What Was so glorious about the glorious revoltuion in 1688?

In: American Revolution, European History [Edit categories]

Answer:

During most revolutions a lot of blood is spilled but in this one the term 'Glorious' is meaning that this revolution was bloodless.

King William 111, Prince of Orange who lived from 1688 - 1704 was the main cause to the glorious part of this revolution, His triumph over James 11 was bloodless.

1.When William invaded England all of James 11's forces deserted him leaving him cowardly, which led to him deserting England forever.

2.William tried not to make the revolution bloody and succeeded easyly because of James's Flee. He was left nothing and went to live with his mommy.
