	Talk:Glorious Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Readers of this article need to be aware that the term "Glorious Revolution" is a Whig term used by the Whig school of history.
		For example, this "napoleontic invasion of England" isn't mentioned at all ([1]) however, the events in the glorious revolution are mentioned, ([2]) as a Dutch invasion of England.Apart from that, we're talking about a succesful invasion, I doubt Napoleons invasion (if it exists in the first place) was succesful.
		Many Dutch historians regard the Glorious revolution as the end of the Anglo-Dutch wars, in which (with much help of an array of problems in England) the Dutch stadholder was able, with and army and the help of "traitors/true patriots" in England to invade and take control of England.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: English Revolution of 1688
		The history of the Revolution resolves itself into a catalogue of various ill-judged measures which alienated the support of the Established Church, the Tory party, and the nation as a whole.
		So far as the English Catholics were concerned, the result of the Revolution was that their restoration to freedom of worship and liberation from the penal laws was delayed for a century and more.
		But on the other hand we can now realize that the Revolution had the advantage of finally closing the long struggle between king and Parliament that had lasted for nearly a century, and of establishing general principles of religious toleration in which Catholics were bound sooner or later to be included.

	Glorious Revolution - Education - Information - Educational Resources - Encyclopedia - Music
		The Glorious Revolution (1688-1689) is an event in which the Stuart king James II (James VII of Scotland) was removed from his thrones of England, Scotland and Ireland, and replaced by William of the House of Orange and his wife and joint sovereign Mary.
		It is sometimes referred to as the "Bloodless Revolution" which is largely true of William's sucession to the English throne, although his struggle to gain the Scottish and Irish thrones was far from bloodless.
		Although their sucession to the English throne was relatively peaceful an uprising occurred in support of James in Scotland, the first Jacobite rebellion, and in Ireland where James used local Catholic feeling to try to regain the throne in 1689–1690.

	The Social Affairs Unit - Web Review: Making a world safe for Whigs - Revisiting the Glorious Revolution: Patrick ...
		The "Glorious Revolution" of 1688-9 used to be a key episode in public memory, but that stage is long past, in part as a result of the foreshortening of public history so that it focuses on the last century.
		Vallance suggests that the outcomes of the revolutions in Scotland and Ireland revealed the extent to which these kingdoms were only a minor concern to William and that they mainly impinged on his consciousness as areas of civil unrest that could weaken him in his struggle with Louis XIV.
		From a different perspective, albeit with the delays consequent upon the disruption of the Glorious Revolution, Britain, from the 1680s, took place in the more general movement towards a reconciliation between Crowns and elite that was so characteristic of Europe in the late-seventeenth century.

		Aphra Behn's Oroonoko (1688), for example, casts the naturally discerning aristocrat as a "noble slave."

		It was this that was shaken fundamentally by the Glorious Revolution of 1688-89.
		Thus in contrast to England the economy was retarded by the Revolution, and one of the consequences of this was the difficulty of organising France on a military basis to meet the crises of 1870, 1914 and 1939.

		The English, for their part, did not see the connection between their revolution and the American reassertion of power over their affairs; most, in fact, were appalled by the 1689 revolutions.

		That restructuring moves toward the eighteenth century to recast the so-called 'Glorious Revolution' of 1688 (in England) and 1689 (in America) as a military coup and the beginning of a hundred years of war for American empire....
		One of Webb's purposes is to restore the military campaign that facilitated the revolution to a place of prominence in the historiography of the period.
		The glory of the years 1688 and 1689, therefore, resided in their moderation, the return without bloodshed to England's ancient constitution.
