Immigrants to Great Britain along History
Great Britain has its particular idiosyncrasy because of the
influence of all the different groups, races and cultures that have
come to the country over the centuries. They have influenced the
system of government, contributed to knowledge, wealth, commerce
and industry, and shaped its arts.
Examples and highlights:
Travelling bands of Celts were the first to invade Britain. They
brought with them new methods of forging metal.
From 43 AD until the end of the 4th Century the Romans settled
and integrated with local tribes.
The Germanic tribes of the Angles, Saxons and Jutes colonised
Southern England, establishing new settlements and cultivated the
land.
Immigrants to Great Britain along history
The Vikings were skilled boat builders.
The Normans conquered Britain in 1066, and imposed a legal and
administrative system, existing in some cases still today.
Medieval Britain benefited from the immigration of Jewish
businessmen, scholars and doctors.
Victorian times brought labourers from Ireland who undertook the
transport of goods.
Thousands of citizens from across the British Empire fought for
Britain during the two world wars. At the end of the World War II
the shortage of workers brought many of them to live in Great
Britain as there was a shortage of doctors, nurses, teachers,
factory workers etc.
Still today with a shortage of dentists, doctors, builders,
architects, vets, people from abroad come to fill the gap.
