English history spans thousands of years, beginning with the arrival of the Romans in 43 AD. After the fall of the Roman Empire, various tribes, including the Saxons and Vikings, invaded and settled in England. The Norman Conquest in 1066 marked a significant turning point, leading to the establishment of a feudal system and the introduction of Norman culture. Over the centuries, England experienced major events such as the Magna Carta in 1215, which limited the power of the monarchy, and the English Civil War in the 17th century, which challenged royal authority. The Industrial Revolution in the 18th and 19th centuries transformed the economy and society, paving the way for modern England.
