English literature
the Anglican Church and Scotland went under Cromwell's rule. 1653 it became a dictatorship. The
army was used to retain law and order. The country strictly observed Puritan beliefs no
celebration of Christmas or Easter, no games on Sunday. Cromwell died in 1658, his son was his
successor, but fucked up. In 1660 Charles II was invited to return to the throne. He was a good and
judicious diplomat. Was Catholic yet allowed both Puritans and Catholics to follow their
beliefsystems. The first political parties were founded during that time: The Whigs and The Tories.
The Whigs were MPs, supported religious reedom, against absolute monarchy. 1685 Charles died
sans heirs. He was followed by James II, a devout and open Catholic, who tried to restore
Catholicism but was opposed by the Parliament. In 1688 the Glorious Revolution happened and
from that time on themonarch had to rule through the Parliament. Since 1701 only Potestants were
allowed to inherit the crown
