History[]
In 55-54 B.C. the Roman Empire had sailed the English Channel to acquire England and make it part of the empire. British natives such as the Celts fought bravely, sending the Romans back to Gaul. Rome was not successful in her invasions until 43 AD. In 12
The Romans would go onto control most of modern England and Wales, founding many cities that are still here today. One notable example is London. The latin name for Britain was "Britannia".
The Romans would go on to progressively abandon the island of Britannia because of their empire falling apart. With the Roman empire gone, the Celts started fighting amongst themselves once again, this time calling in for help from Germanic tribes. These were the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes, who had arrived in the the 5th through 6th centuries AD. However, after the fights the Germanic tribes took over and pushed the celts back to Wales and Cornwall. These Germanic tribes founded their own kingdoms, Kent, Essex, Sussex, Wessex, and in the further the kingdoms of East Anglia, Mercia, and Northumbria. These 7 Germanic kingdoms, which ruled over all of England from about the 6th Century AD to the mid 9th Century AD, were later known as the Anglo-Saxons heptarchy.
