Oxford History of England
About This Novel
More than 100 national treasure-level academicians have created Oxford classics for more than 40 years! The treasure of Oxford University Press! See how Britain rose step by step in 1800, and why it declined rapidly within 100 years! From a wild island in the Atlantic Ocean to controlling a quarter of the world's population and land. Starting in 55 BC, Rome invaded Britain and brought civilization to this desolate island. After the Romans left, the land fell into endless wars and the political power was extremely decentralized. What is even more tragic is that Britain fell into the hands of the Duke of Normandy in France in 1066. The Normans used iron and blood to strengthen the royal power. Since then, the rise of Britain has been unstoppable: royal power reached its peak during the Tudor dynasty, Britain entered the "golden age" after Elizabeth established maritime hegemony, the Glorious Revolution of 1688 paved the way for Britain's modernization, and the Industrial Revolution of the 18th century made Britain dominate the world and reach the peak of its empire! The prosperity was in vain. No one could have expected that this glorious empire would decline rapidly within 100 years.
