CROMWELL

Oliver Cromwell emerged as a significant figure following the English Civil War, assuming the title of Lord Protector and effectively leading the country as a de facto ruler. His tenure was marked by his staunch suppression of various political and religious groups, such as the Levelers, Diggers, and Quakers, driven by fears of renewed conflict due to their demands for radical reforms.
