Message subject: Great Britain

Important information:

The name of the country

Great Britain is a country with many names. In Russia we often call it simply England, or Britain, or Foggy Albion, or Great Britain. In fact, the full name of the country is written as: United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The fact is that this country united several historically independent regions: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Country on the map

The United Kingdom is located on several islands in the Atlantic Ocean. She has land border with only one state - Ireland. Other neighbors from England are separated either by the English Channel or the North Sea. For example, across the English Channel from the British Isles are France, Belgium and the Netherlands, and on the other side North Sea Germany, Denmark and Norway. If you swim along Atlantic Ocean far to the north, then Iceland can also be called a neighbor of England.

From the history of the country

The history of the country is rich in a variety of events. It is believed that the first people settled on the islands 30,000 years ago. These were the tribes of Celts, Britons and Gaels. At the beginning of our era, the islands were conquered by the Roman Empire, which ruled there for 400 years.

After this, the peoples living on the islands gradually began to form their own states. Thus, in the 9th century the Kingdom of Scotland appeared, in the 10th century - the Kingdom of England, Wales and Ireland also emerged. Over the centuries, the countries of the British Isles fought numerous wars both among themselves and with their neighbors, especially France. They united in alliances and disintegrated, seized each other's territories and grew into overseas colonies.

By the end of the 16th century, the small kingdoms of England and Scotland turned into the huge British Empire, which over several centuries became the largest state in the entire history of mankind. The empire included all of the British Isles, the colonies in Africa, all of India, most of North America, all of Australia and vast territories in Asia and Oceania. At the beginning of the 20th century, a quarter of the world's population was under the rule of the British Crown. The collapse of the British Empire lasted almost the entire last century, but it is impossible to say that this process is over even now.

Flag and coat of arms

The flag of Great Britain, like the country itself, has been modified many times. Now on its cloth there are several symbols depicted, symbolizing the main parts of the country: the cross of St. George symbolizes England, the cross of St. Andrew symbolizes Scotland and the cross of St. Patrick symbolizes Ireland. In addition, a proposal to add a red dragon, the symbol of Wales, to the flag is currently under discussion.

The coat of arms of the United Kingdom also combines the symbols of all parts of the state: a shield with the coats of arms of England, Scotland, and Ireland is held by a lionized leopard and a rising silver unicorn; above the shield is a helmet with a royal crown and a golden crowned leopard.

Nature and its protection

The British Isles have a mild temperate climate. The Gulf Stream, which carries its waters near the islands, brings a lot of humid air and protects from frost and cold. So it’s not for nothing that Great Britain is called Foggy Albion. Fog appears here regularly, it rains often, and the sky is often overcast.

The north and west of Great Britain (Scotland and Wales) are predominantly mountainous, while the south and east (England) are more common on plains and small hills. In Northern Ireland there are green valleys, gentle hills and small mountains. Northern Ireland is also home to the most big lake United Kingdom - Lough Neagh.

In ancient times, almost the entire territory of the British Isles was covered with forests. Then the forests began to be cut down, and on the site of the vacated land they began to create pastures and fields. Almost half of the UK's land is now devoted to pasture. There are 10 times fewer forests left than there were before human development of the islands.

That is why the country is currently paying special attention to forest restoration and nature conservation. The United Kingdom has created a whole system of National Parks designed to preserve the unique landscapes and ecosystems of England, Scotland and Wales. The largest of them are Broads, Dartmoor and Exmoor. Here you can admire beautiful natural scenery and see the habitats of UK wildlife.

Population and culture

There are now more than 63 million people living in the UK, and the country's population is constantly growing as people from many countries seek to move to England permanently. All inhabitants of the United Kingdom are called British, and they speak English language. Of them most of English (approximately 80%), and also many Welsh (Welsh), Scots and Irish. Also in Great Britain live many representatives of Africa, Asia and people from its former colonies: Indians, Vietnamese and Pakistanis.

