Hello, everyone
Welcome to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It is a country with a long history. It was once ruled by the Romans, the Anglo-Saxons, the Vikings and the Normans respectively from the 1st century to the 11th century. However, it was the joining of Wales, Scotland and Ireland, as well as the breaking away of southern Ireland that made the full name that we use today. These four countries share the same currency but also keep their traditions. Only by learning the history of the UK can we develop a deeper insight into the culture of this country.
