We had the Civil War between the forces of King Charles I (cavaliers) and parliament (roundheads), which determined the death of an absolute monarchy; one in which the King has total authority.
Eventually, the Parliament forces prevailed and deposed the King, beheading him in 1649. From then on, England was a republic, under the authority of Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell.
His successor was not of the same calibre, and in 1660 the monarchy was restored under Charles I's son Charles II - with a much reduced authority, and answerability to Parliament.

The defeat of King Charles II at Worcester in 1651 is the final action in the English Civil war. The Crown was restored in 1660. After the death of King Charles I in 1649, Britain was a Commonwealth, effectively a Republic. In the UK, this is sometimes referred to as the The English Revolution. The first civil war lasted from 1642-45, and led to the rise of the Puritan Commonwealth and the execution of Charles I in 1649. The second civil war lasted roughly from 1655-59, and ended with the restoration of the Stuart monarchy in 1660.
What were the years for the English Revolution?
It depends on whether you're talking about the Civil Wars or the Revolution of 1688. The Civil Wars lasted from 1642-1660, Oliver Cromwell being the Lord Protector from 1649-1659. He died in 1659 and his son Richard became Lord Protector, but was unable to hold the government together, so Parliament invited Charles II back in 1660. That ended the first phase. The second phase culminated in 1688 when William and Mary were invited to take the throne after James II was forced off the throne.
