to a rapid decline and death, which was also hastened by the death of his favorite daughter Elizabeth Cromwell in August at age 29. He died at Whitehall on 3 September 1658, the anniversary of his great victories at Dunbar and Worcester.

please can someone answer this question 4 me as i despratley need it to help with my homework thanks

Cromwell created a 'commonweath' - that is the principle that the state exists for the masses and not for the king (the masses meant the merchant classes, the peasants were simply ignored). The Commonwealth principle has existed in England (and the successor states) since.

He tried to take over ports on the East Side of Ireland to try and create reinforcements and logistics from England. The first town to fall was Drogheda where thousands of people were massacred such as Catholic Priests as ordered by Cromwell himself

The English Civil war a conflict between Parliamentarians and supporters of Charles I.At Naseby Cromwell and Fairfax were victorious and Charles I was exiled.More fighting broke out later and it ended with the execution of Charles I.

Oliver Cromwell became Lord Protector.

It is hard to know if Cromwell lived in felsted Essex because it was so long ago and there are not many sources indicating where he lived. However we do know that he was a farmer and worked in Parliament. Essex was a farming land and very close to London where Parliament is so it is very possible that Cromwell did live in felsted Essex.

Oliver Cromwell allowed Jews to return to England in 1656 after centuries of expulsion. This decision was part of his broader policy of religious tolerance and was influenced by economic considerations, as he sought to boost trade and commerce. The resettlement marked the beginning of a small but significant Jewish community in England, which had been largely absent since their expulsion in 1290.
