The restoration of a Protestant monarch was a goal of the Glorious Revolution.

Extra: The Glorious Revolution, also known as the Revolution of 1688 or the Bloodless Revolution, took place in England. It involved the overthrow of the Catholic monarch James II and the ascension of his Protestant daughter Mary and her Dutch husband, William of Orange, to the throne. This was done to ensure a Protestant lineage in the continuation of English monarchy as opposed to a Catholic one, which was a source of political and religious tension at the time.

In contrast, the French Revolution, which occurred in 1789, was not concerned with the restoration of a Protestant ruler. It focused on overthrowing the Bourbon monarchy, addressing the issues of equality, liberty, and fraternity, and re-establishing the political structure in France to remove the absolute power of the king.

The American Revolution, which took place from 1775 to 1783, was aimed at gaining independence from British colonial rule and did not focus on religious aspects concerning the leadership, but rather on self-governance and freedom from British rule.
