The republican experiment whose regicide founding, Cromwell's Ironside discipline, and Puritan governance made them the most radical and most constitutionally revolutionary regime in the entire history of the British Isles.
Commonwealth of England — the republic declared in the aftermath of Charles I's execution on a January scaffold outside the Banqueting House, the only moment in English history when the nation looked at its monarchy and decided to try something else, the men who signed the death warrant of a king crossing a threshold that no amount of subsequent Restoration mythology could entirely erase. Governed by the Rump Parliament and then the iron will of Oliver Cromwell whose New Model Army had made the republic possible and whose Lord Protectorship made it a military dictatorship in all but name, the Commonwealth conquered Ireland with a savagery at Drogheda and Wexford that poisoned Anglo-Irish relations for three centuries, subdued Scotland, and built a naval power that humbled the Dutch — before Cromwell's death left a regime with an army but no legitimacy, collapsing into the relieved arms of Charles II in 1660.
