The deposition of James II and VII (same person, different kingdoms) in November 1688 was a singular event that followed the wider 1639 to 1653 Wars of the Three Kingdoms, which included The English Civil War (a series of civil wars and political machinations from 1642 to 1651) A singular action with no bloodshed that followed a period in which bodies were stacked high, including over a hundred thousand non combat civilians. A singular action with no bloodshed that sparked a long series of bloody revolts that began in March 1689, with major outbreaks in 1715 and 1719, and culminated in the Jacobite rising of 1745. Yes - he did mention the day James was deposed, you ignored the rest of century that surrounded that day. |
