La Manche is the French name for the English Channel, the 22-mile wide strait that separates England from continental Europe. Great Britain's status as an island has shaped the national character, helping make the British a naval power, a trading nation, a settler of far-flung places such as North America and Australia, and a country that is of two minds about its place in Europe. In part because of its island nature, Britain has not been successfully invaded since 1066.
