Detailed explanation-1: -What caused the Glorious Revolution? The Glorious Revolution (1688–89) in England stemmed from religious and political conflicts. King James II was Catholic. His religion, and his actions rooted in it, put him at odds with the non-Catholic population and others.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Glorious Revolution was when William of Orange took the English throne from James II in 1688. The event brought a permanent realignment of power within the English constitution.
Detailed explanation-3: -The king’s elevation of Catholicism, his close relationship with France, his conflict with Parliament and uncertainty over who would succeed James on the English throne led to whispers of a revolt-and ultimately the fall of James II.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Glorious Revolution had its beginnings with the English Civil War and execution of Charles I, but it officially started with King James II’s reign in 1685. It ended with William of Orange’s successful invasion and James’s abdication of the throne in 1688.
