How did England take over Ireland Scotland wales?

Answer 1

Parts of Wales were taken over along with England by the Normans. This started in 1066 when William the Conqueror invaded England and took over.

Edward I had conquered Wales by 1283.

After 1283, the land of Wales that was under the control of the King was called "The Principality". This area, about a third of Wales, was ruled as if it was part of England. As in England, the Principality was divided into shires which were governed by men appointed by the king. The more important towns in the principality were Aberystwyth, Harlech, Caernarvon and Conway. Two-thirds of Wales was still governed by what were called the "Marcher Lords". This was land that had been conquered by the Norman's during the 11th and 12th centuries.

England never took over Scotland, in fact somewhat of the opposite happened when in 1603 James VI of Scotland took over the English thrown to be come James I of England as well, however the countries was not unified until 1701 and Ireland was not included in the union until 1801.

The invasion of Ireland was a gradual process that started in 1139 by the Normans who also ruled England and parts of Wales. Ireland was attacked by English, Welsh and Scottish forces until the end of the Nine Years War in 1603. From then on any uprising in Ireland was repealed by British forces until 1922 when Ireland was split into two countries, Northern Ireland remained part of the United Kingdom and The Irish Free State (later the Republic of Ireland) gained independence.

Many thought that Ireland should be one independent country and the IRA or Irish Republican Army, funded by American-Irish business men, targeted terrorist attacks at the British for the majority of the 20th century.
