Missing The new constitution was called the Humble Petition and Advice and was presented to Cromwell in March 1657. It was an attempt to return to the 'good old days' when the monarch's powers were checked by the Privy Council and both Houses of Parliament. Cromwell was also invited to be King.

Many villages after Drogheda and Wexford did not want to be under Cromwell’s rule, but the Protectorate offered “protection from looting” and “no harm to the officers” if they did not fight. Most of the villages agreed to these terms. Although the harsh climate of Ireland and winter eventually forced Cromwell to retreat to England, he had conquered
English Revolution The history of the English Revolution from 1649 to 1660 can be briefly told. Cromwell's shooting of the Levellers at Burford made a restoration of monarchy and lords ultimately inevitable, for the breach of big bourgeoisie and gentry with the popular forces meant that their government could only be maintained either by an army (which in the long ran proved crushingly expensive as well as difficult to control) or by a compromise with the surviving representatives of the old

The middle class was growing in influence over the United Kingdoms. There were power struggles between parliament and the royalty for who should have the most power, but the
rebellions. One of the most famous struggles was the English Revolution. The revolution was a civil war between the king’s supporters and the parliamentary forces in England.

Moreover, the fact that the arrival of the British in Uganda was not accompanied by the theft of African land for white farmers - as it was in Zimbabwe or Kenya - meant that some of the bitterness and resentment felt about European rule

Their equality before the law, granted by statute, has become practically a dead letter ... Attacks in Parliaments, in assemblies, in the press, in the pulpit, in the street, on journeys ... become daily more numerous.” (Herzl 423) He therefore proposed that the only conceivable solution to the rampant anti-semitism was to create a recognized, independent Jewish
