Brief History of England
England, part of the United
Kingdom, was formed by the unification of the
small Celtic and
Anglo-Saxon kingdoms during the medieval period. History shows that
the country was first inhabited about 900 000 years ago. The
aforementioned
period is called the Old Stone Age or the Palaeolithic
era,
where
the inhabitants, who were hunter-gathers, used items
made of stone for
tools.
Then,
the New Stone age or the Meolithic era, which
came
after the Old Stone Age era was the period of
human development and this
marked the transition from hunter-gathering to the advent of farming.
The next era is
called the Bronze Age and this era saw a shift from community to
individualism. During this time, bronze was produced, traded and
used widely by
the people.
This was also
the time when power and resources became tools used by a growing
elite class. The Celtics inhabited England during the next
era, the
Iron Age, and they were the majority of the population. Romans later
invaded the land and were triumphant at seizing and gaining control
of the country. Many native
tribes
later rebelled
against the Romans and successfully gained back control of their
homeland. Then, the country was inhabited by
the Anglo-Saxons, who
were
the Angles, Saxons Jutes and Frisians, and this era
gave rise to what is Modern England.
