  Glorious Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James II During his three year reign, King James II fell victim to the political battles in the British Isles between Catholicism and Protestantism on the one hand, and on the other, between the divine right of the Crown and the political rights of Parliament.
In 1688, a further conspiracy, based at Whittington Moor, Derbyshire (see the Immortal Seven) was launched to depose James and replace him with his daughter Mary and her husband, William of Orange — both Protestants and both grandchildren of Charles I of England.
The events of 1688 and their aftermath can thus be seen as much more of a coup d'état, achieved by (largely Dutch) force of arms than an authentic revolution.

They take the form of shared beliefs and clashing cultures, but also, in a more personified way, these connections are embodied in travellers, explorers and minorities who look at the places they find themselves in from a perspective that is different from that of its native inhabitants.
In his brilliant, thought-provoking 1688, Wills turns that notion on its side by concentrating on what was happening worldwide in one particular year.
Along with relatively familiar European occurrences, 1688 saw the Chinese emperor mourning a Flemish Jesuit astronomer, the great African trading crossroads of Timbuktu in decline and a French fleet failing to cow Algiers.
