II. DEVELOPMENT

II.1. Exposition Nº 1: Britain´s Prehistory: First inhabitants.

Britain's prehistory is a fascinating period that spans thousands of years before
written records were kept. The first inhabitants of what is now Britain were early
humans who arrived on the island when it was still connected to the European
mainland during the last Ice Age. These early human populations would have
been part of broader Paleolithic cultures that existed in Europe.

(Ysuiza & Muñoz, 2023).

II.2. Exposition N°2: The Celts, their organization and their language.
The Celts were a diverse group of Indo-European peoples who lived in various
regions of Europe during the Iron Age and into antiquity. They did not form a
single, unified civilization or empire but were rather a collection of distinct tribes
and cultures that shared some common elements, including language and art
styles.

Today, Celtic languages are still spoken in some regions, and there is a revival
of interest in Celtic culture, especially in areas like Brittany, Wales, and
Scotland. The legacy of the Celts can also be seen in various cultural traditions,
folklore, and art forms that continue to thrive in these regions.

(Merino Navarro & Hidalgo Pérez , 2023)

II.3. Exposition N°3: The Romans and their lives.

The Romans were a prominent ancient civilization that existed for over a
millennium, and their lives were marked by significant developments in various
aspects of society, culture, and governance.

The lives of Romans were diverse, with significant variations in lifestyle and
opportunities depending on one's social class and geographic location within
the vast Roman Empire. Romans made remarkable contributions to
 architecture, engineering, law, and culture, leaving a lasting legacy in Western
civilization.

(Domínguez Chávez & Tauma Flores, 2023)

II.4. Exposition Nº4: The invaders: The Angles, Saxon and Jutes.
The Angles, Saxons, and Jutes were Germanic peoples who played a
significant role in the history of Britain, particularly during the early medieval
period. They are often collectively referred to as the Anglo-Saxons.
1. The Angles:
The Angles were one of the Germanic tribes originating from the region of
present-day Denmark and Germany.
2. The Saxons:
The Saxons, like the Angles, were a Germanic people who originated from what
is now Germany.
3. The Jutes:
The Jutes were another Germanic tribe, believed to have come from the Jutland
Peninsula (present-day Denmark and Germany).

The Anglo-Saxon period in Britain laid the foundation for the development of the
English nation and language. It was a time of significant cultural, linguistic, and
political change as the indigenous Celtic traditions merged with those of the
Anglo-Saxon settlers. The legacy of the Anglo-Saxons can still be seen in
England's language, place names, and historical landmarks.
(Pinedo Salazar & Rojas Fernández , 2023)

II.5. Exposition Nº5: The Vikings: The Danelaw.

The Vikings, a seafaring people from the Scandinavian regions (Norway,
Denmark, and Sweden), made a significant impact on medieval European
history. One of their notable contributions to the history of England was the
establishment of an area known as the Danelaw.

The Danelaw represents a pivotal chapter in the history of England, reflecting

the dynamic interplay between the indigenous Anglo-Saxon culture and the
Viking settlers. The legacy of the Danelaw, along with the broader Viking impact
on Europe, continues to be a subject of historical interest and study.

(Valeriano Pérez. & Dávila Cachique, 2023)

 II.6. Exposition Nº6: The Normans: conquest, William I, kings. Feudalism.
The Normans were a medieval European people of Viking and Frankish origin
who became famous for their conquests, particularly the Norman Conquest of
England in 1066.

The Norman Conquest and the subsequent establishment of Norman rule in

England marked a significant turning point in English history. The legacy of the
Normans can be seen in various aspects of English culture, language, law, and
governance, and their influence extended far beyond the reign of William I.

(Peralta Bautista & Walter Carranza, 2023)

II.7. Exposition Nº7: The beginning of Parliament

The beginning of the English Parliament can be traced back to the early
medieval period and was a gradual evolution rather than an event with a fixed
starting point. It developed over several centuries, influenced by historical
circumstances, royal initiatives, and political developments.

The development of the English Parliament was a complex and gradual

process, shaped by a series of historical events and political developments. It
ultimately laid the foundation for the modern British parliamentary system and
constitutional monarchy, which continues to evolve to this day
(Barboza Cometivos, Canma Cachay, & Villacorta Velásquez , 2023)

III. CONCLUSION (Exposition Nº1)

Britain's prehistory and its first inhabitants represent a captivating

journey through time. From the ancient Homo Antecessor to the arrival of
modern humans, these early settlers adapted to changing climates and
landscapes, leaving behind a trail of evidence in the form of stone tools and
archaeological remnants. Britain's prehistory continues to inspire curiosity and
wonder as we uncover more about the lives of these ancient pioneers.
