Republic: When the UK Brought Down Its Kings | Intermediate English Listening Practice
Description
Learn English through one of the most interesting stories in British history: in 1649, Britain killed its own king. The monarchy was gone. Oliver Cromwell took power - and the country became a Republic. The British Revolution!
For eleven (quite dull) years, England lived without a crown: no kings, no queens, just strict rules and fading hope for democracy. Find out how the British Republic began, why it failed, and what it taught the monarchy that followed.
Perfect for intermediate English learners who love British culture, real history, and powerful storytelling.
