Claudian invasion of Britain

The Claudian invasion of Britain occurred in 43 CE when the Roman Empire, under Emperor Claudius, launched a military campaign to conquer the island. Romans aimed to expand their territory, establish control over Britain’s resources, and secure their northern frontier. The invasion involved a well-organized military force that quickly overcame initial resistance from local tribes. Rome established Britannia as a Roman province, integrating it into the empire’s economic and political system. This event marked the beginning of nearly four centuries of Roman rule on the island, shaping Britain’s development and history.
