Great Britain. Many different tribes tried to control the
territory of Britain. England was added to the Roman Empire
in 43 A.D. Roman invasion played a very important role in
the history of the country. The Roman built the first roads in
the country, dug the first walls. The Romans, who were great
architects, constructed the first towns in Britain.
But the Normans influenced the British civilization most
of all. They came in 1066 under the leadership of William
the Conqueror. As the invaders spoke French, their speech
influenced the English language.

battle of Trafalgar. Then Admiral Nelson won a great victory
over the French fleet. In order to commemorate this event
