What major events happened in ENGLAND'S History.?

[Smiley]

I'm trying to find this out For my Country report at school,

What Major events/wars happened in Englands history.

Rember that Britain is a whole different country than England. England is a country within a country.

Thanks,
Amanda
All periods just need a few items to put in an essay like ten in wars and ten in events. Thanks!

England has a very long history - what period are you covering?

England's history covers over 2,000 years. That's an awful long time.

Major conflicts would include:
- the Roman conquest under Julius Caesar;
- the Danish invasion (resulting in the Danelaw);
- the Norman conquest (Battle of Hastings, 1066);
- the Hundred Years' War with France;
- the Wars of the Roses;
- the defeat of the Spanish Armada (1588 - naval battle);
- the defeat of Charles I (followed by Cromwell & the Commonwealth);
- the blitz in London during WWII.

Major events would include:
- the Battle of Hastings (1066) and the Domesday Book;
- the signing of the Magna Carta under King John (1215);
- the Tudor dynasty;
- the Elizabethan era (1558-1603);
- the Commonwealth and the Restoration (17th century);
- the Industrial Revolution (1850s);
- the Victorian era (late 19th century);
- the rise and fall of the British Empire;
- the independence of India (1947) and other former dominions;
- modern-day England (socialism, race & class divisions).
