An excellent introduction to the complex series of social, political and economic upheavals which resulted in the English Civil War. This atmospheric video includes an in-depth analysis of the military course of the war which ended in the execution of the King. The 30 minute viewing time allows the video to be featured in a single session with time for discussion.

Have seen this before previously on another channel. Great to see it again here. "Caesar had his Brutus, Charles had has Cromwell, George may profit from their example." Patrick Henry.
God’s crappy appointments of monarchs:
– Henry VIII (couldn’t bare a son, went rogue, smashed up the country)
– Elizabeth I (couldn’t have kids)
– James I (f*cked up the Bible)
– Charles I (couldn’t speak, went rogue, smashed up the country, lost 2 wars, head fell off)
– George III (blind and mad, lost America)

The grinding musack REALLY detracts from the video content….
A wonderful historical coverage documentary about the infamous Britain 🇬🇧 civil war. Thank you 🙏 ( the war channel) for sharing
Fire whoever decided to botch this great documentary by adding loud repetitive classical music completely inappropriately. Narrator + the din of batlle + bloody Vivaldi is too much for me. Managed to hold out for half an hour, at which point I wanted to strangulate and toss my device into the wall.
I'm always surprised about the little attention given to General at Sea Robert Blake.
I figure it's due to his success, and that success led to Regicide, but I also guess you can argue genocide.
If it wasn't for him, what would of become of Cromwell?
Understandably the Irish weren't super stoked about Cromwells arrival, but who hasn't committed a genocide in Ireland?
Music too loud.
Music is too loud in this video!!
I decided to abort viewing cos your music was irritatingly too loud. Too bad
Superb history video, but I'm gonna nit-pick…… Vivaldi's Winter from The Four Seasons was composed around 1718-20, some 50-60 years after the events covered in this doc. Great tune though.
