England
England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom located in northwestern Europe, sharing land borders with Scotland to the north and Wales to the west. Modern humans first inhabited the area now called England during the Upper Paleolithic period, and by 1284 the Kingdom of England had come to include Wales within its territory.
London
London has a long history dating back to the Anglo-Saxons and the Battle of Hastings in 1066 when William the Conqueror became king. By the 19th century, London had become the largest and most powerful city in the world. Today, London is divided into 32 districts and has a population of over 7.5 million people that is diverse in both ethnicity and religion. Two of London's largest industries are tourism, which employs over 350,000 people and brings in £15 billion annually, and the Port of London, which handles 53 million tons of cargo each year.

Great britain
The United Kingdom is made up of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. It has a varied landscape from mountains to lowlands. The UK has a temperate climate influenced by its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. Many groups have invaded and settled in Britain over time, including the Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, and Normans, leaving behind cultural and linguistic influences. The country developed a strong monarchy and parliamentary system of government.
HISTORY YEAR 9: BRITISH SOVEREIGNTY AND INTERVENTION
Under pressure from Britain, New Zealand's first governor William Hobson invited Māori chiefs to sign the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840 to establish British sovereignty over New Zealand. The treaty guaranteed Māori possession of their lands and rights as British subjects in exchange for ceding powers of government. European settlement of New Zealand began even before the treaty was signed, with the founding of Wellington, Whanganui, Nelson and New Plymouth in the 1840s. By the 1850s, most of the North Island had been explored, and Britain established self-government for its settlers through the New Zealand Constitution Act of 1852.
Norman conquest (3)
The Normanization of England began in 911 when the Vikings settled in northern France and became known as Normans. In 1066, William, Duke of Normandy invaded and defeated King Harold II of England at the Battle of Hastings, beginning the Norman conquest. The conquest brought extensive changes including the replacement of English elites with Normans, introduction of feudalism, establishment of castles, and making French the language of nobility and Latin the language of religion and law. The conquest permanently shaped England by establishing Norman rule.
England
England is the largest and most populous of the four countries that make up the United Kingdom. It covers 130,395 square kilometers in southeastern Great Britain and has a population of around 49 million people. London is the capital city. English originated as the language of England and is now spoken by millions worldwide, though it was displaced after the Norman conquest and showed French influence before becoming dominant again. Cornish, a Celtic language, is the only other native language but is nearly extinct, with around 3,500 speakers today. England has a strong economy focused on services like banking, insurance, and business, which together account for most GDP and employment. Agriculture, manufacturing, tourism, and energy production also contribute significantly to the economy.
The norman invasion2
William the Duke of Normandy invaded England in 1066 after the death of King Edward the Confessor left the English throne disputed. Harold Godwinson seized the throne but faced invasions from Norway and Normandy. At the Battle of Hastings on October 14, 1066, William defeated and killed Harold, establishing Norman rule over England and crowning himself as King William I.

Vikings in england
Vikings expanded across Europe through several routes, including across the Baltic Sea, along the English Channel, and along the Sea Road connecting Norway to Ireland. Their expansion in Britain occurred in three stages - initial raids on coastal areas like Lindisfarne Abbey in 793, followed by a large-scale invasion by the Great Army from 865-886 that established Danelaw control over parts of England, and finally settlement and intermarriage as Vikings assimilated and some areas, like parts of England, came under Norse rule, culminating in the North Sea Kingdom of King Cnut in the early 11th century.

Reasons behind the treaty
The British presented the Maori with a treaty for several reasons: to formally claim New Zealand as part of the British Empire before other European powers could, in response to British whalers breaking laws which missionaries felt insulted the Crown, and to buy land from the Maori to expand the empire and utilize New Zealand's natural resources with minimal conflict.
The Norman Conquest 1066
William the Conqueror's victory over King Harold at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 led to significant changes in England. The Normans established themselves as the new ruling class and brought French words into Old English. Many terms relating to war, government, religion and other domains were adopted from French. Over time, French words underwent sound changes as they integrated into English. The Norman Conquest had a lasting impact on English language and society through the introduction of numerous French-derived vocabulary.
The Normans in England
The Norman Conquest of England took place in 1066 when William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy, led an army of French, Breton, and Norman soldiers across the English Channel and defeated the Anglo-Saxon King Harold at the Battle of Hastings on October 14th. This established William as the first Norman King of England and marked the end of Anglo-Saxon rule.

They seized Hong Kong Island in 1841 per a treaty, making it a British colony in 1843. While Hong Kong provided the British an economic foothold, they never made up more than a small portion of the population.

Norman conquest and subjection of english
The Norman Conquest of 1066 had a major impact on the English language. After William the Conqueror defeated the English at the Battle of Hastings, he established a new Norman nobility who spoke French rather than English. Over time, the languages fused as the upper classes learned English while the lower classes learned French. By the late 1200s, French had become the dominant language of the English court and government, while English remained primarily a language of the common people. However, both English and French continued to be used in England, with a diffusion of the languages occurring across social classes.

However, disagreements arose due to mistranslations of key terms in the Maori version of the treaty and some important tribes refusing to sign. Ultimately, just over 500 Maori signed the treaty, though debate continues around interpretation of its meaning and implications.
The norman conquest
The Norman Conquest of 1066 had a profound impact on the English language. William the Conqueror defeated King Harold and established Norman rule in England. This led to the replacement of the English nobility with Norman nobles and the influx of many French words into the English vocabulary over subsequent generations. The Normans who had settled in northern France centuries earlier had adopted the French language and culture, so when they conquered England they introduced French influences that transformed English from a predominantly Germanic language to one with significant Romance elements in its vocabulary.
