(named after germanic tribe from “angeln”)
(‘england’ is a country that is part of the ‘united kingdom’)
(it shares land borders with ‘scotland’ to the north and ‘wales’ to the west)
(the ‘irish sea’ lies northwest of ‘england’ and the ‘celtic sea’ lies to the southwest)
(‘england’ is separated from ‘continental europe’ by the ‘north sea’ to the east and the ‘english channel’ to the south)
(the country covers much of the ‘central’ and ‘southern’ part of the island of ‘great britain’, which lies in the ‘north atlantic’; and includes over 100 smaller islands such as the ‘isles of scilly’, and the ‘isle of wight’)
(the area now called ‘england’ was first inhabited by modern humans during the ‘upper palaeolithic’ period, but takes its name from the ‘angles’, one of the ‘germanic tribes’ who settled during the ‘5th’ + ‘6th’ centuries)
(‘england’ became a ‘unified state’ in the ’10th century’, and since the ‘age of discovery’ (which began during the ’15th century’) has had a significant ‘cultural’ and ‘legal’ impact on the wider world)
(the ‘english language’, the ‘anglican church’, and ‘english law’ (the basis for the ‘common law’ legal systems of many other countries around the world) developed in ‘england’, and the country’s ‘parliamentary’ system of government has been widely adopted by other nations)
(the ‘industrial revolution’ began in 18th-century ‘england’, transforming its society into the ‘world’s first industrialized nation’)
(england’s terrain mostly comprises ‘low hills’ and ‘plains’, especially in central and southern ‘england’)
(however, there are ‘uplands’ in the north (for example, the mountainous ‘lake district’, ‘pennines’, and ‘yorkshire dales’) and in the southwest (for example, ‘dartmoor’ and the ‘cotswolds’))
(the capital is ‘london’, which is the largest metropolitan area in both the ‘united kingdom’ and the ‘european union’)
(england’s population of over ’53 million’ comprises 84% of the population of the ‘united kingdom’, largely concentrated around ‘london’, the ‘south east’, and conurbations in the ‘midlands’, the ‘north west’, the ‘north east’, and ‘yorkshire’, which each developed as major industrial regions during the 19th century)
(the ‘kingdom of england’—which after 1535 included ‘wales’—ceased being a separate ‘sovereign state’ on ‘1 may 1707’, when the ‘acts of union’ put into effect the terms agreed in the ‘treaty of union’ the previous year, resulting in a political union with the ‘kingdom of scotland’ to create the ‘kingdom of great britain’)
(in 1801, ‘great britain’ was united with the ‘kingdom of ireland’ through another ‘act of union’ to become the ‘united kingdom of ‘great britain’ and ‘ireland”)
.
*in 1922, the ‘irish free state’ seceded from the ‘united kingdom’, leading to the latter being re-named the ‘united kingdom of ‘great britain’ + ‘northern ireland’*
