History of England

The history of England spans over a millennium, beginning with early settlements and the influence of the Romans. After the fall of Rome, various tribes, including the Angles and Saxons, established kingdoms. The Norman Conquest in 1066 united England under William the Conqueror. Key events include the signing of the Magna Carta in 1215, the Wars of the Roses in the 15th century, and the establishment of the Tudor dynasty. The English Civil War in the 17th century led to temporary republicanism, followed by the Restoration. The Industrial Revolution transformed society, paving the way for modern England as a parliamentary democracy.
