Oliver Cromwell, Political Leader II
Oliver Cromwell was Lord Protector of England for much of the 1650s, ruling in place of the country's traditional monarchy. In the 1640s a civil war broke out between supporters of King Charles I (the Royalists) and of Parliament (the so-called Roundheads). Cromwell was a Roundhead military leader in a long series of civil war battles, which ended with Charles I imprisoned and finally beheaded in 1649. By 1653, Parliamentary squabbling led Cromwell to take control as head of state, in essence overseeing a military dictatorship.

该国，我们正在研究的全称是大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国。这是一个什么在许多方面是一个复杂的国家复杂的名字。大多数人都知道做些什么，因为它的庞大的海外帝国给它一个重要的国际作用，只是来到一个在未来数年年底，之后第二次世界大战。然而，一些市民对英国知道（他们可能会呼吁干脆英国或错误，英格兰）可能不大如何最真实的英国人今天过自己的生活。
一方面，帝国的日子已经足够长的时间以前，只有老人记得他们的任何东西是生活中的重要性。英国不再是一个帝国的国家，尽管其帝国的影响可能常常在遇到的各种方式，而不是在与50或更多曾是这个帝国的一部分，和国家之间的密切关系，至少它通过一个松散的维持（自愿）组织的联系称为英联邦国家。但更重要的英国国际关系今天是欧洲联盟，其中英国1973年以来的成员，这是在考虑更有用现代英国强调它的作用作为一个欧洲国家，而不是其英联邦成员资格。它仍然是一个相对富裕的国家，是7国集团成员的大型发达经济体。
另外一个旧帝国的作用明显成效在于弥补的英国人口本身。从这些英联邦国家，这在20世纪50年代和60年代鼓励一些移民，已制作了其中1人在20个非欧洲种族。他们自己或其父母或祖父母，出生在印度或巴基斯坦，加勒比国家，这些只是最常见的。
这将引入什么是对英国的章节关键主题：因为是大多数情况下，或所有，国家是不可能总结了一些简单的对话英国人民。英国认为谁，很多人认为的英国绅士。但是，这仅仅是一个旧有的从未适用于英国绝大多数人来说，没有什么真正的有效性今天。英国是一个国家，一个单一的护照，和一个政府及对其所有的主权，但作为国家的大力顾名思义，它是由不同的元素组成。它包括4一个国家内的部分国家：大不列颠岛是由英格兰，苏格兰和威尔士，北爱尔兰，一份关于爱尔兰邻近的岛屿省份，完成设置。因此，在讨论英国和英国的一些考虑，必须使这些分歧，例如：一个来自苏格兰的女人不会高兴，如果我们打电话给她的英国绅士？她是苏格兰和女性，并认为她的身份从不同的男人和不同的英语。
但是，这4个组成部分之间的区别的国家只有一个，也许是最简单的，不同的是分裂联合王国。有人已经指出，英国现在是一个多种族社会，这些移民是最近才集团带来了自己的文化，这与他们并肩坐在一起，与生活更加传统的英国方式方方面，例如，许多穆斯林，而大多数（名英国人至少）是基督教徒。并明确在我的苏格兰妇女的例子涉及的是事实，人和女人没有生活在英国同样的经历。此外，英国经济分为：它是一个阶级结构的社会。很可能夸大了这个阶级的重要性，因为结构的过程中，大多数国家有一些一流的一种制度，但它确实可以说，对英国社会的阶级结构是比较明显的。一名工厂工人，他的父亲是工厂的工人很可能会从股票经纪，父亲是一名股票经纪人，不同的文化：他们将倾向于读不同的报纸，看不同的电视节目，用不同的说话口音，在做不同的事情他们的自由时间，对自己的孩子有不同的期望。
