In its early history, Britain was subjected to many
invasions and migrations from Scandinavia and the Continent. The Romans
occupied Britain for several centuries. The Normans, the last of a long
succession of invaders, conquered England in 1066. Under the Normans,
pre-Celtic, Celtic, Roman, Anglo-Saxon, and Norse influences were blended
into the Briton of today. In addition to the ethnic groups indigenous to the
British Isles, immigration in the past few decades has added large numbers
of Africans, Europeans, Indians, Pakistanis, and Bangladeshis to the British
population. |