British culture is rich and varied. She had a huge influence on the development of culture and art around the world. But the special influence of British culture is noticeable in countries that were previously colonies of the British Empire - there English traditions visible in language, in the legal system, in culture, and in art.

One of the most strengths The culture of Great Britain is British literature. William Shakespeare, Daniel Defoe, H.G. Wells, Alan Milne, Rudyard Kipling, Agatha Christie, John Tolkien, JK Rowling - the list of famous English writers goes on and on. Many generations of people grew up on these books, not only in Great Britain, but all over the world, including here in Russia.

The British industry is no less rich in bright names. musical culture: The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Elton John - these are just the world's most famous musical groups and performers. Paintings by English artists decorate art galleries in the most different countries. We watch films by English directors and with English actors with great pleasure, both in cinemas and on television. For example, who doesn't know Harry Potter or James Bond?

Economy

Great Britain has a very strong and developed economy. It is the second-largest economy in Europe, surpassed only by the German economy. London is recognized worldwide Finance center, and the British currency Pound Sterling is the third largest reserve currency in the world (after the dollar and the euro).

Almost all types of industry are developed in the United Kingdom: automobile manufacturing, aviation industry, textile industry, shipbuilding, pharmaceutical industry, Agriculture etc. In addition, the service sector, which is also incredibly developed in the British Isles, makes a huge contribution to the economy.

Attractions

Windsor castle- the official residence of the monarchs of Great Britain. This is one of the oldest and largest castles in the world. It was founded in 1070 by the first king of England, William I the Conqueror. By the way, the surname of the current British kings Windsor comes from the name of this castle.

Big Ben- a huge bell that is located in the clock tower Palace of Westminster. The weight of the bell is almost 14 tons, and it was cast in 1859. Many people call Big Ben not only the bell, but also the clock and the entire clock tower, but this is not true. Officially, the tower in which the Big Ben bell is located is called the Elizabeth Tower in honor of the current Queen of Great Britain.

Westminster Abbey- the most famous temple in England. It was built in the 13th century and since then has been the only temple in which kings of the United Kingdom are crowned.

Tower Bridge- one of the main symbols of London. It is located right in the center of the British capital and attracts considerable attention from tourists. Indeed, the bridge looks very interesting. We can say that it is two-level: on the first level there is a drawable roadway, and on the second, at an altitude of 44 meters from the first part, there is a pedestrian road that can be used even when the bridge is raised. The towers house staircases and huge elevators for pedestrians. True, after the opening of the bridge, this method of crossing to the other side of the river turned out to be too expensive and was no longer used. Now all the mechanisms are working again and tourists can use the 30-person elevator and stroll through the gallery above the Thames.

Stonehenge - an ancient temple of Celtic Druids, which is located approximately 130 kilometers southwest of London. Stonehenge was built from huge stones - menhirs, which by some miracle were built in the right circle. But according to scientists, the structure was created approximately 5,000 years ago. Nobody knows for sure why Stonehenge was built, but many agree that it was a sanctuary of the Druids - the priests of the ancient Celts.

Loch Ness- a large lake in Scotland. It was formed as a result of the melting of the glacier. The lake is very elongated, and its depth reaches 230 meters, and the waters of Loch Ness are very muddy. Perhaps such characteristics of the lake became the reason for the appearance of the legend of the Loch Ness monster? Nobody knows this. But on the shore of the lake there is a museum of the Loch Ness monster, and travel agencies are happy to take tourists around the most scenic routes and promise to show a mysterious monster.

Famous people

Great Britain is the homeland of a huge number of world famous people. For example, the most famous queen in the world is the reigning Queen of the United Kingdom, Elizabeth II. Also, the whole world knows the politicians of England: Princess Diana, Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher.

However, the most famous were and are the creative people born in the British Isles: writer William Shakespeare, scientist Isaac Newton, explorer and founder of the theory of evolution Charles Darwin, actor and director Charlie Chaplin, traveler James Cook, singer Paul McCartney, writers Charles Dickens and John Tolkien , football player David Beckham and many many others.
