The land of Britain was once considered a myth by the mighty Roman Empire.
To them, it was nothing more than an old legend.

This would change in the year 55 BC, when Julius Caesar set his sights on this fabled island and sailed towards its shores.

The historical discovery would end in defeat.
Almost a century later, the Romans found glory when Roman Emperor Claudius stepped foot on British soil.

Here they conquered magnificent castles and cities, and left their mark on the land.
They set their eyes on Stonehenge, using the sacred site for their worship and rituals.
Londinium was established, and the Romans seized control of the land.

But what happened next in the history of the United Kingdom? To understand the story of this fascinating land, we must start from the very beginning…

The United Kingdom has played a huge role in developing democracy, literature, and science all around the world. In the 19th century, at the peak of its growth, the British Empire was spread over a quarter of the globe. In fact, It was once said that the sun never sets on the British Empire, which is a testament to how much influence the country had on the world.
We will take a look right back to the birth of the country, which was to become one of the most powerful and widespread civilizations on the planet.
