“I was thinking of very old times, when the Romans first came here, nineteen hundred years ago” (5).
In 43 A.D., the Roman Empire expanded into what is today called England. Emperor Claudius sent men into southern England, which was quickly taken over by the Romans. This invasion lends to the first ever written history of England. Around 400 A.D. the Romans withdrew to defend their homeland, leaving England to fend for itself and prosper into the country it is today.
