One period? Ask the Irish about that. They may differ.
I'm English, and the one time (for over 1000 years) that my country (England) has suffered oppression was the period between the murder of King Charles I (30th January, 1649) and the Restoration of King Charles II (29th May, 1660).
In fact one of the oppressive acts undertaken by that tyranny was the prohibition on Christmas; people were arrested for eating plum-pudding. Watch out America, you have no Monarchy to defend your freedom.

Neither do you.
The British monarchy is powerless. It is used as a symbol only. If parliament wanted to change to a Presidency tomorrow they could.
You have a King or Queen in name only. You will never have another King Henry or Queen Elizabeth with any real power.
Cut the monarchy worship.
Stand up for yourself and your freedom and don't have a "monarch" do it for you.

You forced Irish peasants to give up their food to England while they were starving. A lot of them died so your ancestors could remain fat and happy. What a jackass!
