Great Britain was originally settled by Celts and Picts, later conquered by Angles, then by Romans, then by Saxons, then by Normans. The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain and resulted in enormous power and wealth for Britain which, in its day, was the center of the largest empire the world had ever seen. But the colonies of the British Empire have all gained their independence by now, leaving only the Falkland Islands off the coast of Argentina. Today the British economy is largely dependent upon the revenue of the North Sea oil wells. Britain has had one of the most interesting histories of any nation on Earth, and its political, cultural, and scientific influence has been incalculable.
