Video Description

Oliver Cromwell remains one of the most controversial figures in British history—praised as a defender of liberty, condemned as a tyrant. Was he a military genius who saved England from monarchy, or a brutal dictator who crushed rebellion with an iron fist? This episode of Forgotten History explores Cromwell’s rise to power, the truth behind the English Civil Wars, and the lasting legacy of a man who still divides historians. There have been many dictators in history, and a few have been considered somewhat benevolent, others total despots. If you ask the English you will get mixed positive or negative response regarding Oliver Cromwell. The Irish only have one opinion of him and it is not a good one, and for good reason. Whether you like or hate him, Cromwell changed English history, with a ripple effect that reverberated for centuries after his death. Written and Hosted by Colin D. Heaton.
