England is a republic (may 19, 1649 – may 8, 1660)
Description:
After the English Civil War ended, and Charles I was executed, England became a commonwealth, or a republic. Under this time period, Oliver Cromwell led the country, despite it being a republic. There were no forms of entertainment, as the country was Calvinist and fun was considered sinful. However, in 1660, the republic ended, and a new monarch took the throne.Added to timeline:
