Charles I & The English Civil War Documentary, and the Battle of Berestechko (1651)

[Astronuc]

I was listening to a biography of King Charles I of England and the English Civil Wars (1642 and 1651), which were part of a larger social and religious conflict throughout England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, and involving some people from continental Europe, based on familial, political and religious ties among the various states.

There were "three wars fought in England between those loyal to Charles I and those supporting Parliament, in 1642–6, 1648 and 1649–51, but the English Civil Wars were part of a wider conflict that also involved Wales, Scotland and Ireland, and known as the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish soldiers fought in all the conflicts."

and since then came across a concurrent conflict between the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Cossack Hetmanate and Crimean Khanate, and the Battle of Berestechko (1651). I was curious about parallels in the motivations to engage in bloody conflicts of kings, nobles and their armies. Such was the way of the world back in the day.

Looks interesting. Just liking it without reading it would be shallow, but there's so much I want to read!


EDIT: So what the heck....

What the heck indeed. A member of political sister website CivicsWatch referenced the English Civil Wars in this thread https://civicswatch.com/threads/civil-wars-and-democracy.110/#post-1469 (I used my response to locate the thread).

Historians and linguists debate the effects of these conflicts on European migration to American colonies and subsequent establishment of regional dialects.
