AMERICA’S GEOGRAPHY

Geographically speaking, the United

Kingdom is pastoral terrain; in reality,

pastures and farm fields make up 70% of

its land, with only 10% of it being

forested. The size of England is

somewhat larger than the entirety of the

United Kingdom. A large portion of rural

England is dotted with tiny towns, and

the country shares borders with southern

Wales and northern Scotland.

Generally speaking, England's area is

made up of a broad, level eastern plain

that runs alongside the northern sea

and a sizable, rolling central lowland.

The Cumbia and Pennines are the two

largest mountain ranges in England, and

they are situated in the far north. The

tallest peak in this area is 3200 feet high,

and it is divided into nine sections.

Known as the third largest nation in the world, the United States of America

is situated in North America and is bounded to the west by the Pacific

Ocean and to the east by the Atlantic Ocean, which runs along Canada's

northern border and Mexico's southern border.

The United States of America is the official name of the country, which has

a total area of 3,794,083 square miles and Washington, D.C., as its capital.

With an elevation of 20,308 feet, Denali in Alaska is the tallest peak in this

area. At -282 feet, the well-known Death Valley is the lowest peak in this

area.

HISTORY

The original English were Angles, Saxons and Jutes of northern Germany

and the Baltic region who took over the Roman province of Britannia as

the Roman empire collapsed. The indigenous ‘Britons’ maintained their

hold in Wales and Cornwall, as did the Picts in northern Scotland, but

otherwise the whole – island including the south of modern-day- Scotland

–was overrun by these Ánglo- Saxons.’

In due course they adopted Christianity, thereby tying their fortunes

directly to the Roman Church. They also developed a flourishing and

wealthy culture which attracted the unwelcome attention of the ‘Viking’

(pirate) peoples of Scandinavia, who descended on ‘Angle-land’(i.e.

England) and for a time conquered and ruled the northern part of it. The

wars of resistance against the Vikings helped unite the English kingdoms

and eventually produced the first Saxon king of all England, Æthelstan.

Anglo-Saxon England developed its own distinctive language and highly

sophisticated culture, until in 1066 it was attacked and overrun by

Normans from northern France. For some 300 years after that, England

was tied closely to France, with a French-speaking monarchy and ruling

class. The English became a subservient people in their own land.

Over time, however, these French overlords became ‘anglicised’ through

intermarriage with the English, and –with some French additions –English

became the common language of all classes. It was these French

‘English’ rulers who launched the successful ‘English’ conquests of Ireland

and Wales; in Scotland, however, King Robert the Bruce managed to resist

invasion and Scotland remained a separate kingdom. Medieval England

was a wealthy country, flourishing on trade in fine woolen cloth and

notable for its vibrant enthusiasm for the Catholic Church

longest; Missouri, and Colorado.
