The United Kingdom of Great Britain is located on the island near the northwestern coast of Europe and to the east of Ireland. The geography of the country\'s vast and varied: mountain plateau, green spaces of rural areas and lively cities. Cultural heritage of the past two millennia of human history is filled the country.From ancient sources, we know that the history of Great Britain goes back to 55 BC when the Romans conquered almost the entire island. In the V th century CE, after the fall of the Roman Empire, the country was conquered by German-speaking tribes of Angles and Saxons. Since then it has become known as Britain. If later northern and eastern regions of England were regularly subjected to attacks of the Vikings, then Wales and Scotland continued to remain under the authority of the Celts. In the middle of the XVI century there was a unification of England and Wales, and in 1707 Scotland has joined their union. As a result, the state, which quickly became transformed into a mighty maritime empire, appeared at the political map of Europe. The United Kingdom was formed in 1801. Over the last century, Britain has undergone a huge transformation - from the colonial empire to a member of the EU.Any point of England is easily reached from lively, inspiring energy capital - London, famous for its history and cultural splendor. Northern England, with its lakes, mountains, castles and rocky coast is amazingly picturesque. Vast agricultural areas lie to the south of London, and scenic coastline covered by hospitable resorts and fishing villages.
