| | Commonwealth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Commonwealth of England was the official name of the political unit (de facto military rule in the name of parliamentary supremacy) that replaced the kingdoms of Scotland and England (after the English Civil War) under the rule of Oliver Cromwell and his son and successor Richard from 1649 to 1660. | | | Thus commonwealth originally meant a state governed for the common good (as opposed to a tyrannical state). | | | She also reigns as monarch directly in a number of states, known as Commonwealth Realms, notably the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and others. |
