Why did the English Civil War Happen? - Early Modern History DOCUMENTARY

This is good but I wish you would not partner with such ridiculous, unproductive and stereotypical games - it detracts from the serious and quality content that you are normally renowned for.

Is this narration a robot voice?

i was expecting raid shadow legends but ok then lmao

Hundred years war also had its impact here as the english loosing the war that means the power of the king became less powerful and need to listen to the parliement unlike the french kings in which they for next hundred years have ultimate absolute power until the french revolution.

I wonder how the English Civil War would influence the American Colonies. The 13 Colonies did support the Parliament during the war, and the arguments made by the English Parliament are effectively the same ones used by the American Patriots in the Declaration of Independence. The only differences is that America was fighting for self rule, and Independence. Not over throwing a king.

The arguments about unfair taxes soft on other religions/theologies and unlawful behavior becoming of a King are the same in both wars. Just a thought anyways.

If only I had this video during A Levels

Most of England’s history was used to influence the writings of the Game of Thrones

Charles I reminds me of some of the worst people I've played DnD with. Decent guys so long as you kept the rulebook out of their hands.

This is good. Keep it up!

“Obscure laws,” y’know like ancient Scottish customs that make me a certified lord for buying a square foot plot of land in a massive parcel owned by a Hong Kong-based conglomerate.

Why there is no video on the anglo/dutch war? The sea battles and many times the english attacked and failed in Holland. Also interesting is a battles overview how holland freed itselve from french and spannish rule and became the Netherlands of today. The influence of the Napoleon era had on the dutch republic.

Absolute monarchy is better

I know it has been said many times, but it's crazy that all of K&G's content is free!

Honestly, Charles 1st would have defo dissolved our current modern day government lol.

Did kings and generals just say Britain invented parliamentary democracy? Inventing an organized group of senators and a voting populating combing to make governmental decisions? STFU
Also britains history is not long and rich, it is late compared to everyone else's and would be even less if they didnt have a monopoly on the western coast to travel to america. Lucky they got rich. And they used that to make the rest of the world, and themselves in the long run, poor.

Cool vid

My 10th great grandfather, George Mason, was a Cavalier, and was a cavalry captain under King Charles II. After the Battle of Worcester, him and his brother fled to Virginia in the United States, establishing Accokeek Plantation on Accokeek Creek. Thus, making the Masons one of the first families to settle Virginia. Some hundred years later, his great grandson (my 7th great uncle) George Mason IV was the basic author of the Bill of Rights for the American constitution and is credited as a Founding Father. His brother, Thomson Mason (my direct ancestor) was also a member of the first Supreme Court of Virginia.

Pop-ish LOL. It’s pope-ish!!

This period has always been so fascinating to me because there is a radical change in geopolitical thinking from the end of the English Civil War and 30 years war to the War of Spanish Succession. This is when the shift to thinking like nations as a whole really set in especially in Britain. And it all happened pretty rapidly from roughly 1650 to 1700. It is this shift towards nation based thinking, I believe, that created the conditions for the Industrial Revolution to occur.

Israel is not a country

The twin fuses of religion and taxation. Sounds like the fuse of the american right wing as well.

King Charles was beheaded in January 1949 by humans who were opposed to alcoholics Sodomizing their twelve year old Sons. Sodomite Alcoholic King Charles was forcing an alcoholic terrorism cult composed of drunkard crazy child rapist pervert scum.
The Separatist had Seven complaints. The fifth complaint was the Priests of this Cult the King was promoting was entirely composed of alcoholic homosexuals and they were raping all the twelve year old boys they could get their hands on.

I would be so lost without this channel!!!

Thank you for what you do.

A lot of historians now such as Trevor Royle consider the English Civil Wars as part of the larger conflict known as the Wars of the Three Kingdoms - the battles in Ireland and Scotland, whilst separate, were closely interlinked with those in England

Looking at the "theoretical" power of the modern-day queen/king of england in 2023 it has not much changed. The queen/king could abolish parlment and the prime minister with a order the royal navy to launch 20 ICBM's and nuke the entire west coast of the USA and a "loyal" sailor who oath is to follow any orders given will comply and launch the nukes.
Now to be fair that's assuming everybody follows these illegal orders and does not refuse. In theory the queen/king could have anybody arrested and executed on the spot by royal decree alone.
Some of these laws and customs are 300+ years old however....

in hindsight, it is straight forward horrific how many actions have been taken just on the ground of different superstisions.

Such an underrated video u deserve so many more subs I can’t comprehend how long it took to make this

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

One thing history channels repeat over and over again is this idea of the UK having a "constitution." It does not. None was ever drafted to this day. It's one of the great failings of the modern political culture.

:39 technically speaking according to the Magna Carta England was always a constitutional Monarchy but some how it was forgotten until the civil war.

I love how I come to do my history homework and get an ad for a game

VTH sent me

anyone else come here cause of mike duncan?

For decades, Elizabeth allowed free worship. Her rule is seen as a golden age. Look what happened when one group outlaws the other's beliefs. Sad.

Correction. Parliament couldn't raise taxes more efficiently then the King. However, the king couldn't raise taxes without Parliament because of a grant by Edward the first back in the 1200. This really annoyed Charles.

Yes, many men were "happy" with Charles I rule, because wide is the road that leads to destruction, and many go through it, but narrow is the way that leads to life, and few find it, as the "Calvinist" Protestants had.

brilliant documentary. we always appreciate your hard work and dedication towards these videos. English civil war one of my fav and devastating periods. Charles I was educational man but his reforms too quick that he loss his head. love from Sri Lanka.

I think your content is, on the whole, excellent. But as an Anglican Priest, theologian, and historian I must recommend you get some better inputs on the religious aspect of things where pertinent. I have noticed a tendency to treat religious factors, at least as it pertains to Christianity, a little too loosely. For example, William Laud may have had sympathies toward the Armenians (viz the Gomarists as it pertained to the Remonstrant Controversy), but in reality he approximated toward traditional Lutherans in his convictions (a well represented camp in the English Church at this time). Either way, this had nothing to do with the matter pertaining to Romanism and his perceived efforts to realign the Church toward Rome (which he openly stated was completely contrary to his agenda multiple times). Laud was a thoroughgoing Protestant, but he was also a High Churchman who maintained the importance of liturgical ceremony and aesthetic, and a strong position against puritanical non-conformist impulses.

"For my care of this Church, the reducing of it into order, the upholding of the external worship of God in it, and the settling of it to the rules of its first reformation, are the causes (and the sole causes, whatever are pretended) of all this malicious storm, which hath lowered so black upon me, and some of my brethren." Archbishop William Laud, Speech in the Star Chamber at the censure of John Bastwick, Henry Burton and William Prynne (16 June 1637).

Civilization VI music!

I watch your channel, i consider it good to watch, i m an historian, but when someone loses a part of the body , very tragicly you do not need to highlight it as something that we need to see, there are some younger audience. Just a note to you. All the best

love the content!

I'm from a Gainsborough in Lincolnshire, there was a battle in the civil war here and great great etc grandfather was a commander, I think he changed sides eventually 🤣 smart guy I suppose

This is a very interesting documentary.

Kings are best when placed where they belong, a wee bit closer to hell.
