Which Country Colonised England? (5926 Views)

The use of ‘country’ here is problematic. When England was substantially colonised (quite some time before it was ‘England’, in fact), the modern conception of nation-states did not exist. The colonists themselves were not representing anything we would recognise as a ‘country’, so the term cannot be applied accurately. Prehistoric colonists remain largely unknown, to the best of my knowledge. Archaeology demonstrates that migration was a factor even in neolithic times, but we can’t know the extent of it. Celtic culture certainly arrived from somewhere, at some point, but when and whence are unknown and possibly unknowable. The Romans conquered the British mainland south of the Hadrian/Antonine Walls, and colonies were founded during the period of their rule. After the Roman Empire withdrew, invaders/colonists came from all over northern Europe (mainly the coastal regions of modern , Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and others - but before any of these places were organised into ‘countries’). The most recent were the Normans who followed William the Conqueror and his successors. The Normans had more of a national identity, but calling Normandy a ‘country’ would be a stretch.

I don't think England was ever colonised. I understand Ethiopia is the only African country that was never colonised.

After the fall of the Roman empire due to constant war, there were lots of break up factions and other tribes coming to form new empire such as Constantinople, Byzantine etc. The British was among the Byzantine it got invaded by the vikings, it broke up yet again then British became autonomous but still under the watch of the pope of the Roman Catholic, then one of the sons of the then British king broke out with some people and called themselves Francs () after the death of the then British king. There was constant war between and Britain which the pope eventually settled but to the benefit of the francs. British just went their way trying to protect her kingdom eversince and doing away with the roman Catholics and stop taking orders from the pope but their King/Queen.

Ethiopia was never colonized for the following reasons. Part II. We were initially defeated and occupied for 5 years because we failed to invest in military advancement. The nation was stable (for about 40 years) hence the leaders didn’t prioritize military advancement. Instead, Emperor Haileselassie was invested in expanding schools. He blames ‘uneducated-ness’ for the defeat. Nonetheless we beat the enemy due to the same reasons above, with different forms/stories. |

Angles Jutes and Saxons literally occupied most part of Britain and suppressed the original culture of the people. Later the Romans colonized them but lost interest because the western empire was falling.
