  British Civil Wars, Commonwealth and Protectorate 1638-60
The "English Civil War" of the mid-17th Century was part of a wider conflict that involved Scotland and Ireland as well as England and Wales. Also called "The Wars of the Three Kingdoms" and the "English Revolution", the British Civil Wars and Commonwealth period witnessed the trial and execution of a king, the formation of a republic in England, a theocracy in Scotland and the subjugation of Ireland. The first attempt was made to unite the three nations under a single government, and the foundations of the modern British constitution were laid.

From the signing of the Scottish National Covenant of 1638 to the Restoration of the Monarchy in 1660, this site explores the turmoil of the Civil Wars and Interregnum, and the constitutional experiments of the Commonwealth and Protectorate period of the 1650s.

The English Civil War was a truly profound political event in seventeenth century Europe. During this period, the Stuart kingdoms of Scotland, England and Ireland, and the Principality of Wales were ripped apart by religious and political unrest. But the conflict of the 1640s wasn't a purely British phenomenon, it was part of a wider struggle for supremacy between Catholics and Protestants in Europe.

This Civil War website offers detailed analysis of the personalities, events and battles of the Civil War era. It also considers the century of 'tremors' which precipitated the upheaval, and explores the 'aftershocks' which continue to affect British and Irish politics to the present day.

You can start your journey through the video overviews, via the interactive timeline or through the crucial events at the start of the Civil War. 		32
