>gassing the taigs
okay, under other circumstances I would have plenty to say about this but I don't have time for it now, so moving on:

>what did he do?
Cromwell is one of the single most important historical figures in all of human history. He was responsible for a seismic shift in the European political landscape. If the Parliamentarian side had lost during the civil war then the growing trend of monarchical autocracy in Europe would have been cemented. There very likely wouldn't have been an Enlightenment, nor an American revolution, nor a French revolution. And from there you can say with a reasonable degree of certainty that democracy would be a tiny minority in governmental systems today.

It really can't be overstated what a shocking thing it was for an elected Parliament to rebel against and execute a king, and institute a republican system of government. When Cromwell won, he upended history. That's the best way I can think to put it. What he did was completely unprecedented, and world history has been irrevocably altered by it in a way that even the likes of Napoleon couldn't claim to have done.

I know he didn't really systematically exterminate the Irish but he legitimately did adopt "to hell or to Connaught" policies vis-a-vis plantations.

I don't feel what he did was something that wouldn't have happened without him. Parliament already had extensive rights and were gaining more decade by decade, furthermore continental Europe wasn't the dystopian absolutist bloc you describe, France remained extremely decentrilised right up until the early 18th century, with the "royal domain" consisting of less than half the country. Places like Poland were essentially run by nobles rather than the king and several republics did exist in places like the Netherlands and northern Germany.

>he legitimately did adopt "to hell or to Connaught" policies vis-a-vis plantations.
he put down a rebellion and went home to deal with far more pressing domestic problems. That's pretty much the extent of Cromwell's actions in Ireland. The idea that he waged some sort of campaign of ethnic cleansing is revisionist history of the worst kind.

>Parliament already had extensive rights and were gaining more decade by decade
That isn't really true. Throughout the 16th century parliament was little more than a rubber stamp for English monarchs. A bare minimum of courtly diplomacy was all that was needed to get their way. James I was a little more reliant on their good graces, since he was in many ways a foreigner, but he still rarely had to give in to them on anything. Charles I managed to piss Parliament off through his lack of diplomacy to the point where they actually started challenging him, but their exercise of power was limited to certain financial matters.

And if Parliament had lost the Civil War to Charles, he almost certainly would have restricted their powers to almost nothing, if not abolished them altogether.

>furthermore continental Europe wasn't the dystopian absolutist bloc you describe
I didn't really describe it as an absolutist bloc, but still it was heading very clearly in an absolutist direction. The Netherlands and the free cities of Germany were minor players, and Poland's experiment with representative government lasted until the late 18th century, and as we can see went absolutely nowhere (no pun intended).

France might still have been very divided culturally and linguistically, but politically more and more power was concentrated in the hands of the monarch over the course of the 17th century. The middle ages were definitively over and feudalism was out - Louis XIV was just the culmination of a trend that had been progressing for decades. The same can be said elsewhere on the continent, in Spain, Austria, Prussia and Russia.

Guess the country (it's pretty easy)

If Australia, why 1955? The only semi-important thing I can think of in that year is Korea. Do you mean 1975 and Gough's dismissal?

Constant wars with the Chinese dynasties for few thousand years, battled the French during imperialism era, became a commie and sucker punched America.
