In order to increase the power of the commercial classes, the England's Glorious Revolution created the necessary climate.

James II was replaced as the reigning king, together with the joint monarchy of his protestant daughter Mary and her Dutch husband, William of Orange in the event called The Glorious Revolution of 1688-1689.

The establishment of the parliament’s supremacy over the crown, guidance of Britain on the path for constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy are some of the effects of the bloodless revolution and revolution settlement, based from the Whig account.

In Ireland and Scotland, the revolution was secured by force and with much loss of life, even though the bloodshed in England was limited.

the berlin blockade was an international crisis that arose from an attempt by the soviet union, in 1948–49, to force the western allied powers (the united states, the united kingdom, and france) to abandon their post-world war ii jurisdictions in west berlin. in march 1948 the allied powers decided to unite their different occupation zones of germany into a single economic unit. in protest, the soviet representative withdrew from the allied control council. coincident with the introduction of a new deutsche mark in west berlin (as throughout west germany), which the soviets regarded as a violation of agreements with the allies, the soviet occupation forces in eastern germany began a blockade of all rail, road, and water communications between berlin and the west. on june 24 the soviets announced that the four-power administration of berlin had ceased and that the allies no longer had any rights there.
