Outstanding Events in the History of Great Britain — Выдающиеся события в жизни Великобритании

There were many outstanding events in the history of Great Britain. Many different tribes tried to control the territory of Britain. England was added to the Roman Empire in 43 A. D. Roman invasion played a very important role in the history of the country. The Roman built the first roads in the country, dug the first walls. The Romans, who were great architects, constructed the first towns in Britain.

But the Normans influenced the British civilization most of all. They came in 1066 under the leadership of William the Conqueror. As the invaders spoke French, their speech influenced the English language.

Once the British had to face the French in 1805 at the battle of Trafalgar. Then Admiral Nelson won a great victory over the French fleet. In order to commemorate this event the monument to Admiral Nelson was erected on this square.

In the 18th century technological and commercial innovation led to the Industrial Revolution. The 13 North American Colonies were last, but replaced oy colonies in Canada an India.

Выдающиеся события в жизни Великобритании

В истории Великобритании было много выдающихся событий. Различные племена пытались управлять территорией Великобритании. В 43 г. н. э. Англия была присоединена к Римской империи. Завоевание Римом сыграло важную роль в истории страны. Римляне построили первые дороги в стране, выкопали первые колодцы. Римляне, которые были великими архитекторами, построили первые города в Британии.

Но норманны повлияли на британскую цивилизацию больше всего. Они пришли в 1066 году под предводительством Вильгельма Завоевателя. Так как завоеватели говорили по-французски, их речь оказала влияние на английский язык.

Однажды Британия противостояла французам в 1805 г. в битве при Трафальгаре. Тогда адмирал Нельсон одержал победу над французским флотом. В честь этого события на площади был воздвигнут памятник адмиралу Нельсону.

В XVIII ст. технологические и коммерческие нововведения привели к промышленной революции. Тринадцать североамериканских колоний были потеряны, но их заменили колонии в Канаде и Индии.
