I mean I get he believed in the divine right of kings and whatnot, but they weren't even asking a lot of him initially.

>actually believing the parliamentarians were in the right

Are you a psychopath? Charles I had principles and he stuck with them, that's more than you can say for most people.

parliamentarians = dicks

Materialist cucks will never just understand certain things.

It's pretty easy to stick by your """""principles""""" if they are just that you should have absolute power and everyone should treat you like a god and basically fuck everyone else.

Dude really lost his head.

>>Right up until his trial, parliament is mostly hoping he'll give in.
you forgot to add the real hilarious part
>escapes to try to war again
>gets captured again
>parliament still willing to give him a chance
>soldiers and army commanders in the army start to get extremely pissed at charles for his betrayal. plus they're fired up by the republican ideas of the levellers
>Cromwell himself also felt extremely bitter about the escape, and he along with his commanders start to see punishment as a divine retribution for their soldier's hardships and suffering
>parliament won't try and execute the king in full session
>intimidate all mps who want amnesty for charles, use street agitation of radicals and discontented people to further get your way
>a lot of people don't show up for parliament, but those who do attend vote to try and execute the king
and meanwhile, charles probably could have made a great show of repentance and still have gotten off scot-free. he was literally so idiotic and undiplomatic that he basically signed his own death warrant.

and a few more greentexts to bring home the point
>army forcibly excludes its opponents in the long parliament in order to kill the king
>remaining mps who do vote for charle's death loath the army's use of force (england has a big tradition against professional armies and militarism) and the execution makes them isolated and scared
>the military wants to replace the parliament with a totally new one that is more representative and in tune with popular sovereignty
>mps argue that parliament needs to be maintained so that they could reform the system from within and bring popular sovereignty about
>don't follow through
>what's more, all of the mps that were "purged" by the army in order to kill the king return to parliament without any fuss so no radical measures passes get passed and to bring back order and stability after the civil war
>this is the state of affairs for the next 10 years of the english commonwealth
basically charles' death was absolutely avoidable. if was a revolution in the literal sense because his execution brought the army back exactly where it started.

He must have been a dead-head.

King Charles took a Coronation Oath and should have remembered his duty to his people instead of leading his three kingdoms into civil war

How autistic can you get

Empress dowager Cixi, she destroyed any hope China had of holding itself together by being a retarded reactionary and forcing the emperor to end the 100 days reform movement.

>Guangxu Emperor
ftfy :^)

Hitler refusing his top military strategists' advice and making outrageous demands for wunderwaffen instead of developing and mass producing effective weapons

but had hitler listened to his generals wouldn't france have survived? seems like a paradox to me

he definitely has a share of the blame for not telling her to go fuck herself, but she had effectively organized a coup against him and put him under house arrest

pretty ironic that she was in such a position of power and a reactionary to boot since Confucianism is so clear about women never being in positions of leadership

>stuff you learned on reddit

back you go

Why do all Anglos look so fucking inbred? Even that even slick 17th century fashion can't improve that retarded mutant face.

>stop wasting resources on wunderwaffen and instead stick to the basics
>manage to survive long enough to get nuked
gj hitler

The stuarts were scottish

Anglos are simply more evolved than the rest of humanity. They're like a lower form of Bogdanoff.

can you all please just stop posting on Veeky Forums?

t. Rothschild

"wunderwaffen" alone aren't bad, but micro managing or pacing personal input on the several projects was too much.

He kept wanting bigger and more impossible tanks like the Maus but wouldn't approve the stg-43...hell, the gun was labeled the mp-43 during development so Hitler wouldnt go autistic because he loved machinepistolen...

but no yea, lets not keep working on nuclear weapons, lets draw up plans for a space bomber to retributively attack NY...Or make a giant underground cannon to throw shells at London here an there.

Maybe instead of developing all those new tanks like tiger ii, just fix and produce meaningful numbers of panthers

I dont use reddshit

>dismisses stg-43 as useless, weapon devs continue under "mp-43" because fuhrer has a boner for machinepistolen
>without approval of staff, Hitler launches and funds development of Maus in '43...even with 250mm of armor, it couldnt stop shaped charges in use at the time.

developing a nuke or the v2 is one thing, but a space bomber or giant underground cannon??
