England is a state (Kingdom) within the United Kingdom of great Britain and Northern Ireland. The largest administrative and political part of the country. The population of England is 84% of the total UK population. The capital is London, the largest city in the United Kingdom.England became the Union of the once warring kingdoms in 927 and is named after the ancient Germanic tribe of England, which settled on the island of great Britain in the V—VI centuries.England is the birthplace of the English language and the Church of England, and English law forms the basis of legal systems in many countries of the world; in addition, London was the center of the British Empire, and the country — the place of the Industrial revolution. England was the first industrialized country, as well as a country with a parliamentary democracy, constitutional, governmental and legal innovations which were adopted by other Nations and States.The Kingdom of England, including the Principality of Wales, was a separate state until 1 may 1707, when it merged with the Kingdom of Scotland into the Kingdom of great Britain.

England got its name in honor of the English, a German tribe settled in Britain in the V and VI centuries ad. Some historians[what?] it is believed that this tribe was descended from those who lived on the Peninsula of Angeln, part of the Peninsula of Jutland, which is now part of Northern Germany.The first mention of angels are in the work called "Germany", written in 98 ad by the ancient Roman historian Tacitus.According to the Oxford English dictionary, the earliest known reference to the term "England" in relation to the southern part of the island of great Britain dates back to 897.

England occupies two thirds of the island of great Britain. It is bordered to the North by Scotland and to the West by Wales.The landscape of England consists mainly of sloping hills, to the North the area becomes more mountainous. Mountainous and flat terrain are conditionally divided along a line that passes between the mouth of the river Tees (Teesside) in the North-East and the mouth of the river EXE (Devon) in the South-West. To the East, there is a low-lying marshland, which was mostly drained for agricultural use.The six largest cities in England (descending population): London, Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield, Liverpool and Manchester.

The territory of modern England at the time of the invasion of Julius Caesar in 55 BC, as a century later, by the time of the capture of Emperor Claudius, was inhabited by Celtic tribes called the Britons. As a result of the capture of the entire southern part of the island (present-day England and Wales) became part of the Roman Empire before its collapse in the V century ad.Without the help of the Roman legions Of Roman Britain could not long resist the barbarians-Germans, who appeared in the V—VI centuries., as evidenced by the Chronicles, at the invitation of the Britons, who with their help hoped to protect themselves from the Celtic tribes from the North — the Picts and Scott. The aliens were three groups-Utah, Saxons and the English. Having mastered the territory of the Britons, these Germans began to push them into the territory of Wales and Cornwall. Over time, the occupied German aliens lands formed separate kingdoms, which formed, in particular, "Anglo-Saxon heptarchy" (Union of seven kingdoms). From time to time, one of the seven Anglo — Saxon kings, called the "Britwald", which can be loosely translated as "Ruler of Britain", was gaining control of most of England-so it's hard to name the moment when England was finally United .

According to some descriptions, the Union came together with the invasion of the Danish Vikings, who captured the Eastern part of England. Egbert, king of Wessex (died 839), is often called the first king of all England, though the title "King of England" arose only two generations later — during the reign of Alfred the Great (871-899).William I The ConquerorSome historians[what?] begin counting the rulers from the Norman conquest in 1066, the numbering of the English monarchs also uses this event as a zero point (for example, Edward I, crowned in the 13th century, was not the first king to have such a name — but he was the first Edward since 1066). But Wilhelm the Conqueror did not found or unite the country, but only captured the existing England, planting the Franco-Norman administration.At the end of XIII century, the neighboring Principality of Wales was finally conquered by England and became part of the English Kingdom. The history of England as an independent state goes through the middle Ages and the Revival to the period of the reign of Elizabeth I, the last Queen of the Tudor dynasty, after which was ruled by James I, the former king of Scotland under the name of James VI. The Union of England and Scotland was completed a century later by the Union Act (1707), which finally United England and Scotland into the Kingdom of great Britain. Kingdom of Great Britain).

After the reforms of the 1990s in Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland, England remained the only part of the United Kingdom that did not have its own Parliament and government. The Parliament of England is the Parliament of great Britain, the government is the government of great Britain. The Executive power, including responsibility for the territory of England, is headed by the Prime Minister of great Britain, which is currently Theresa may.Theresa MayThere is a movement to support the establishment of an independent Parliament and government in England. The dissatisfaction of the movement's supporters is the fact that while the decisions applied to one Scotland are made by the Scottish Parliament (and similarly to Wales and Northern Ireland), the decisions applied to one England are made by the national Parliament, where Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland deputies vote.The idea of an independent Parliament is supported by many members of the Conservative party, while the labour party believes that the creation of independent authorities in the largest part of the Kingdom will lead to a sharp reduction in the role of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and is fraught with the collapse of the state.

Historically, the largest administrative entity in England were counties. These formations originated from more ancient pre-unification kingdoms (like Sussex and Wessex), Duchies (like Yorkshire, Cornwall, and Lancashire), or simply estates that were awarded to nobles such as Berkshire. Until 1867, they were divided into smaller entities called the hundreds. Self-government within the County after the political unification was practically absent, so the boundaries of the counties were not precisely defined and had virtually no role. After the industrial revolution as a result of the emergence of large industrial centers formed Metropolitan counties, the centers of which became the largest city.Currently, England consists of 9 regions and 48 ceremonial counties.

Agriculture, industrial production, the high-tech industry and the sports industry play an important role in the English economy. In 2010, sport accounted for 1.9% of England's GDP, making it one of the 15 largest sectors of the English economy, ahead of such industries as communication services, legal services, accounting, publishing, advertising and utilities. In 2010, more than 400,000 jobs were associated with sports, or about 2.3% of all employment in England. According to experts, the health benefits of regular sports have brought the British economy £ 11.2 billion of mass sports competitions, such as marathons, increase awareness of their venues and increase revenues from tourism with minimal investment in infrastructure. The construction of new stadiums, such as the Millennium stadium in Cardiff and Etihad stadium in Manchester, has stimulated prices in local real estate markets.[3]

Although the Kingdom of England is a country with rich national traditions, it, strictly speaking, does not have a clearly defined national costume.Dance MorrisAs an example of the English folk costume are often costumes dancers performing dance Morris. It is danced in the summer in the villages. In the past, it was considered a ritual dance, and it was attributed to the magical value associated with the awakening of the earth. Different dance groups allow variations in the classic costume, which consists of black breeches with bells around the Shin, white shirt, waistcoat, and felt or straw hat, decorated with ribbons and flowers. The bells, like the flowers on the hat, are designed to protect from evil and bring fertility. Initially, this dance was performed only by men, but now it involves women.In addition, there is a point of view according to which the basis of the national English costume should take the dress of the Anglo-Saxon tribes that inhabited the territory of modern Kent in VII—VIII centuries BC Men wore typical girded light canvas trousers (his shirt had a small cut on his chest, which was pulled together with a drawstring, laced crosswise) and dark trousers

On the belt hung a dagger. Women wore bright, long-skirted linen shirt, over which was worn belted nesostojavshijsja women's Kaftan.However, in the UK there are some professional differences in clothing, in its details. For example, workers wear capes and dockers in port cities tie a motley kerchief around their necks; many older farmers prefer to wear long-out of fashion three-piece suits and felt hats. Even now in the business districts of the city you can see the clerks, dressed in a long tradition in exactly the same way: narrow striped pants, black jacket, high white collar, bowler hat on his head, and in the hands of the same black umbrella.
