The reigns of the Stuart monarchy led to the shift from absolutism to constitutionalism during 17th century England. After witnessing the success of Louis XIV's of
Hopelessness of the Irish in Nineteenth Century England Throughout my research into the subject of the Irish in England's industrial north during the early nineteenth century, one fact became quite clear; contemporary writers' treatment of the Irish was both minimal and negative. I consulted many sources, Friedrich Engels, Leon Faucher, James Kay-Shuttleworth to name but a few and the reoccurring theme as pertaining to the Irish in all these works was mainly consistent; the Irish were a lazy
During the late 14th and 15th century, England underwent internal conflicts that would eventually result into ongoing conflicts in the future generations. England’s stability was subverted by religious conflicts as well.

England in the 17th Century was in a constant state of dispute between the forces of the Stuart monarchs and Parliament. Disagreeing on almost everything, compromise proved not to be an option as the country was driven into Civil War from 1642-1649. The war between the Stuart dynasty and Parliament was what ultimately determined the breakdown of royal absolutism in England between 1603-1689.

The 16th and 17th centuries in England are marked by the great societal changes that emerged from the effects the Renaissance and Reformation had on ideas concerning religion, education and social order.
