Late 17th and early 18th century England was a time of turmoil and confusion due to constant change of power and warfare. The overthrow of Catholic James III by William III in Glorious Revolution in 1887 marked the restoration of Protestant rule in England.
While the Glorious Revolution was known for its lack of bloodshed, it ultimately started the Williamite War and Irish Rebellion of 1688. The outcome of the Williamite revolution in Ireland was the destruction of the Irish Catholic interest as a political force (Hayton 31).
Immediately after Williamite War, William III begin quasi war with France who’s was on a friendly term with James II. Unable to cope with financial cost of war and unmanageable parliament, William III dissolve the parliament
