The United Kingdom has a long and interesting history to explore, which can help you understand much more about the country and its traditions. Almost everywhere you go in the UK, you will be surrounded by evidence of four different groups of people who took over at different times throughout history. The first group, the Romans, came in the first century. Some of their great achievements included building towns and roads. Next, the Anglo-Saxons arrived in the fifth century.They introduced the beginnings of the English language, and changed the way people built houses. The vikings came in the eighth century, left behind lots of new vocabulary, and also the names of many locations across the UK.
The last group were the Normans. They conquered England after the well-known Battle of Hastings in the 11th century. They had castles built all around England, and made changes to the legal system. The Normans were French, so many French words slowly entered into the English language.

Write a summary of the text according to the following clues.
become part of, join, addition, break away, evidence, the Romans, the Anglo-Saxons, new vocabulary, the Normans, London
In the 16th century, Wales became part of the Kingdom of England. Later Scotland joined creating the Kingdom of Great Britain. The addition of Ireland created the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The breaking away of the southern part of Ireland in the 20th century resulted in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which most people call the UK, Britain or Great Britain. In the UK, evidence of four ancient peoples can be found.
The Romans in the 1st century built towns and roads. Afterwards the Anglo-Saxons introduced the beginnings of the English language. Then the Vikings brought new vocabulary and place names. Lastly, the Normans in the 11th century built castles, changed the legal system and brought French words. A good place to start learning about the UK's history is London, where past and present meet.
