About Cromwell 關(guān)于克倫威爾
Oliver Cromwell was an English military and political leader best known in England for his overthrow of the monarchy and temporarily turning England into a republican Commonwealth and for his rule as Lord Protector of England, Scotland and Ireland.
Cromwell was born into the ranks of the middle gentry, and remained relatively obscure for the first 40 years of his life. His lifestyle resembled that of a yeoman farmer until he received an inheritance from his uncle. After undergoing a religious conversion during the same decade, Cromwell made an independent style of puritanism an essential part of his life. As a ruler he executed an aggressive and effective foreign policy and did as much as any English leader to shape the future of the land he governed. But his Commonwealth collapsed after his death and the royal family was restored in 1660. An intensely religious man-a self-styled Puritan Moses-he fervently believed God was guiding his victories. He was never identified with any one sect or position, however, and strongly favoured religious tolerance for all the various Protestant groups.
He was elected Member of Parliament for Cambridge in the Short(1640) and Long (1640-1649) Parliaments. He entered the English Civil War on the side of the "Roundheads" or Parliamentarians and became a key military leader. Nicknamed "Old Ironsides", he was quickly promoted from leading a single cavalry troop to command of the entire army. In 1649 he was one of the signatories of Charles I's death warrant and was a member of the Rump Parliament (1649-1653), which selected him to take command of the English campaign in Ireland during 1649-1650. He led a campaign against the Scottish army between 1650 and 1651. On 20 April 1653 he dismissed the Rump Parliament by force, setting up a short-lived nominated assembly known as the Barebones Parliament, before being made Lord Protector of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland on 16 December 1653. He was buried in Westminster Abbey. After the Royalists returned to power, they had his corpse dug up, hung in chains, and beheaded.
奧利弗·克倫威爾是英國政治家、軍事家、宗教領(lǐng)袖。17世紀(jì)英國資產(chǎn)階級革命中,資產(chǎn)階級――新貴族集團(tuán)的代表人物、獨(dú)立派的首領(lǐng)。
我們應(yīng)該怎樣估價(jià)克倫威爾對歷史的總的影響呢?當(dāng)然他的重要作用就在于他是一位杰出的軍事將領(lǐng),在英國內(nèi)戰(zhàn)中打敗了?;庶h軍隊(duì)。其實(shí)在克倫威爾初露鋒芒之前的戰(zhàn)爭的初期,議會(huì)軍在一定程度上遭到了失敗,看來要是沒有他,這支軍隊(duì)完全有可能不會(huì)取得最后的勝利。克倫威爾勝利的結(jié)果使民主政體在英國得到了持續(xù)和鞏固。人們不應(yīng)該把這看做是無論如何都會(huì)發(fā)生的事件。在17世紀(jì),歐洲大部地區(qū)都正在朝著更強(qiáng)大的君主專制主義的方向發(fā)展;民主政體在英國的勝利是逆總的歷史趨勢而出現(xiàn)的事件,在隨后的年月里,英國民主政體的榜樣對法國啟蒙運(yùn)動(dòng)、法國革命和最終在西歐建立民主政體都是一個(gè)重要因素。還有顯而易見的是,民主勢力在英國的勝利對于在美國以及英國先前的殖民地如加拿大和澳大利亞建立民主政體都起到至關(guān)重要的作用。雖然英國在世界上只是個(gè)彈丸之地,但是民主政體卻從英國涌向世界的其他某些范圍不小的地區(qū)。
