The history of England is a continuous movement and a series of constant changes. But the whole history of England, starting with primitiveness, permeates continuity, so that the main thing in it is not a change, but constancy. Until now, in England, an inextricable connection with the past, with traditions and customs, is felt. Until now, this country resists changes in any aspect of life. Peter Akraid shows the origins of the centuries -old immutability of England, its conservatism and commitment to the past.
In this volume, the events of the history of England have been counted since 1902, when the Anglo-Broke War ended, during which those who had previously experienced pride in the empire gradually covered disappointment and shame. Eduard VII, although he did not reach the political weight to his mother, Queen Victoria, was the most beloved by the English king after Charles II. Under his son, George V, the country participated in the First World War and still retained some features of Victorian time, but by the end of the reign of the next monarch, it changed beyond recognition. George VI entered the throne after the renunciation of Edward VIII, his older brother, and became one of the symbols of the struggle against Germany and Nazism during the Second World War. He was the last emperor of India and the last king of Ireland: the British Empire broke up and its transformation into the Commonwealth of Nations occurred. After the death of the monarch and the coronation of his daughter, the new Elizabethan era began. To the turn of the millennia, to which the narrative reaches, during the reign of Elizabeth II, ten prime ministers have changed, the most famous of which were Winston Churchill, Harold Wilson, Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair.
The magnificent series of books of the famous British author is ending, but the history of England continues to move
