How might cromwell’s rule be viewed differently by the irish and the english?

In Ireland, as I’m sure Irish Quorans will let you know, Cromwell was a figure of pure infamy who slaughtered Irish civilians.

In England, he is a mixed-reputation feller. He has a statue outside the Houses of Parliament. He was a big factor in establishing England and its successors as constitutional monarchies held to account by Parliament.

He wasn’t pro-democracy, however, and soon eliminated factions such as the Levellers who were agitating for a more democratic system. Ultimately, he was a fundamentalist dictator who enforced Puritanism on a religiously diverse people, banning Christmas, football and smoking. England, Scotland and Ireland were a republic in name only, as being Lord Protector he was essentially an autocrat. Then he appointed his son as his successor.

He’s the reason today that the United Kingdom is still the United Kingdom and not the United Republic.
