was britain politically unstable between 1500 and 1800 due to all:?

Question

the wars and disagreements between coutntires and the subsequent wars
in fighting and execustions in the royal family

Answer 1

I agree with the answer which says you talk about an awfully long time - three centuries. In fact, however, England (Great Britain not coming into existence until 1707) was fairly stable. The execution by Henry VIII of two of his wives was really a matter that affected the royal family, not the great mass of the populace. There was one other execution, that of Charles I, but the country rapidly recovered from that at the Restoration of the monarchy. The so called 'Glorious Revolution' of 1688 which set the country on its modern course was accomplished relatively bloodlessly. I am not sure what you mean by 'in fighting between countries and the subsequent wars' The only war was the Civil War of the 17th century. There were minor matters like the Monmouth and Jacobite Rebellions, but overall they were little more than pinpricks.

Answer 2

Three hundred years is an awful long time to expect a country to have total stability so, not unexpectedly there were times when it was quite unstable (the Dissolution, the Civil War, the Glorious Revolution).

There was only one regicide in that period, that of Charles I, and many of the wars actually helped to stabilise the country (I'm thinking of the defeat of the Spanish Armada and the War of the Spanish Succession in particular).

Difficult to get into too much detail about such a long period of history.

Answer 3

It was not politically unstable over this period, instead the formation of a massive empire and a lasting constitution along with many other things (industrial revolutions etc) were made possible by these wars and executions.
