Oliver Cromwell
1. The struggle between the king and the people (or Parliament) always made up the English history. At first, and
for many centuries the king was all-powerful but gradually his powers were reduced. One of the most decisive moments
in this struggle came in the 17th century. Charles I was on the throne at that time.
2. The actual fighting in the Civil War broke out in 1642. At first the Royalists were far more attractive than the
Parliamentarians. They had learning and good manners. The Parliamentarians were mostly Puritans, men who wanted a
simpler form of religion. But it were Parliamentary forces that brought Oliver Cromwell.
3. Cromwell was a farmer with no desire to be known in the world. He was in Parliament, unskillful as a speaker
but known for his strength of character. He went to eastern countries and gathered soldiers there. He trained his men in
complete obedience, filled them with the desire to fight for freedom, Parliament and Religion. His famous order was
"Trust in God, and keep your powder dry".
4. Several battles were won by the Parliamentarians, and finally in 1645 the king's forces were completely de-
feated. Cromwell was nоw the leader of the whole Parliamentary forces. The king gave himself up and was imprisoned.
Later he was brought to trial in London. He was found guilty and sentenced to death.
5. Cromwell became the ruler of England. For ten years he ruled England firmly but well. It was he who really
united England, Scotland and Ireland. He enforced justice and order at home and made England stronger. He at times
acted like a tyrant, but he did it because in this he saw the only means of bringing order and peace in England. His
strength, his honesty and sincere religion made him respected as one of the greatest Englishmen.
