	Oliver Cromwell
		Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658) remains something of an enigma.
		Though totally lacking in previous military experience, he created and led a superb force of cavalry, the Ironsides, and rose from the rank of captain to that of lieutenant-general in three years, displaying, at the same time, a paradoxical mixture of religious sincerity and astute political opportunism.
		The Commonwealth proper, however, ended with the establishment of Cromwell's Protectorate (1653-58), which was characterized by religious toleration, profitable commercial treaties with several foreign powers, and several sucesful wars.
