The English Civil War was between 1642 and 1651 and it happened in three rounds: The First (1642-1646), The Second (1648-1649) and The Third English Civil War (1649-1651).
The Civil War begun with political struggle between the supporters of the King (“Cavaliers”) and those of Parliament (“Roundheads”). The first two wars was happened between supporters of King Charles I and those of the Long Parliament. The third war pitted the supporters of King Charles II and the supporters of the Rump Parliament.
After the death of Queen Elizabeth I in 1603 and before the “Great Rebellion”1 (i.e. the English Civil War), the Parliament had limited role in the English system of government, that is why it functioned as a temporary advisor committee. The Parliament decided if only the Monarch was agreed.
Charles I was the King of England. But, between 1625 and 1629, the most common issues between Charles and the Parliament were money and religion.

Consequently, conflicts were inevitable as James I, and ensuing rulers, often found himself deficient of funds, and Parliament served as the gateway to the money. James I and his successor Charles I called Parliamentary meetings solely to ascertain the issue of funds. During this period, Parliament was rarely called upon and after these debates for money, Charles I and James I completely dissolved the Parliament. I did so because he agreed to admit the illegality of his taxes in turn for funding from Parliament. Afterwards, he abolished the Parliament to pursue his own endeavors. Furthermore, during Charles tenure, the English Civil War took place as a result from the lack of amity between Charles and Parliament. The Scottish invaded England, but Parliament refused to allow Charles to raise an army, because they feared he would abuse his powers and assail English citizens who opposed him. Charles I was eventually defeated and executed by Oliver Cromwell. Following the inadequacy of Cromwell, Charles II rose to power and was keyed the "merry monarch" for his easy-going nature. He imposed the Cabal system, a group of five individuals who handled the political issues of England; the term Cabal stems from the initials of each official member. This system acted as a type of Parliament in its methods of governing. During this period as a whole, it is evident that Parliament often conflicted with the ideals of the ruling monarch.…

    Early modern Europe – defined approximately as the period between 1450 and 1750 – was a revolutionary era during which political, economic, social, and intellectual upheavals abounded. The late medieval period witnessed political struggles between monarchs and nobles and between church and state. Renaissance ideas and ideals stimulated political debate and furthered conflict between political contenders. The Reformations of the sixteenth century – both Protestant and Catholic – exacerbated political realities as religious movements required monarchs to defend a chosen religious status within their realms as well as to deal with religious issues and choices in adjacent areas. Financing many of the conflicts was an influx of wealth taken from non-European areas during the Age of Exploration and Conquest. This money allowed some monarchs – and encouraged others to attempt – to establish increasingly effective and authoritative central governments. The influx of specie also led to a more relevant middle class, a relatively less powerful upper class, and a price revolution, all of which added to the turmoil.…
