Oliver Cromwell And The English Civil War : 25
pages in
length. The English Civil War was waged for several reasons,
none of which are atypical to the origin of most every war in
history. Power, greed and fear are the primary instigators that
propel people and countries into the ravages of battle, often
never solving the problem that threw them into war in the first
place. Oliver Cromwell and the Roundheads participation
were instrumental in the English Civil War, establishing a quest
for revenge in exchange for the years of oppression they
suffered. Indeed, the Roundheads, under Cromwells rule,
were a strong force to be reckoned with; it was as a direct result
of their moral commitment to battle that they came to be known
as an incredible fighting force. The writer discusses the causes
of the English Civil War, as well as focuses upon Cromwell and
the Roundheads. Bibliography lists 12 sources. Ocromwel.wps
