Wars of the Three Kingdoms

Who is Thomas Hobbes? He was very affected by Wars of the Three Kingdoms (sometimes known as the Wars of the Three Nations) between 1639 and 1651. His work, Leviahan, was written in 1651. After he experienced the wars, he thought over how the nation could stay carm and wrote his idea about it on the book.

"Three" in three kingdoms means Scotland, Ireland and England. The best known of these conflicts is the English Civil wars. The English Civil War was a really profound political event in seventeenth century Europe. During this period, the Stuart kingdoms of Scotland, England and Ireland, and the Principality of Wales were ripped apart by religious and political unrest. It was also part of a wider struggle between Catholics and Protestants in Europe. Oliver Cromwell, by the way, played a key role in the war.
