Question

what did parliament do soon after the death of oliver cromwell? parliament went to war with scotland. parliament restored the monarchy. parliament banned the monarchy forever. parliament imposed the protectorate.

Explanation:

After Oliver Cromwell's death in 1658, his son Richard Cromwell became Lord Protector but quickly lost support. The resulting political instability led Parliament to invite Charles II, the exiled heir to the English throne, back to England, formally restoring the monarchy in 1660. The other options are incorrect: the Protectorate was established by Cromwell before his death, Parliament did not ban the monarchy permanently, and war with Scotland was not the immediate action post-Cromwell's death.

Answer:

Parliament restored the monarchy.
