Question

What was "The Glorious Revolution?"

Answer 1

Answer:

William and Mary were invited to take the throne, causing Parliament to control the succession to the throne.

Explanation:

The "Glorious Revolution" happened in 1688. The event replaced "James II and VII" as a ruler of three countries. These countries were Scotland, England and Ireland.

His daughter, Mary II replaced him together with his nephew, William III (the sovereign prince of Orange). Mary II married his cousin, William III. Since James II and VII abdicated his throne (because he was in exile), he offered the throne to his daughter and nephew.

This revolution was considered "glorious" because no blood was shed and it was peaceful. Remember though that Mary II was different from Mary I. Mary I burned the Protestants, that's why she was called "Bloody Mary."
