Oliver Cromwell was an English military and political leader who rose to become Lord Protector. Deeply religious, he saw himself as guided by God and became a pivotal commander in the New Model Army during the English Civil War. His leadership defined the short-lived Commonwealth, marked by significant military campaigns in Ireland and Scotland. Cromwell remains a controversial figure, viewed variously as a dictator or a champion of liberty, with his actions, particularly in Ireland, subject to harsh criticism.
