Don't think he is celebrated but more recognised for his historic importance.
Nicholas Perez

>Don't think he is celebrated but more recognised for his historic importance.
he made the "100 Greatest Britons" list by a popular poll
Anthony Ortiz
Those polls normaly are complete garbage
Julian Gomez
Forgot to that but,important doesnt always mean positive
Jacob Brown
Ok? He is one of the greatest brits, that is objective. He shaped the history of the British isles massively. Doesn't mean people look up to all that he did.
John Barnes
>after he died the English dug up his body hung it, chucked it into a pit and then stuck his head on a pike
I guess the English really do love Cromwell...
Austin Flores

"Great" doesn't mean "most influential", it has a positive connotation.

I think he's only badly regarded in Ireland. Maybe Scotland too I'm not sure.
Julian Flores
>as He lectures the uses of a English word to a native speaker while he himself is not
Greatness can often simply mean important or grand or both, it's why the term 'great and terrible' is used, no positive connotation there
Nolan Perez
>Cromwell
>Hitler

England could have kept the King out of England if he didn't kill and prison all the reformists
Thomas Stewart

Hitler was great and will be recognised as such in the future
Julian Carter
Cromwell was the greatest man who ever lived.
Most Brits don't know anything about him, he's either taught disparagingly or not taught at all here.
Matthew Murphy
Cromwell destroyed the power of the monarchy and established the world's first bourgeois republic over a century before France's revolution.
He's undoubtedly one of the greatest and most important figures in British history.
Colton Bailey
Bono was on that list as well and he isn't British lol
Isaiah Miller
tfw we could've become an american style republic all the way back in the 1600s if not for cromwell
most people are unaware that he was a religious fanatic and hypocritical tyrant
Tyler Foster
>religious fanatic and hypocritical tyrant
Why? Seriously asking, don't know much about him.
