What hampered the Roman empire from taking control of the areas in Great Britain it had invaded?
ChuckSiata
The Romans taook control of England east of the line between the Humber and the Servern estuaries and of Devon very quickly. Four years late they begun a campaign against the tribes of Wales, and the Cheshire Gap and the Silures of southeast Wales put up resistance. They were defeated three years later. there was further resistance and it took 26 years to finally subdue the Silures. The Romans did not push any further until the beginning of the reign of Nero four year later. Nero seems to have ordered further invasion. Fighting against the mountain tribes of northern Wales took place for six years. The Romans then crushed the druids in Anglesey. The Romans did not push into northern England, because the Brigantes, the dominant tribe in the area, were Roman allies. However, when Venutius, the husband of Cartimandua, their queen, rebelled against her and the Romans, the Romans pushed north to York and defeated him. Eight years later Agricola suppressed a rebellion in north Wales and pushed into the north of England again extending Roman control to southern Scotland.
The Romans did not retain control over Scotland, which they invaded three times. This was because they withdrew. Agricola, who led the first invasion, was recalled to Rome. It is most likely that some of the Roman legions were redeployed by Domitian to fight a war against the Dacians in the Balkan Peninsula. The Romans pushed into southern Scotland again , probably under Antoninus Pius, and built a wall between the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Clyde (the Antonine Wall), but withdrew back to Hadrian's Wall. The reasons for both the push and the withdrawal are unknown. Later, Septimius Severus pushed into Scotland and subdued the Caledonians who, however, rebelled. Septimius resumed his campaign and vowed to exterminate them. However, he died. His sons, Geta and Caracalla, were not interested in Scotland and returned to Rome to engage in a power struggle, each of them trying to outdo the other to become the sole emperor. Caracalla had Geta assassinated. After this the Romans never engaged in campaigns in Scotland

∙ 8y agoLong after Caesar's adventures in Great Britain, a concerted effort was made to expand the Roman Empire by consolidating the gains it made with its invasion of Britain in 43 AD CE. The problem Rome faced was guerrilla warfare within Britain. It took Rome four years to end the resistance and consolidate its gains.

Which empire controlled Britain at once?
This is a complex question since "Britain" includes England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. The only empire to control all of these countries was the British Empire. Other Empires controlled only parts of Britain. The Roman Empire controlled most of Britain between AD43 and AD410, but never managed to capture the whole of Scotland, drawing the border between The River Tyne and the Solway Firth (Hadrian's Wall); the Romans also never conquered Ireland. The next Empire to control part of Britain was the Viking confederation which invaded England in AD865. King Canute ruled over a United English Kingdom from 1016 to 1035, but after his death this Viking Empire fell apart and in 1042 the country was under the control of the Anglo-Saxon King Edward the Confessor. When he died, England suffered its next invasion by a foreign empire. The Normans under William the Conquerer invaded Britain in 1066. They succeeded in occupying Ireland and Wales, but again never managed to controll the whole of Scotland. However they gradually became British and the final incorporation of Scotland into the British Empire occurred peacefully on 24th March 1603 when James the Fourth of Scotland ascended the English Throne as King James the First of England. This control over the whole of Britain lasted until 1922 when the Irish Free State left the Union.
