The Second English Civil War was the result of George I's attempt to militarily expand more. In real life, George I couldn't expand due to the parliament. In our Alternate Universe, however, George I decided to declare war on the Parliament, or rather, defy the Parliamentary power.
By doing this, much like what occurred during the First English Civil War, the parliament gathered an army in an attempt to overthrow his power. Under Command of Robert Walpole, the first few battles were victories, until the Georgian Army managed to flank the parliamentary armies at the Second Battle of Hastings.
After a long harsh battle at, ironically, a battlefield which had been bruised by a historical impactful battle, George I managed to defeat the Parliamentarian Armies and win the war. Afterward, George used his newly found authority to round up all Parliamentarian high ranks and executing them one by one to set an example of anyone who dared to oppose his armies. Although a couple of high ranks were not accounted for, with most accounts varying about the remains of the two unaccounted for.
The highly active movement of Enlightenment was now stunted, as George I did anything and everything to stop those who wished they had a voice from having a voice. The Dark Age of England has now begun.
