The area they cover is smaller than that of most European countries, and is rather far away from the centre of the continent. They are surrounded by the sea. The climate is wet and rarely very warm, and the winters can be harsh. For many thousands of years the islands were barely inhabited. Most of them were covered with ice. Even a thousand years ago, Britain was still a weak and backward land. Invaders from Italy, Germany, Scandinavia and France had swept over the land, bringing their own languages and customs. Yet in the last millennium, Britain steadily grew into one of the strongest and most influential countries in world history. The islands were never conquered again. In the 1 6 century, England became a stronghold of the Protestant version of Christianity. During the 1 7 century, the British people developed a system of government by parliament, which was later to be copied in many other countries. The great revolutions in farming and industry that were to take place worldwide, began in Britain in the 1 8 century. In the 1 9 century, the development of a massive British Empire brought power and wealth to the nation. And in the 2 0 century, Britain played a vital part in saving Europe from the threat of fascism during World War II.
