Great Britain is a tiny island 👑

in GEMS3 years ago

Great Britain is a tiny island by the standards of
the planet, but it is he who, by a
strange coincidence, always finds himself in the
center of events,
so the history of Britain is an incredibly
interesting and useful thing for the horizon,
because knowing it, you can understand why Rome fell
because of what the era of colonies began and how
the USA was born. our
journey will start somewhere in 900 1000
dna studies
show that even so long ago
representatives of the genus homo a walked around
Britain it's funny that
human footprints found in English
hey collections are considered the oldest in the whole
Europe, although from time to time people out
went out for ice ages
turned their territory into the tundra
the island of Britain had neither
connected to the mainland by a kind of
the bridge to which scientists call girl
and the entire history of Britain in the Paleolithic
and looked at warming people even
Neanderthals went there to live and
glacial periods and went to the South
it is believed that settled
our ancestors in Britain about 12 thousand
years ago at the end of the last glacial
maximum, it was followed by a warm
Holocene and the first permanent ones appeared
settlements it is believed that representatives of
the peasant culture can be called
simply English, their life somewhere in 10
1000 BC was similar to the
life of the inhabitants of northern Europe, but everything
changed when 9 and a half thousand years
ago Ireland broke away from Britain and
8000 years ago, the territory itself
split off from Europe and turned into an
island due to the good climate, people
settled in northern Scotland and were
mainly engaged in nomads
and hunting. The first hints of agriculture and domestication of
animals in
Britain date back to the 4 1500th year before
BC and the skin color of the inhabitants of many
it may surprise DNA analysis of human
cheddar and lived just in time
separating Britain from Europe showed that
he was dark brown with dark
curly hair and blue eyes
the word of the DNA of this ancient inhabitants of Europe
now you can find only 11 percent
is actually a funny story because
only 21 percent of current residents
the UK has ancestors among those
the first settlers came in
the end of the ice age and the whole of 51
the percentage of the descendants of the children settled in
Britain at the time when she became
only the inhabitants of Wales have the largest percentage of conno-
British genes on the island
, but from other news, somewhere right
there in 3 1000 BC, the guys
built stonehenge and began to mine
silicon and actively trade even with
remote territories
, the British mastered bronze somewhere by
in 2150 BC and in 1600
, tin deposits were discovered, which were
supplied to the whole of Europe for a second, which indicates not
only a developed industry, but also the
skills of building ships thanks to this
, the migration processes continued in York
, the remains of the human brain were found in general
living somewhere in the 500 Ohm BC
era and who were the immigrants from the
middle East
but the biggest group of migrants is
the Celts originated from us as in Germany
and France, the Celts settled throughout
Europe along with them from South
Europe to Britain penetrated technology
processing of iron, and along with the name
the island's inhabitants generally associated with this
funny story for Caesar in his
records noted that people known
Romans goals actually call themselves
the Celts and in turn, the residents
other areas are called Britons in
total parse who Celt who is not nearly
unreal and it still makes
scientists debate is reliably known
just what the title before they gave people
a Greek traveler pythonesses it
visited Britain somewhere in the three hundred
the twenty-fifth year BC
described its people as masters
wheat
and traders because the island was
creepy as rich in minerals
as such States in Britain have not
it was only a hundred and seventy-fifth year to
ad in Kent about sex and a couple of other
areas in the South of England emerged
quite a large populated areas
which can be considered the first cities
he said there are mainly on Celtic but
to meet you was how the Romans and
people in Germany that Britain
migrated particularly active migration and
along with a rich trading history
residents of the island with the continent and steel
the reason why the territory
laid eyes Rimma historians believe that
the last straw was the assistance of the Britons
goals in their revolt against u
the Roman Empire and in 55 the year before
BC Cesar took two legions and
well breed there, kicked ass because as we
mentioned mainly inhabited
Britain had few related tribes
but still lagging behind the Romans in
technical terms in a year Caesar
bear island even more damage but
taking the indemnity will return to the continent
finally a province of Rome in Britain
will be more than 100 years but since
the times of Caesar and starts active
trade and actual dependence
Islands of the Empire of the continent which
word on the local people, not really
impact they had traded with
Europeans and the language and culture of the Romans
