A little bit about Britain

Great Britain is an island nation: it is located on the British Isles. This state has an amazing and rich history. In ancient times, the island was inhabited by Celtic tribes. Once Britain was just a remote province of the huge Roman Empire, which undoubtedly influenced the development and formation of the future empire.

Subsequently, the power (as well as the size of the territory) it increased until a great British Empire was formed. However, in the middle of the last century the country again shrank to its original size. At the same time, by the way, she did not lose her power, nor international respect.

The culture of Great Britain is rich in traditions and customs, and has a strong influence on the culture of the entire world community. First and foremost, this is, of course, English, which is a state language in many countries of the world and is rightly considered the language of international communication. In addition, people speaking this language, on the planet there are over one and a half billion.



Mainly, this is due to the fact that the country has maintained strong cultural ties with countries that in the past were only dominions or British colonies - especially with those where English is recognized as state language, for example, Canada, the USA or Australia.

Speaking about British culture, it should be borne in mind that a significant contribution to its development was made by numerous Indian immigrants, as well as many of those who moved here from the countries of the Caribbean.

By its political structure, Great Britain is a democratic country. In Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland there are separate governments, but the supreme authority in the territory of the whole kingdom is the parliament.

The government is headed by the monarch, but the queen performs only representative functions, the country is directly governed by the prime minister, who is appointed by the king or queen.
