Who caused the English Civil War?

Monarchy's status declining. King James and Parliament clashed because Parliament had one advantage, more money than James. James re-called Parliament to discuss his son's marriage to princess of Spain, and Spain wasn't seen as a friendly country at the time. The English Civil War occurred because Charles II disbanded Parliament.


What were the political effects of the English Civil War?

The short term causes is something i do not know and is exactly what i am looking for however i know what the long term causes are. Religion, Politics, Economy. Short term causes may have something to do with how Charles used his money; on his own clothes, favourites and his family rather than on his country


How did King Charles I lose the civil war?

Charles I was defeated in the Civil War for a number of reasons:-Rich supporters of Charles' ran out of money so he couldn't get supplies.His soldiers were badly equipped.He had no money to train and pay his soldiers.Parliament chose well experienced commanders. (Cromwell and Fairfax)Parliament controlled the south-east of the country which was the richest part.John Pym set up a organised system to supply Parliament with money.The Navy supported Parliament, so it was easier to get supllies and men from abroad.


Who was to blame for the English Civil War?

The king was more to blame due to his greed and arrogance. He could not efficiently handle money which is the reason why he barely had any money. He also always tried to force Parliament to hand some over. He attempted ship money, which made those who lived on the coast pay extra taxes to support the navy, but later, it was enforced on all the citizens of England. The shutting down of Parliament for a little while does not help his case either. Through this, the King lost many natural supporters of the monarchy and military which aided the Parliament in becoming more powerful than the monarchy. Also parliament because they didn't give him enough money to last his reign, which is why he had to keep going back for more. They made him sign the death warrant and they introduced the 19 propositions which made king Charles like a puppet king. Also they built up an army without his permission xx


How did the glorious revolution show that Parliament had gained more power than the monarch?

Because King James II fled the country and never dared come back.