the conquered territories not particularly
impose all happened by itself and
the first ad, England was a Roman
wanna zero but not all of Britain for
Scottish barbarians in subsequent
century cool drink of blood Roman
the legions and to reflect their raids
personally emperors will be built
these ramparts but
the fall of Rome in the middle of the first
Millennium BC began the most
interesting came on the scene the same
the Anglo-Saxon ancestors huge number
the inhabitants of present-day England and the tradition
that England is that the English is a Germanic
the tribes of the ones that became one of the
reasons for the collapse of the Roman Empire
Britain, this resulted in the same
the conquest which ended closer to
the seventh century and ended with the fact that
the angles of AGS and conquered the territory
modern Britain in this word lies
and the root of internal contradictions in
British Peninsula which
persist to this day because the Scots
Irish and Welsh by the Anglo-Saxons
the conquered were not de facto, they
are undefeated descendants
the Celts that gives them a reason to be proud
but it does not say the Celts were still
tribes lag behind in development and
the Anglo-Saxons gash in Britain as much as 7
mini kingdoms that later
united for the first time in history called
himself and England the king of the one
the state was appointed by Alfred the Great,
who noted that he lost the
first significant war, because at the end of the 8th
century the Vikings entered the arena, who
first of all encroached on the sweet
territories of southern Brittany and the
newly minted kingdoms of England
desperately resisted, but in the end
a peace treaty was concluded under which
London and a significant part of the lands went to the
Vikings and became known as
this log only in 1018 the British would be
able to take their territories back , but
again Scotland Wales and Ireland
continued to live by their own laws and
pillars of the well, a quiet life without trying
Europeans to conquer Britain is not
lasted 50 years
1066
the conqueror destroyed the Saxons at the battle of
Hastings
normal representatives of the Duchy of
Northern France began to rule England
let some historians believe that a
the conquest of the question because the latter
independent of the kings of England, Edward
born in Normandy, and for a long time there
he lived, therefore, took the country Wilhelm
rightly called yourself his heir and
de facto continued the line of inheritance
the period of the Norman counts in history
turning Britain for the British
they found themselves on the brink of death, the Anglo-Saxons were
kicked out of the aristocracy,
the English language
was persecuted and almost the whole of London
communicated in French, that's where
the rudiments of the formation of a single
state on the island are located, because the Anglo-Saxons in
shocked by the Normans, they fled to Scotland and
even Ireland because the independent descendants of
the Celts, even if they were their own
, were newcomers from Europe, nevertheless,
it was the Normans who laid
the foundations of feudalism in Britain and as such a single
state, the chivalry of the peasants was
driven into dependence and the royal
the government strengthened and caused fear if
in short, the situation was such that ruled
country French but the lower strata
of the population were Anglo-Saxons and even when
the Normans from England you got the boot
name laid the foundations of society
remained until the late
the middle ages there were
classic dislike English 👑
the French which, as you know
the future will result in a dozen
bloody wars and even inside
country for the issue of cultural
accessories in the following centuries
will stand very serious causing tens
devastating civil wars but
It is important to us that after the Normans
, Plantagenet and who , ironically ,
were French again came on the scene . The name
Plantagenet itself was originally from France ,
it was worn by the father of Henry 2 , who was elected in
1154 in the first half of the Board
Henry kept a stiff upper lip
he restored the Central government
besieged feudal taxes and
the money was hired by his army also
the British crown through the related
communication began to possess significant
territories in France and along the way, Henry
grabbed and Ireland but at the end of life
Henry appeared on the stage of the legendary
Richard the Lionheart is his son
who said the exploits in the Crusades
campaigns
the funny thing is that within the England lion
heart hated with all my heart and he
considered one of the most inept
kings indeed, in the first live
Henry, he forced the king to become a vassal
France and return to its territory and
secondly collecting money for the Crusades
Hiking lion's heart fierce
the image was taken from the people of England
the last later, when Richard was in
captivity in Austria in the ransom generally had
to fold the entire country taking
each quarter of the income total
romantic image of a lion heart
reality is not so good only
Richard's brother and one was able to unwittingly make the
situation better under his rule created the
legendary Magna Carta speech about. source of a beautiful photo
