ENGLAND

England is the largest and most populous of the four constituent countries of the United Kingdom, occupying the southern portion of the island of Great Britain and bordered by Scotland to the north and Wales to the west. It was the center of the British Empire and the origin of the Industrial Revolution, the latter of which fundamentally altered the global economy and patterns of human settlement beginning in the late 18th century, and its capital London has functioned as one of the world’s leading financial and cultural centers for several centuries.
