Cromwell's Roundhead army was officially known as the New Model Army. Formed in 1645 during the English Civil War, it was a disciplined and well-organized force that played a crucial role in the defeat of the Royalists. The term "Roundhead" referred to the Parliamentarians, who were characterized by their shorter haircuts, contrasting with the long-haired Royalists. The New Model Army became a key instrument in advancing Cromwell's military and political objectives.
