About the UK

I wrote this with Taishi.

Many things have happened until today to form today’s UK. It originated such a long time ago, -upper paleolithic, from 5 to 6 century, by one of the Germanic tribes. At that time, a first part of the UK, England, was formed. Hundreds of years later, England was attacked by France and lost large parts of its own land, mainly Wales, Ireland, and Scotland. And another centuries later, because of subsequent attacks by kings of England,  England recovered Wales and changed its name to Kingdom of England at 1536. England attacked Ireland also, but it failed this time.
