The British Civil Wars (also known as the English Civil Wars or the Wars of the Three Kingdoms), were a series of conflicts fought across Britain from 1639 to 1653. The Civil Wars had a profound effect on the history of England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, and saw the rise of republican ideals, the execution of a King, and a military dictatorship in the British Isles. Ultimately, the British monarchy was able to survive these tumultuous times, but what if history happened differently? What if, in an alternate timeline, a radical faction of politicians and philosophers were able to seize power in Britain? Today we explore the background of the real-world conflict and lay the foundation for this multipart alternate history scenario!
