You have an assignment to shoehorn the reasons for the English Civil war into several ill-fitting categories?

I have no idea why the geography of England would cause two factions to harm one another unless the Earth itself started taking sides.

Not least because it wasn't really between two different geographical areas?  Was there some battle whose outcome was decided by the weather or something?

I think he means ethnogeograpic causes, like the greifs of the diffrent ethnic groups that coem from diffrent parts of england. Well the englsih were pissed there was a catholic on the throne, if I rember correctly, and the Irish were pissed because they were being generally mistreated. So what happened was the enlgish rebeled than the irish were like, "man this this our chance lets rebel", meanwhile the scots were like "damn we lost the king, time to kill some english to make sure he stays in power 'cause we like him".

The cold shitty north wanted some of that nice Southern land? And the south objected to being abused like that?

That wasn't "the" English Civil War, rather "the War of the Roses".  This one came rather later.

With google and wikipedia at your finger tips, why are you asking in a gaming forum?

Because copy and pasting from Wikipedia will set off anti-plagiarism programs. If someone summarizes it here and it's copy and pasted the wording will be different enough to avoid that.

Of course, if one bothers to read the Wikipedia article for themselves, they can come up with a rephrased paper with the information structured however they want. If they have to cite sources and they don't have any/their sources are taken straight from the Wikipedia credits and sources, that's a tad obvious, though. Probably the simplest route would be to read a few academic articles/textbook chapters on the topic, skim Wikipedia for other common-knowledge facts. That'll give you a decent set of sources and should provide enough information for a decent enough paper. Sadly, I have more than enough sifting for sources for my own papers to procrastinate about, so~
