General Information

United Kingdom, also known as the Britain, is an island nation off the northwest coast of continental Europe. It includes the island of Great Britain, the north-eastern part of the island of Ireland, where it has a land border with the Republic of Ireland, and a number of smaller islands.

History

Significant cultures originated in today's Britain since the Neolithic. The proof is the Stonehenge monument in southern England.

In the 4th century BC, the Celts came to the country. In the 1st century AD, a large part of the country was ruled by the Roman Empire and established its province called Britannia, which existed until the 5th century.

Britain became a leading naval, commercial and colonial power, which was supported in the 18th and 19th centuries by the industrial revolution that took place here: for example, the loom and the steam engine were improved, and the steam locomotive was invented.

Although the American Revolution (1776) and the independence of the United States weakened Great Britain, in the 19th century, during the long reign of Queen Victoria, the British Empire became the largest and most powerful state in the world.

In the 20th century, Britain was on the side of the victors in both world wars, but its colonial empire disintegrated and in 1922 the Republic of Ireland became independent.

Quick guide

Stonehenge and Avenbury in Witlshire, along with Carnac in France, are the best-known examples of Europe's megalithic Neolithic culture. These are the so-called "henges", ie stone circles, which still raise many questions. In addition, Silbury Hill is located between the two localities, which is the largest prehistoric monument in Europe with a diameter of 100 m and a height of 38 m.

Other sights include Loch Nes Lake, cities such as London, Manchester, Hadrian's Wall and more.

Fun facts

The name of the country is actually "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". It consists of four states - England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

There is also still a free association called the Commonwealth, which includes not only the above countries, but also former dominions and colonies. In addition to Antarctica, it includes territories on all continents of the world.
