Restoration & 18th Century (1 ene 1660 año – 1 ene 1790 año)

Descripción:

The Restoration of the monarchy in 1660 brought hope to a divided nation, but no political settlement could be stable until religious issues had been resolved. The restoration period was a time for expansion. The term 'restoration' comes from the crowning of Charles II, which marks the restoring of the traditional English monarchical form of government following a short period of rule by a handful of republican governments. During this time the population nearly doubled in size reaching 10 million people. This period began in 1660 when King Charles II was given back the English throne. A change came most dramatically to cities in London, new theaters, coffeehouses, concert halls, pleasure gardens, picture exhibitions, and shopping districts gave life a feeling of bustle and friction. Civil society also linked people to an increasingly global economy, as they shopped for diverse goods from around the world. During this time England, Scottland, and Wales were united as Great Britain by 1707 Act Of Union.
