4.  Differences Between Great Britain and

The United Kingdom is a country that consists
of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. In
fact, the official name of the country is
"United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland.“
Great Britain is the name of the island
northwest of France and east of Ireland that
consists of three somewhat autonomous
regions: England, Wales and Scotland.

5.  Stone Age Britain (5000 BC- 55BC)
Over thousands of years, groups of people
came from the continent of Europe to
Britain. The very first people were
StoneAge hunters living all over Europe
and the British Isles. It was about 2400 BC
when the first farmers arrived in England
from southern Europe; these are the
people who built the mysteriousstone
monuments like Stonehenge.

6.  The Celts (800-600 BC-
Roman occupation)
From around 750 BC to 12
BC, the Celts were the most
powerful people in central
and northern Europe. There
were many groups (tribes) of
Celts, speaking a vaguely
common language.
The word Celt comes from the
Greek word, Keltoi, which
means barbarians and is
properly pronounced as "Kelt".

7.  The Romans (55BC- AD 440)
The Romans came to Britain
nearly 2000 years ago and
changed our country. Even
today, evidence of the
Romans being here, can be
seen in the ruins of Roman
buildings, forts, roads, and
baths can be found all over
Britain.
The Romans invaded other
countries too. The Roman
Empire covered much of
Europe, north Africa, and the
Middle East.

8.  The Anglo-Saxons (440-
1066)
After the Romans left England
in the 4th century,the
peaceful Celtic Britons were
attacked by the warlike
Angles,Saxons and Jutes,
three groups of people who
came from West Germany
and Denmark. They took
control of most of the country
they called, “Aengla-land”
between AD 450 and 600.

9.  The Vikings (793)
The Viking Age in Britain began about
1,200 years ago in the 9th Century AD
and lasted for just over 200 years.
About the year 800, bands of fierce
raiders began to attack our coasts.
They were the Vikings (also called the
Danes although they didn't just come
from Denmark.
The Vikings came across the North
Sea, just as the Anglo-Saxons had
done 400 years earlier. In time, like the
Anglo-Saxons, the Vikings made their
home here. They drove the Saxons out
of part of the country and took it for
themselves.

10.  The Normans (1066)
In October 1066 William,
the Norman king invaded
England,becoming King
William I (William the
Conqueror) of England.Within
five years, the Normans had
conquered all of England.They
imposed unity on England and
helped to link England with
the culture of the rest of Europe.

11.  The Tudor Age (1485-1603)
Five hundred years ago the world was
a very different place. We were only
just realizing that America existed
and we had no idea about Australia.
England (including the Principality of
Wales) and Scotland were separate
kingdoms, each with their own royal
family.
The Tudors were a Welsh-English family
that ruled England and Wales from
1485 to 1603 - one of the most exciting
Periods of British history.
They ruled for 118 years and during
Their reign encouraged new religious
ideas, overseas exploration and
colonisation.

12.  Victoria (1837)
The Victorians lived over one
hundred and fifty years ago
during the reign of Queen
Victoria (1837 to 1901).
Victorian times means during
Victoria's rule. The time Queen
Victoria was on the throne.
She ruled for 64 years.

13.  The Rise of the British Empire ( Modern
Britain )
During the 17th and 18th centuries the
British sailed across the seas with the
purpose of increasing British power and
wealth, competing mostly with France for
colonies around the world. Emigration was
a solution to the over population problem
in Britain. Little by little, people looking for
freedom or wealth settled in these far
away places.

14. The motivation in 1707 is largely economics
for the Scots and political for the English.
The Act Union abolishes the Scottish
Parliament, giving the scott instead a
proportion of the seats at Westminster (
forty-five in the commons, sixteen in the
lords . Scotland’s legal system, radically
different from English Common law, is
specifically safeguarded.

15.  In conclusion, Britannia or commonly called the Great Britain
has an area of 229,850 km2 and it’s the larger island of the
British Isles
 Great Britain is made up of:
England – the capital is London.
Scotland – the capital is Edinburgh.

 The beginnings of Great Britain start at Stone Age in 5000 BC
until 500 BC and Britain became the most powerful and
richest country in the world, with the largest empire that had
ever existed, ruling a quarter of the world's population, when
Queen Victoria was on the throne.
