Julius Caesar, having just finished conquering Gaul (France) in 55BC, set his sights on Britain. Though he made two attempts to conquer Britain, both of them failed - partly because of the weather, partly because of the Britons.
but in AD 43, the best part of a century later, Claudius made a successful invasion of Britain But this was by no means the end. though some chieftains surrendered to the Romans, some fought on, such as Caratacus who continued to resist the Romans till his death, even though he was gradually being pushed further and further West.
The Romans finally conquered Britain in AD 43.
It took only a few years to establish their rule, even though they were met with fairly continuous resistance by some British chiefs and warriors. these rebellions had little impact on the main part of Romanised Britain

∙ 12y agoThe first known invasion of Britain was by Julius Caesar in 55 BC.
The Romans first invaded Britain in 55 BC under Julius Caesar. They withdrew and did not officially make Britain a province until 43 AD. However, that is not to say that there was no Roman presence in Britain before 43, they just didn't "own" it before that time.

∙ 14y agoJulius Caesar was the first Roman to invade Britain. He attempted to do so twice. The first was in 55BC this was a failure, as Caesar was unable to hold his position and was forced to withdraw. The second was a partial success and resulted in setting up a Roman friendly king, Mandubracius and forcing the tribes of eastern England to pay tribute to the Romans.
The third and true invasion of Britain was in 43 AD and was ordered by Emperor Claudius, in part to win an easy victory for Claudius to solidify his position as the Roman emperor.
The invasion was run by general Aulus Plautius who was given command of twenty thousand men (four legions). These legions were Legio II Augusta, Legio IX Hispana,Legio XX Valeria Victrix and Legio XIV Gemina
