If Crowell was alive today he'd be absolutely disgusted at the licence fee some of the poorest families in the land being persecuted and often forced to pay for a broadcaster that represents the interest and will of the elites of society. Crowell would have sorted the BBC out.
Can't say I agree with this doc'. Calling C'well a dictator is a bit of a crude caricature. He was no dictator! Three times in the next five years he called parliaments of one kind of another, striving to achieve a lasting constitutional settlement. In 1657, the Protectorate Parliament urged Ollie to take the crown and thereby ensure a lasting settlement. A more ambitious or self-interested man would probably have accepted it.
Be King in all but name. He was a bigot, religious fanatic, racist, war criminal, cancelled Christmas, he didn't want the ordinary man to have a vote and killed the Leverllers! Basically cross between Pot Pot and Bernard Matthews
I went to a dentist in S/W Mt. named Cromwell. As he was getting set up for Our appointment I asked "Cromwell - wasn't there someone famous by that name in history"? He said yes and He was a distant relative, but He didn't like to admit it. Later I looked it up on Wikipedia and learned about (Oliver Cromwell) and as I read up on Him I could see why the dentist didn't like to admit their relationship. Yup,! G-G 😀😄😁
My Catholic family fled London to Munster just to escape Cromwell. I knew the story since childhood. We're still Catholic to this day. ' Anglo Irish' they call us and were still in Ire, or: America, Nederlands, and Aussie.
This is a sub-standard history of Cromwell and his impact. The caricatures depict everyone as a villain and Charles II as some sort of godsend? What utter nonsense. Charles I was corrupt and was killed. The Parliament became corrupt and was dissolved by Cromwell. Charles II was brought back because the English lacked the imagination to form a republic.
I agree I believe this guy attended a school where the teacher told the pupils the King was great but Olliver's parliamentarian army was extremely naughty..all sounded a bit biased to me..
Very negative about Cromwell and yet credits the effects he had without attributing to him. This guy would have achieved as much at the time, of course...
what's the purpose of monarchy you ask? Tourism. We are one of the only countries which still have a monarch. It's tradition and we would lose a lot of tourists if we didn't. We need the king and queen.
ehhhh, yea, i've heard that rationale... but honestly, my husband and spent 6 wonderful days in London and the current royal family was not at ALL what lured me over. i went for the history and the gastropubs. buck palace was just meh. the War Rooms and The Tower of London were THE MOST interesting sights. i'm fascinated by british monarchs of the PAST, not this current bunch of mamby pambys 🙄
@@steveross8326 that's a spurious response. clearly "monarchs of the past" is referring to those who ACTUALLY RULED & MADE A DIFFERENCE IN THE GOVERNANCE OF THE NATION. the currents do JACKKKKK SQUAT
Do you know of a source for a more accurate version that you can send me to? Everything I find about all this is very ANTI Cromwell. He must have done something right...
Puppet or not the British people loved their monarchy because many centuries had past it still exist. No revolution can stopped them as long as people approves. It stays.
nah you are the one that has no idea. I was just responding to the video. you don't have any idea which part of the video I was responding to so shut your *ss.@msmissy6888

Cromwell was way ahead of his time
I'm here for school and then I see comments from 5-6 years ago arguing whether Cromwell was a bad leader or not.
lol
aha samee
innit lmao
Yes, Parliament didn't want the army around because they owed the army so much back pay, and the army refused to disband until they got paid.
Here from school?
I swear the whole army thing happened in aot season 3
My fellow weeb-💁♂️💁♂️
BAHAH THATS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT
Oliver Protector - the beloved and anointed of God. The Father of the Commonwealth Protectorate.
Oliver Cromwell would be a great leader today
whos here from there school histrory class?
School sent me here smh

Yes, but what would he have made of this current crop of MP's? If ever there was a group of establishment tools, they are it.
This has been over-simplified to the point of bare inaccuracy. I was trying to do some A level recap revision but I'll have to go back to books.
OC died in 1658. Charles was crowned in 1661. Nearly three years of history reduced to four or five sentences. Seems inadaquate to me.
correct, I have been studying Cromwell for 4 years and have only just scratched the surface!
If you are here for school. Remember. he was a great man. Dont think otherwise.

William Wallace
How can he have been a racist, idiot? The concept of race didn’t even yet exist in the 17th century.
Calm down
Cromwell may have been a religious fanatic ( which was not that unusual in the 17th century ) but he was no dictator.
