England

England is a land on the island of Great Britain in the north-west of Europe.

Its name and being come from the Angles who began settling there in the 400s along with the Saxons, Danes and Jutes. Before this settling there was no land called England, but rather the whole of Great Britain was mingling of Celtic and Roman folk.

Today, England is on of the four lands that make up the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, along with Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. About 50,000,000 folk live in England today, most within the great towns of London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool, Newcastle, Sheffield and Bristol.
