Notes about Cromwell and experiments in Government during Interregnum. This is a topic that students generally shy away from. If you are feeling confident, I really encourage you to write your decision essay from this end of the topic.

UPDATED VERSION OF EXPERIMENTS OF GOVT.

Remember, key decisions in this area are about Cromwell and his desire for / or lack of desire for power. The experiments of government can be used as evidence for either of these - you just have to make up your own mind as to which way to go !!!

This period of Interregnum was a time of enormous stress - even though the civil war had finished the situation was far from the stability that people craved. Therefore after the death of Oliver Cromwell and the miserable failure of his son Richard, the idea of the Restoration appealed to both common people and nobility alike.

Here are the Restoration notes and a set of notes for why Cromwell wasn't successful.

GOOD LUCK FOR THE EXAMS !!!!!!!
