How Are Oliver Cromwell and Maximilien Robspierre Similar?

Answer by Tom
They modernised their countries, bringing them out of Medieval absolute monarchies, and into a humane future, with no more church domination, and no more slow painful executions. Cromwell’s England reverted back to this after his death, however, while Robespierre’s fellow Revolutionaries succeeded, apart from a few years when two kings were brought back into power.
