How did Charles II of England rise to power?

1 answer:

3 0

After Charles II's father, Charles I, was executed during the English Civil War, England became a republic for a few years under the leadership (and widely known as a dictatorship) of Oliver Cromwell. This harsh rule lasted about 7 years, and, after Cromwell died (and his son failed at taking his place), political instability led to the restoration of the monarchy, with Charles II taking the throne. He was then known as the "Merry Monarch" because 1) of the relief of the dictatorship of Cromwell being over and 2) he was willing to consent to Parliament's wishes in fear of another revolution.

Why might Caesar’s assassins have been unhappy with the long-term results of their actions?

julia-pushkina [17]

Caesar was named "dictator for life" by the Roman Senate. Some of the senators, such as Gaius Cassius Longinus, Decimus Junius Brutus Albinus, and Marcus Junius Brutus, feared that he would take the Senate power and become king or emperor, so they decided to kill him. They expected the Roman people to support them, which didn't happen.

After Caesar’s death, Augustus expanded the powers of Rome’s leader, for example by deifing him.
