Brief History
England was first settled by modern humans after the glaciers retreated at the end of the last Ice Age. Successive waves of migrations from the European mainland eventually coalesced into a people who adopted the Celtic culture then present in Ireland and Scotland. The country derives its name from the Angles, a group of migrants from what is today the northern coast of Germany. By the medieval era, a number of Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms politically united into the entity that is today known as England. Many people use the term England to refer to Great Britain or the United Kingdom, but this is a mistake. England is merely a constituent country of these entities.