另一个不同之处，这标志着英国社会就是区域。即使在四个国家，每个地区的不同：高地之间的差异和低地苏格兰有着悠久的历史意义，例如：北部和南部英格兰队也被认为是文化不同，但它们之间的边界上没有标记任何地图，只存在一个比较笼统的精神风貌。然而，有一些是在经济方面的区别的基础，南部平均较富裕的北方。
部分之间的北部和南部的另一个区别，这标志着英国社会，一个可以看到在许多社会中，但有可能尤其明显，在英国，也就是资本之间的区别和不同的经济差别的原因找到了省份。伦敦是在该国南部，并在英国占主导地位的各种方式。这是迄今为止该国最大的城市，约占全国人口的七分之一，它是政府的所在地，它是文化中心，这里是所有的主要报纸，电视台，与遥遥领先的最广泛选择画廊，剧院和博物馆。此外它是商业中心，在英国大公司总部的绝大多数，是国家的金融中心，三个主要的国际金融中心之一。因此，它结合了北京，上海，广州，还是纽约，华盛顿和洛杉矶的职能，在一个城市。并鉴于其长期在英国的历史作用，
也许西安呢！伦敦是英国的经济和文化生活的巨大影响力，并在一定程度上在其阴影的国家中休息。
England
Population (1994) 48.7 million (UK total 58.4 million)
Area 130 423 km2 (UK total 241 752 km2)
英国是一个高度城市化的国家，其80个城市的人口居住在％，而只有2的农业劳动人口％。其最大的城市是首都，伦敦，这是在英国统治在各个领域：政府，金融，和文化。英国物理上的四国最大的，它是迄今最多的人口。在规模优势，这反映在文化和经济优势也具有其结果是外国人士有时约英格兰交谈时他们指的是英国的错误。值得注意的是，在英国的人有时也犯类似的错误，但在其他三个国家的人不会：他们会称自己为英国（如可能的英文），否则可能会称自己为苏格兰或威尔士和爱尔兰，但是，他们肯定不会自称（或喜欢被称为）英语。因此，奇怪的是，四国，英国大多数英国人认为，因此，作为一个独立的“英语”对自己最薄弱的文化，在英国。
英国历史上一直是侵略的历史。之前，公元一世纪，英国是组成许多人的凯尔特部落王国：一个强大的文化源自欧洲中部。在43AD当时英国入侵的罗马帝国，英格兰和威尔士（虽然不是苏格兰和爱尔兰），成为了近400年罗马帝国的一部分。由于罗马帝国受到来自东面的威胁来了，罗马军队和罗马保护撤出英国，英国再次为小王国分裂，它再次受到来自外部的威胁，这从日耳曼民族时间：角度，和撒克逊人。
其中最著名的传说源于英文本的时间。在公元5世纪，据说是一位伟大的领导人出现，统一了英国人，他的神奇的剑，神剑，推动了撒克逊人回来。这是亚瑟王的故事，并已通过歌手，诗人，小说家，甚至制片人至今点缀。
虽然亚瑟王的真实存在的疑问，您可以访问他的传说，如悬崖边缘的廷塔杰尔城堡在康沃尔，相关的地方。根据传说亚瑟的骑士聚集一公司给他，谁坐在阿瑟一起在卡米洛特城堡（可能是真实的吉百利在萨默塞特山山顶堡垒）。他的骑士之间的冲突导致亚瑟创造了著名的“圆桌会议”时，都将具有相同优先级。这也许可以看作是在其中的英国人，也希望看到他们都不是一个远程君主独裁者其他方式的指标，并在管理成为一个更民主的制度，逐步约束君主的事实，而不是完全拒绝它。
不管亚瑟的成功，不是传说，但并没有持续，对盎格鲁撒克逊人确实成功地入侵英国，要么吸收凯尔特人人，或迫使他们到英国西部和北部边缘。尽管人们对当代英语亚瑟王认为他们的英雄，他实在是对他们的斗争，这些盎格鲁撒克逊侵略者英语的祖先，在“角创始人土地”或“英格兰”，因为它成为众所周知的。
两个侵略者的团体来英国后，从8世纪后期的：，袭击者来自斯堪的纳维亚，凶恶的海盗，威胁到英国的海岸。在英格兰长大，他们的定居点，直到英格兰北部和东部的广大地区在其控制。届时，英国的英雄是真正的英语（盎格鲁撒克逊人），如阿尔弗雷德大帝，谁把在打击海盗南部的潮流。仍然有一定的这一天北方人之间在英国，南方人的文化鸿沟的同时不自觉地“撒克逊人”与“丹麦人”，可能在这个时候它的起源。较富裕的南方人倾向于认为是自己的尖端不到北方人，而北方人认为南方人傲慢和不友好的。它们还具有明显的特点是不同的口音。
下一个侵略者的诺曼，来自法国北部，谁都是海盗的后裔。在诺曼底威廉（称为“征服者威廉”），他们在1066年越过英吉利海峡，并在黑斯廷斯战役，哈罗德国王下击败英国
