The war began due to a conflict began Charles and the Parliament. Many other causes for the revolution are attributed to many social, economic, constitutional, and religious developments over the last century.

That immediate cause sparked parliaments protests, which occurred in 1637 when Charles tried to impose the Anglican liturgy of Scotland into a very parliament, army, king, cromwell, charles, over, war, king’s, scots, made, first, began, scotland, revolution, england, battle, soon, scottish, presbyterian, political, now, government, control, church, against, time, right, put, new, known, genius, followers, english, controlled, complete, civil
