Britain & Ireland
The British Isles have a long and rich history. The islands and their peoples have played a crucial role in shaping their own history as well as those of people across Europe and around the globe. Conversely, the ideas and people of Europe and the world have helped to form and create the events and people of the UK. British history records tell us of centuries of past events and actions, while archaeological evidence has provided us with information from still further back.
