英国历史简介
英国历史简介英国历史简介（一）：英国历史简介英国历史是一部征服与合并的历史。
英国全称为大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国，由英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰和北爱尔兰组成，而整个英国的历史也就是由这四个区域的历史交织组成。
1535年威尔士成为英格兰王国的一部分，1707年苏格兰与英格兰正式合并为大不列颠王国，1800年大不列颠王国和爱尔兰合并成为大不列颠与爱尔兰联合王国，1922年爱尔兰共和国独立，爱尔兰北部仍留在联合王国内。
英国历史文化简介英国经济实力的发展，使其成为当时世界上第一个工业革命国家，在世界上持续第一强国。
并且在19世纪时，到达了全盛时期，由于国家实力的雄厚，使得其领土不断扩张，以至于之后其殖民地的面积到达了本土面积的111倍，成为了但是世界上头号殖民大国，也就是日不落帝国。
由于第一次世界大战的爆发，对经济产生了重大的打击，使得英国逐渐瓦解。
迫于压力，在1920年设立北爱兰郡，并于1921年至1922年允许爱尔兰南部脱离其统治，成立独立国家。
同样，对于英国来说，在其经济还未完全复苏时，第二次世界大战又爆发了，无疑又是一次雪上加霜的打击，因此其政治地位开始下降。
随着1947年印度和巴基斯坦的相继独立，到60年代，英帝国殖民体系瓦解。
1973年1月英国加入欧洲共同体。
文化英国历史文化，从日不落开始，便称为世界的中心，此刻英国文化中，以大本钟为其所独特的名片而被全世界理解，华丽的外形设计和清脆悦耳的声音，吸引着全世界的游客，至今已经有一个世纪之久。

history of uk 英国简史
The Origins of the United Kingdom(5000BC-1066)I.Early Settlers （5000BC-55BC）1.The first known settlers of Britain were the Iberians.2.At about 2000 BC the Beaker Folk arrived from the areas now known as Holland and Rhineland.3. The Celts began to arrive Britain about 700 BC.II. Roman Britain (55BC-410AD)1.British recorded history begins with the Roman invasion. In 55BC and 54BC, Julius Caesar, a Roman general, invaded Britain twice. In 43, the Emperor Claudius invaded Britain successfully. For nearly 400 years, Britain was under the Roman occupation, though it was never a total occupation.2. Roman’s influence.The Roman built many towns, road, baths, temples and buildings. They make good use of Britain’s natural resources. They also brought the new religion, Christianity, to Britain.3.Reasons for limited Roman influence.First, the Romans always treated the Britons as a subject people of slave class. Second, never during the 4 centuries did the Romans and Britons intermarry. Third, the Romans had no impact on the language or culture of ordinary Britons.III. The Anglo-Saxons (446-871)1. Basis of Modern English race: the Anglo-Saxons.In the mid-5th century a new wave of invaders, Jutes, Saxons and Angles, three Teutonic tribes, came to Britain.2.The early Anglo-Saxons converted to Christianity.The Anglo-Saxons brought their own Teutonic religion to Britain. Christianity soon disappeared. In 579 St. Augustine was remarkably successful in converting the king and the nobility to Christianity, but the conversion of the common people was largely due to the missionary activities of the monks in the north.IV.Viking and Danish invasions1.The invaders were the Norwegians and the Danes. By the middle of 9th century, the Viking and the Danes were posing a threat to the Saxon kingdom of Wessex.2.King Alfred (849-899) and his contributionsAlfred was a king of Wessex. He defeated the Danes and reached a friendly agreement with them in 879. He also converted some leading Danes into Christians.He founded a strong fleet and is known as “the father of the British navy”. He reorganized the Saxon army, making it more efficient. He translated a Latin book into English. He also established schools and formulated a legal system. All this earns him the title “Alfred the Great.”V.The Norman Conquest (1066)1.Reasons for William’s invasion.It was said that king Edward had promised the English throne to William, but the Witan chose Harold as king. So William led his army to invade England. In October 1066, during the importantbattle of Hastings, William defeated Harold and killed him. One Christmas Day, William was crowned king of England, thus beginning the Norman Conquest of England.2.ConsequencesThe Norman Conquest of 1066 is perhaps the best-known event in English history. William the Conqueror confiscated almost all the land and gave it to his Norman followers. He replaced the weak Saxon rule with a strong Norman government. So the feudal system was completely established in England. Relations with the Continent were opened, and the civilization and commerce were extended. Norman-French culture, language, manners and architecture were introduced. The Church was brought into closer connection with Rome, and the church courts were separated from the civil courts.。
