    The Restoration involved the end of the Commonwealth introduced by the Parliamentary party and Oliver Cromwell after the Civil War, and the reversion to monarchy under Charles II. The Glorious Revolution of 1688 was instrumental in deposing his brother and successor, James II, for his incipient Catholicism and his covert dealings with France. William of Orange was invited to take the English throne on the grounds of his marriage to Jame's daughter Mary.

    So both were examples of 'regime change'. But the first involved a change of the system of governance (from republic to monarchy) and the second was a change of ruler within a monarchical system. However, the Glorious Revolution marked the threshold of change towards a true constitutional monarchy.
