What did England look like in 40 AD?

In 40 AD, England had not yet been conquered by the Roman empire. The emperor Caligula attempted to conquer Britain in 40 AD but failed. At this time, England would've been inhabited by Celtic tribes (the Anglo-Saxons had not yet arrived) and the people would've been living in small tribal villages, in thatched round huts. Hill forts would've dotted the landscape, but rather than the large stone castles of Medieval times that England is known for today, the hill forts would've been nothing more than primitive earthworks and wooden defenses. Even though metal-working was prevalent in Celtic Britain, things such as concrete, paved roads, aqueducts, stone buildings, and the like wouldn't be introduced to the area until the emperor Claudius conquered the island and imported Roman culture to it. Claudius came to power in 41 AD, and conquered Britain in 43 AD.

What it means in English is lightning war, and the term "blitz" is applied to the bombings of various cities in Britain during the Second World War.More technically, it was the coordinated invasion by aerial bombing and motorized infantry that conquered Poland in September, 1939, and France and Belgium in May, 1940. The sea invasion of Britain from across the Channel never materialized, in part due to the resources expended on the Eastern Front against the Soviet Union.
