By the late 1650's the english people had had enough of cromwell's military dictatorship. many people wanted to restore the monarchy to england. describe three major events of the restoration

The Restoration, which extended from 1660 to 1668, took place during the Stuart period and was preceded by Cromwell's Interregnum, which gave England various forms of republican government.

Three major events took place during the Restoration. One of them was the issuing of the Declaration of Breda in 1660. This declaration offered pardon to every person that had fought against Charles II and it also stated that the King would rely on the assistance and advice of the Parliament, especially when it came to taxation issues. Furthermore, the Declaration of Breda specified that no man should be prosecuted for differences in religion. However, the passing of the Clarendon Code (1661-1665), another major event during the Restoration period, went against what the Declaration of Breda had stated previously. The Clarendon Code, which was made up of four acts, was a way of prosecuting puritans. The main aim of these statutes was to prevent puritans from coming into government again. The monarch was pressured into accepting the Code. Moreover, another major event was the first general election fought on party lines in 1679. This election meant the emergence of two political parties: the Whigs, which were liberals, and the Tories, which were conservatives. While the Whigs were supporters of change and the constitutional monarchy, the Tories were supporters of the Crown and royal absolutism. The Whigs ended up winning the elections, which led to a Whig majority in Parliament.

the years following the end of world war i were a period of deep social tensions, aggrevated by high wartime inflation. food prices more than doubled between 1915 and 1920; clothing costs more than tripled. a steel strike that began in chicago in 1919 became much more than a simple dispute between labor and management. the steel strike of 1919 became the focal point for profound social anxieties, especially fears of bolshevism.

organized labor had grown in strength during the course of the war. many unions won recognition and the 12-hour workday was abolished. an 8-hour days was instituted on war contract work and by 1919, half the country's workers had a 48-hour work week.

the war's end, however, was accompanied by labor turmoil, as labor demanded union recognition, shorter hours, and raises exceeding the inflation rate. over 4 million workers--one fifth of the nation's workforce--participated in strikes in 1919, including 365,000 steelworkers and 400,000 miners. the number of striking workers would not be matched until the depression year of 1937.

the year began with a general strike in seattle. police offers in boston went on strike, touching off several days of rioting and crime. but the most tumultuous strike took place in the steel industry. then some 350,000 steelworkers in 24 separate craft union went on strike as part of a drive by the american federation of labor to unionize the industry. from management's perspective, the steel strike represented the handiwork of radicals and professional labor agitators. the steel industry's leaders regarded the strike as a radical conspiracy to get the company to pay a 12-hour wage for eight hours' work. at a time when communists were seizing power in hungary and were staging a revolt in germany, and workers in italy were seizing factories, some industrialists feared that the steel strike was the first step toward overturning the industrial system.

the strike ended with the complete defeat of the unions. from labor's perspective, the corporations had triumphed through espionage, blacklists, and the denial of freedom of speech and assembly and through the complete unwillingness to recognize the right of collective bargaining with the workers' representatives.

during the 1920s, many of labor's gains during world war i and the progressive era were rolled back. membership in labor unions fell from 5 million to 3 million. the us supreme court outlawed picketing, overturned national child labor laws, and abolished minimum wage laws for women.
