    BC Mediterranean Iberians, Vics, Celts, came to Britain. The southeastern part of the island of Great Britain was ruled by the Roman Empire in the 1st and 5th centuries AD. After the Romans withdrew, the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes in northern Europe invaded and settled one after another.

    In the 7th century, the feudal system began to form, and many small states were merged into seven kingdoms, which lasted for 200 years, and the history is known as the "Anglo-Saxon era". In 829, King Egbert of Wessex unified England, known as the "Anglo-Saxon Era". It was invaded by the Danes at the end of the 8th century and was part of the Danish pirate empire from 1016 to 1042.

    After a short period of rule by the English king, in 1066 the Duke of Normandy crossed the sea to conquer England and established the Normandy dynasty. In 1215, King John was forced to sign the Magna Carta, and royal power was suppressed.

    From 1338 to 1453, England and France fought the "Hundred Years' War", and England won first and then lost. England and Wales were united in 1536. In 1588, he defeated the Spanish "Armada" and established maritime supremacy.

    In 1640, England was the first in the world to break out in the bourgeois revolution and became the forerunner of the bourgeois revolution. The Republic was proclaimed on May 19, 1649. In 1660 the dynasty was restored, and in 1668 the "Glorious Revolution" took place, which established a constitutional monarchy.

    England was united with Scotland in 1707 and Ireland in 1801. From the second half of the 18th century to the first half of the 19th century, it became the first country in the world to complete the industrial revolution.

    The 19th century was the heyday of the British Empire, and in 1914 it occupied 111 times more colonies than the mainland, making it the first colonial power. After the First World War, it began to decay. Britain established the Northern Irand County in 1920 and allowed the southern part of Ireland to secede from its rule from 1921 to 1922, with 26 counties in the south forming the "Free State" and 6 counties in the north remaining under the British rule.

    The enactment of the Statute of Westminster in 1931 forced the Dominion to recognize its domestically prudent and foreign independence, and the colonial system of the British Empire was shaken ever since. After World War I, Britain began to decline, and its world hegemony was gradually replaced by the United States. World War II was a major weakening of economic power and a decline in political status.

    With the independence of India and Pakistan in 1947, the British colonial system began to disintegrate, but Britain remained the leader of the 53 member states of the British Commonwealth. At present, the UK still has 13 territories overseas. In January 1973 he joined the European Union.

    Let me give you a rough idea, the Romans occupied a small island, called Great Britain, and found it too bad, nothing, and spent military money in vain, so they withdrew the garrison, and the aborigines of the island are said to be from Liberia, that is, Spain.

    Later a people called the Anglo-Saxons invaded here, fought for a century and a half, established several states, and then there was the long medieval history, and small countries fought back and forth.

    The unification and integration of blood formed the main nation of today's Britain.

    The Danes invaded again and were beaten back.

    In the 10th century, there was a French Duke of Normandy, who came here to be king, and was called "William the Conqueror" by the British.

    Later, a coup d'état broke out in England, and the one who came to power was called the Tudor dynasty, which is very famous, Elizabeth's family.

    Then there was the capitalist revolution, because the lords had been disobedient, the king actually had no rights, there was a compromise thing called parliament, the parliament and the king fought after the war, the skin, coupled with the development of the productive forces, the rise of capitalist forces, everyone compromised step by step, forming today's constitutional monarchy.

    The development of Britain's political history is a history of compromise.

    Britain itself is capitalist, but France has taken another road, the extreme road, and also piggyback on the promotion of equality and fraternity, Napoleon conquered all the way, bringing the glory of capitalism all over Europe, the European feudal kings quit, Britain also in order to contain France, organized an anti-French alliance, just like that, a capitalist empire with a bunch of feudal desires, defeated the emerging capitalist countries.

    And then it's what everyone knows, the colonization of the whole world, the Victorian British are amazing, and today there is a word in Britain called the people of the Victorian era.

    One of the characteristics of British colonial history is that when the bad things are done in advance, when others start to do bad things, they will loudly accuse you that this is not right, and then come out to maintain order and pretend to be good people, such as the problem of piracy, such as the problem of the slave trade.

    The two queens you are talking about should be Elizabeth I of the House of Dordor and Victoria of the House of Hanover.

    The Elizabeth I period was an important period in the rise of England, during which England competed with Spain, the maritime supremacy of the time, defeated the Armada and began to gain superiority.

    Victoria was the heyday of the British Empire, becoming the "empire on which the sun never sets".

    The red and white roses were the family crests of the House of Lancaster and the House of York in the history of England, and the war between the two families for the throne of England was called the War of the Roses.

    Both the House of Lancaster and the House of York are descendants of the House of Plantagenet (i.e., the House of First Anjou) in England, and the first ancestors were named the Duke of Lancaster and the Duke of York respectively.

    Space is limited, so that's all for now, and I'll add it if I have any questions.

    During the reign of Queen Elizabeth, the United Kingdom began to rise by reusing pirates to defeat the Spanish Armada. Queen Victoria became the world's number one power during her reign, and the sun never sets on the empire. The red and white roses are the family emblems of the two British families, and the Red and White Rose War is a war between the two families for the British crown.
