Answer:

Restoration, return of Monarchy with Charles 2 as a King.

Step-by-step explanation:

The period from 1660-1798 is considered the Restoration Period for Britain. On 25th May 1660, Charles II was restored as a king of England. The return of Stuart Monarchy marked the beginning of the Restoration Period for England, Scotland, and Ireland.

The Restoration era was preceded by the Interregnum period, in which England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales all together were ruled by the Republican government.

Oliver Cromwell defeated Charles 1, in 1649 and eventual beheading of him on 30th January 1649. The empires then came under the Puritanism rule.

On May 25, 1660, Charles 2 was restored to the ruler-ship of England, Scotland and Ireland again, which marked the beginning of the Restoration period from 1660-1798.
