- The first group of people who lived in the British island was the Celts.
- Around 55 B.C. Julius Caesar, one of the greatest Roman emperors, led his army to attack the Celt and occupy England.
- The Romans brought great prosperity to England during its occupation.
- They built roads, gutters, and public baths.
- They also introduced Latin language and laws to England.
- After the reign of Caesar, the Roman Empire was not so great as before.
- This decline gave the barbarians an opportunity to invade Rome.
- The Roman soldiers in England were back to protect their country.
- After the Roman soldiers had left England, another group of barbarians—The Anglo-Saxon—took advantages of the situation to attack and occupy England.
- Around the ninth century, King Alfred the great—a king of the Saxons—led his army to attack other groups of the Anglo-Saxon.
- He united small groups into one great Kingdom, called Engla land.
