Do you know which countries invaded Britain in history?
1, Roman invasion In 55 AD and 54 years before, G.J. Caesar led Rome to invade Britain twice, but both were defeated by the British. Look at the British people at this time, either very strong and unyielding. The two invasions of Britain failed, and the Roman emperor was unwilling. In 43 AD, the Roman emperor Tiberius Claudius Drusus Nero Germanicus led his troops to successfully invade Britain and put Britain under the control of the Roman kingdom.

In the southeast of England, where the Romans were in power, the top royal families of the Romans and Celts occupied the land resources of the tribe, established a slave society grange, turned Celts and prisoners into slaves and forced them to work hard. To make matters worse, slave traders also sold slaves to the European continent. At this time, the British people lived a daily life worse than pigs and dogs, and were sold as livestock, which also inspired the British people's concept of resistance. It took more than 300 years of resistance to drive the Romans away.

2. After the Germans invaded and the Romans were driven away, Germanic tribes such as Anglo-Saxon began to invade Britain in the middle of the 5th century. They looted towns and villages, some British people were slaughtered or enslaved, some were deported to remote mountainous areas, or assimilated by invaders, resulting in English people. The robbers walked one wave after another, and each time they insulted the British more and more.

3. Danish invasion (Viking invasion) gradually began in the 8th century, and the Vikings invaded Britain many times. By the beginning of the 9th century, the Vikings had established a large settlement on the island of Great Britain. In order to resist the Vikings, egbert, King of Wessex, unified seven countries on the British Island in 827, and created a unified kingdom of England. As we all know, the overall strength of the Kingdom of England cannot completely drive away the Vikings in Denmark. In 879, Alfred signed a humiliating cession treaty with the Danes, ceding the northeast of England to Denmark, which was called the "Danish area". Although Alfred's successor gradually occupied Denmark, the Danes came again at the beginning of the new century 1 1. King Knut Saint of Denmark led the army to capture Britain and became king of England himself.

Denmark is the protectorate of the Vikings, who paid tribute to the Danish king and occupied the land border for him. The notorious vikings in history killed innocent people everywhere, including dozens of countries and regions such as Northern Europe, the Baltic Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. , became a nightmare in Europe and China at that time, Britain naturally won't ignore. During the Danish occupation, due to frequent wars and complicated taxes, especially a large amount of "Danish gold", random farmers closed down and began to rely on agriculture. The king gave land resources to the secular royal family in the form of imperial edict, and endowed the secular landlords with "privileged rights", that is, the right to promote the peasants attached to the city to carry out all-round governance such as administration, economic development, laws and regulations. This method accelerated the serfdom of farmers.

4. Normandy Invasion William, Duke of Normandy (descendant of Danish Vikings), invaded in 1066 and entered London in the same year 10. He was crowned King William I of England, known as "William the Conqueror", and the Norman Dynasty was founded. From then on, Britain became stronger and stronger, and gradually became the core of Europe from its neighboring countries, preventing other Chinese nations in Europe from invading again.
