A community portal about Oliver Cromwell with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Oliver Cromwell was an English military and political leader best known for making England a republic and leading the Commonwealth of England. He was a middling gentry farmer for the first forty years of his life; a religious conversion experience made religion the central fact of his life and actions. A brilliant soldier he rose from the ranks to command the Army. Politically he took control of England, Scotland, and Ireland as Lord Protector, from December 16, 1653 until his death. Cromwell is a very controversial figure in English history—a regicidal dictator to some historians and a hero of liberty to others
