The English Civil War: Every Day

The English Civil War was a conflict between supporters of Charles I, the Royalists, and supporters of the English Parliament, the Parliamentarians.

Tensions had existed between the two institutions throughout Charles' reign, chiefly over political and religious differences. By 1640, Parliament had been suspended and recalled by Charles a number of times.

The conflict quickly escalted in January, 1642, when Charles left London for the safer North. During the course of that year, English cities quietly built up loyalties to either Charles or the Parliament.

On 22nd August, the King finally raised his standard at Nottingham, declaring war on Parliament.

I think the Thirty Years' War would look good in this style. Any thoughts on that?

And this is why the UK has never removed their monarch since. It didn't work the first time.

Great video, and I'm glad you included the oft-forgotten Channel Islands.

December 1st 1650 - that's a lot of gains in Scotland in one day.

This entire mess is also called the Wars of the Three Kingdoms, with the "English Civil War" considered a major but only a part of a whole.

the English colonies in North America took different sides Massachusetts was parliamentarian for example while Virginia Newfoundland and Bermuda were pro royalist. There was even a skirmish in Maryland

This is brilliant. Love the graphics. Always thought it was wrong though to execute Charles I.
Found some more of your work on the Germans and WWII and also the Napoleonic conquests which I am looking forward to watching.
Would be interesting to see one plotting the sad demise of the American Indian.
