Introduction

> The Glorious Revolution, also called “The Revolution of 1688” and “The Bloodless Revolution,” took place from 1688 to 1689 in England. > It involved the overthrow of the Catholic king James II, who was replaced by his Protestant daughter Mary and her Dutch husband, William of Orange. Motives for the revolution were complex and included both political and religious concerns. > The event ultimately changed how England was governed, giving the Parliament more power over the monarchy and planting seeds for the beginnings of a political democracy.
