The History of England

Now, England has been one of the most powerful and successful countries in the world.  So I'm going to write this post on how it was created.You may think that England was never taken over.If so you are absolutely incorrect. England was completely taken over all the way back in the fifth century.Back then there were three unpopular tribes : the Angles, the Saxons, and the Jutes. These tribes all had very little land. So they all teamed up to conquer a big territory, that was at that time populated by a later parted group of people we now call the Scottish, the Irish, and the Welsh. A website calledwikimedia.com has a online map of there invasion.
The three tribes became known as the Anglo-Saxons and there land was called England.
There invasion was sucsessfull and the former owners got pushed back into Ireland, Scottland, and Wales. For more information and fun games go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/primaryhistory/anglo_saxons/invasion_and_settlement/
I hoped you enjoyed it.
