whats the history of oliver cromewell, what did he do to the irish that we are supposed to hate him so much?

Question

i dont know enough about him

Answer 1

Ireland was regarded as conquered territory, and was parceled out among Cromwell's soldiers and creditors, and only those Irish landowners able to prove their constant support of the Parliamentary cause escaped having their estates confiscated. Those who were Roman Catholics were obliged to leave their homes and move north of the River Shannon to Connaught. Catholics and Anglicans were forbidden to practice their religion.

Answer 2

When Cromwell became Lord Protector of England, he inhereted a rebellion in Ireland that started during the reign of Charles I. Cromwell invaded Ireland and put down the rebellion by force, killing many thousands (some say hundreds of thousands) of people, including many civilians. So basically the Irish were mad at being taken over by the English, and doubly mad at Cromwell's brutality.

Answer 3

If you don't know a lot about him, now is the time to find out. You can find several biographies of Cromwell in the library. Get one and read it. Good luck.
