 England is the country's largest and most populated of the United Kingdom. Inhabited by Celts from the V century. C., England was colonized by the Romans between 43 d. C. and early fifth century Thereafter began the invasion of a series of Germanic peoples (Angles, Saxons and Jutes) who were expelling the Celts, Romanized part, to Wales, Scotland, Cornwall and Brittany. In the tenth century, after withstanding a series of Viking attacks, England was unified politically. After the accession of James VI of Scotland to the English throne in 1603 and the annexation of Scotland by England in 1707 is less appropriate to differentiate the history of England from the rest of the UK.

Demography




 

  With over 53 million inhabitants, England is by far the most populous country of the United Kingdom, accounting for 84% of the combined total. England taken as a unit and measured against international states has the fourth largest population in the European Union and would be the 25th largest country by population in the world. With a density of 407 people per square kilometre, it would be the second most densely populated country in the European Union after Malta.
