The English Civil War was a series of wars between the forces of the English Parliament (led by Oliver Cromwell) and the royalists supporting King Charles I.

The most prominent of the conflicts was the First Civil War, from 1642 to 1646, ending with the imprisonment of Charles. The second war, from 1648 to 1649 was between the rival factions over miltary supremacy and the influence of the king. It ended with the executions of prominent Royalists including the beheading of Charles, and the establishment of the Commonwealth of England as a republic on May 19, 1649. The final war, from 1649 to 1651, pitted Charles II and the Scots against the Parliamentarian militias, but popular sentiment among the people led to the failure of the Royalists to regain power.
