Cromwell and the Irish
Cromwell's troops slaughtered Irish civilians during the battles at Drogheda and Wexford.Doyle clan: Cromwell Devastates Ireland It is believed that he sanctioned the slaughter in return for Catholic actions against Protestants in 1641.Google Books: The StuartsCromwell and the Jews
King Edward I had expelled the Jews from England in 1290. In 1656, Cromwell authorized Jews to live in England, to own land and to worship publicly. He is said to have permitted the readmission of Jews to England because he believed that the Second Coming could not take place until Jews populated all parts of the world.Cambridgeshire City Council: The Jews of Medieval HuntingdonQuotes
"Not only strike while the iron is hot, but make it hot by striking."—Oliver CromwellAlbutrus: Oliver Cromwell"...upon all of these Cromwell's record was a lasting bane. By an uncompleted process of terror, by an iniquitous land settlement, by the virtual proscription of the Catholic religion, by the bloody deeds already described, he cut new gulfs between the nations and the creeds. 'Hell or Connaught' were the terms he thrust upon the native inhabitants, and they for their part, across three hundred years, have used as their keenest expression of hatred 'The Curse of Cromwell on you.' ... Upon all of us there still lies 'the curse of Cromwell'".—Winston ChurchillBalroc: To Hell or Coleraine!
