How the English Civil War reshaped a nation through internal conflict and division
In short: This documentary explores the deep-seated bitterness of the English Civil War, a period defined by fractured families and the collapse of relations between Parliament and the King. It examines the key figures who steered this transformative era, which ultimately laid the foundations for modern Britain.
