>Doesnt care about his Legacy
you mean: unable to raise his son proper

all of his achievements are completely demolished by the fact that he let jews back into england, therefore making him one of the WORST people to ever come out of britain

>>17990779
That was one of the few good things he did you dumb antisemite.

Historical people had severe unfettered autism, behavioural modernity and sapience were not achieved until 1800 at the earliest

This place soifaces over Guilliame le Conquerant who also brought the Jews into England, seems a bit inconsistent to seethe about Cromwell doing so

One of the greatest Englishmen and one of the greatest warriors that has ever lived.

Cromwell singlehanedly revived the age of piracy and privateering that francis drake and walter raleigh had pioneered before the fag stuarts ended it
Cromwell is a hero. britain would have had no carribean colonies without him

His house in Ely is pretty nice. Ely is a nice village

Literal Jew puppet and was bankrolled by them the entire time.

.....and no Caribbean immigrants today. Cromwell fails again ;)

tldr, still celebrating Christmas, chudwell

>>17990559 (OP)
He literally single handedly caused the slow decay of England and the two world wars by letting jews back into England.

I have never seen a single post praising William the Conquered and I’ve been on this board for years. I only ever see occasional arguments over whether he was more French or more Norse.

He's not wrong.

>>17990559 (OP)
No

He is the first Emperor of the British Empire and therefore mankind.

>>17993239
Irish*

He was an exceptionally skillful land commander but that's often overlooked due to his puritanical ideology and later role as Dictator.

>>17990559 (OP)
He literally ran England under a No Fun Allowed banner, he can go get fucked.

No Chud, brutal massacres are not based. At Drogheda and Wexford in Ireland, he sanctioned horrific violence, and his Irish campaign left scars that still matter. The 200,000 figure is debated. Still, his brutality in Ireland is one of his most infamous legacies.

Most of the things you list have no basis on reality or weren't done by Cromwell, retards.
>he closed the theater reee
That was the Long Parliament in agreement and it happened years prior to the purge of the non-Puritan elements.

>>17992251
That was also the Long Parliament and Cromwell himself opposed him. It's insane how faggots who don't know anything about the era other than that there was a guy named Cromwell attribute absolutely everything that happened to him.

What's even the point of a board dedicated to history when retards who never bother to actually check anything just repeat their normiefag misconceptions.

>>17994380
As a hardcore Presbyterian I don't like Cromwell that much because he broke the Solemn League and Covenant. Also parliament was 100% correct to punish Nayler, though I don't know a hot iron through the tongue was a fitting punishment.

>>17994314
killing irish is based

>>17994219
i remember some Cromwell expert anon proved this was incorrect. Cromwell was actually very easy going and pro-fun and "liberal" about a lot of things

>>17990577
English chimpouts are okay I guess.

Why was his cavalry so good?

>>17995683
He just anticipated a mosh pit and held back a reserve to flank the enemy commander

>let the Jews back into England
Let's see why.
>Cromwell favored readmission of the Jews into England, partly in the hope of thereby fulfilling the Messianic prophecy, but mainly because they had aided him as "intelligencers," and he foresaw that, with their control of the Portuguese and Spanish trade, and their large commercial interests in the Levant, the Hamburg Bank, and the Dutch East and West Indies, they would be of service to him in his expansionist policy, and would bring wealth into the country.
>in the hope of thereby fulfilling the Messianic prophecy

Oh, so he was the shabbos Evangelicuck of his time then.

>>17990559 (OP)
I don't think Cromwell was ever a serf. Serfdom had been abolished by Elizabeth and was quite rare beforehand too.

>>17995799
he was a noble but self imposed on himself a peasant lifestyle so he could rise back to power like Moses

>banned Christmas
Nooooo my yearly funkopop haul!!!!

>most based man to ever live
Not so fast.

Cromwell was undeniably competent and worthy of respect. It's ridiculous the way that people in the UK treat him simoky because their royals have so heavily propagandized against the commonwealth era.

Instead of cutting off his corpse's head, Charles II should have been on his knees thanking God that he inherited a country from Cromwell rather than his dipshit of a father. England was in way better shape than Charles I was capable of creating.

>>17995894
tbf a lot of anti-Cromwell propaganda comes from wretched Hibernians.
Theres a statue of Cromwell at Westminister.

You seem queer as fuck. Probably a tranny.

>>17993074
Low effort deflection tactics. Only confirms the validity of the original statement. Cromwell was a Jew Boi Pussy. Nothing more.

>>17995894
>muh commonwealth era
Cromwell was cool but lets not pretend the Commonwealth was some gigabased amazing era for England. It was a shitshow from start to finish which was literally held together by Cromwell himself as a military leader. Did they even pass a single piece of legislation in their short existence?

In reality Cromwell killed a tyrant, became one, died, his retard son lost the run of it and back came the monarchy.

>>17996738
COPE
Cromwell's reign saw britain's greatest expansion of colonial empire. His actions led to the golden age of piracy with men who rivalled francis drake like henry morgan serving under cromwell's western plan
