Who Lives in Britain?

Different nationalities have been historically mixed in Britain. Several thousand years ago people travelled from many different parts of the world to live in Europe and Great Britain.

In fact, every person in Britain has origins from another country.

The official count showed that Britain’s population consisted of the following different races and nationalities. Look at some of the figures in the table.

Thousands of years ago Britain was invaded by different countries, races and nationalities including the Romans, the Saxons, the Normans, the Vikings. And so today many people actually descend from them.

Even then, invaders brought slaves. In the 3rd century AD Rome used black soldiers to guard Hadrian’s Wall. In the 20th century Britain suffered much during the Second World War and people from other parts of the world were invited to help rebuild the country. Many of them were from different countries belonging to the British Empire. The first ship came from West Indies in 1948. It was called the Empire Windrush and it had to y

hundreds of people on board. Later people continued to arrive and stay in Britain.

As a result of these events, Britain has become a country where different nationalities, cultures and religions are mixed. This mixture has influenced all spheres of life, including the country’s literature, music, art, fashion and everyday habits and routines. People who were born in other countries have brought their traditions, rituals and food with them. For example, Indian and Chinese takeaways are as popular as traditional British fish and chips.

An international influence is also clearly seen in popular music styles. For example, rap and hip hop, types of music extremely popular among teenagers, originally came from Africa. Even in schools different origins have to be taken into consideration, particularly when a school uniform is required.
