About England in brief
England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom. It shares land borders with Wales to its west and Scotland to its north. England is separated from continental Europe by the North Sea to the east and the English Channel to the south. England’s terrain is chiefly low hills and plains, especially in central and southern England. There is upland and mountainous terrain in the north and in the west. The capital is London, which has the largest metropolitan area in both the United UK and, prior to Brexit, the European Union. England has a population of over 55 million, largely concentrated around London, the South East, and conurbations in the Midlands, the North West, and the North East. The English language, the Anglican Church, and English law – the basis for the common law legal systems of many other countries – developed in England. England became a unified state in the 10th century, and since the Age of Discovery has had a significant cultural and legal impact on the wider world. The name England is derived from the Old English name Englaland, which means \”land of the Angles\”. The Angles were one of the Germanic tribes that settled in Great Britain during the Early Middle Ages and came from the Anglia peninsula in the Bay of Kiel area of the Baltic Sea. A romantic name for England is Loegria, related to the Welsh word for England, Loegr, meaning the island of Great Britain, though its original capacity is more poetic in its capacity as a poetic capacity, meaning Great Britain is the original island of England.
In Gaelic, the word for the English island of Britain is Sanegr, which is similar to the name for the Welsh island of Wales, and is also applied to England in a more poetic capacity. The word for Great Britain in Gaelic is Weser, meaning Albion, and made popular by its use in Arthurian legend as the name of the English king, William the Conqueror. England was first inhabited by modern humans during the Upper Paleolithic period, but takes its name from theAngles, a Germanic tribe deriving its name. The earliest attested reference to Angles occurs in the 1st-century work by Tacitus, Germania, in which the Latin word Anglii is used. The term was then used in a different sense to the modern one, meaning \”the land inhabited by the English\”, and it included English people in what is now south-east Scotland but was then part of English kingdom of Northumbria. The Industrial Revolution began in 18th-century England, transforming its society into the world’s first industrialised nation. In 1801, Great Britain was united with the Kingdom of Ireland to become the United Britain and Ireland. In 1922, the Irish Free State seceded from the United. Kingdom, leading to the latter being renamed United Kingdom of Great. Britain and Northern Ireland. England’s population of 84% comprises 84% of the population of the U.K.
