### Abstract:
This exam paper explores the English Revolution (1625–1660), emphasizing the origins of the English Civil War (1625–1642). Section A analyzes the impact of the Irish Rebellion (1641–1642) through source evaluation, focusing on Protestant suffering, political tensions, and Charles I’s perceived role. Section B addresses key thematic debates: the influence of Buckingham on Crown-Parliament conflict (1625–1628) and opposition to Charles I’s religious policies (1633–1640). The questions assess political, religious, and social dynamics that escalated tensions between monarchy, Parliament, and external actors during this transformative period.
