Inglaterra

"Inglaterra (en inglés, England) es una de las cuatro naciones constituyentes del Reino Unido. Su territorio está formado geográficamente por la parte sur y central de Gran Bretaña, isla que comparte junto a Escocia y Gales, y cerca de 100 islas más pequeñas como las Islas Sorlingas y la Isla de Wight. Limita al norte con Escocia, al oeste con Gales sus dos fronteras terrestres, al noroeste con el mar de Irlanda, al suroeste con el mar Celta, al este con el mar del Norte y al sur con el canal de la Mancha. El territorio de la actual Inglaterra ha estado habitado por varias culturas desde hace cerca de 35 000 años, pero toma su nombre de los anglos, uno de los pueblos germánicos que se establecieron en el lugar durante los siglos V y VI. Se convirtió en un estado unificado en el año 927 y desde la era de los descubrimientos, que comenzó en el siglo XV, ha tenido un gran impacto cultural y legal en todo el mundo. El idioma inglés, la Iglesia anglicana y el Derecho de Inglaterra tomado como base para el sistema jurídico de muchos otros países del mundo se desarrollaron en Inglaterra, y el sistema parlamentario de gobierno ha sido ampliamente adoptado por otras naciones. El Reino de Inglaterra que desde 1284 también incluía a Gales fue un estado independiente hasta 1707, fecha en la que se firmó el Acta de Unión con Escocia, para crear el Reino de Gran Bretaña. En 1801 Irlanda se unió al Reino de Gran Bretaña creando así el Reino Unido de Gran Bretaña e Irlanda hasta 1922. Con la independencia y partición de Irlanda desde entonces es el Reino Unido de Gran Bretaña e Irlanda del Norte."

"England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom. It shares land borders with Scotland to the north and Wales to the west. The Irish Sea lies northwest of England and the Celtic Sea lies to the southwest. England is separated from continental Europe by the North Sea to the east and the English Channel to the south. The country covers much of the central and southern part of the island of Great Britain, which lies in the North Atlantic; and includes over 100 smaller islands such as the Isles of Scilly, and the Isle of Wight. The area now called England was first inhabited by modern humans during the Upper Palaeolithic period, but takes its name from the Angles, one of the Germanic tribes who settled during the 5th and 6th centuries. England became a unified state in the 10th century, and since the Age of Discovery, which began during the 15th century, has had a significant cultural and legal impact on the wider world. The English language, the Anglican Church, and English law the basis for the common law legal systems of many other countries around the world developed in England, and the country's parliamentary system of government has been widely adopted by other nations. The Industrial Revolution began in 18th-century England, transforming its society into the world's first industrialised nation. England's terrain mostly comprises low hills and plains, especially in central and southern England. However, there are uplands in the north (for example, the mountainous Lake District, Pennines, and Yorkshire Dales) and in the south west (for example, Dartmoor and the Cotswolds). The capital is London, which is the largest metropolitan area in both the United Kingdom and the European Union. England's population of over 53 million comprises 84% of the population of the United Kingdom, largely concentrated around London, the South East, and conurbations in the Midlands, the North West, the North East, and Yorkshire, which each developed as major industrial regions during the 19th century. The Kingdom of Englandwhich after 1535 included Walesceased being a separate sovereign state on 1 May 1707, when the Acts of Union put into effect the terms agreed in the Treaty of Union the previous year, resulting in a political union with the Kingdom of Scotland to create the Kingdom of Great Britain. In 1801, Great Britain was united with the Kingdom of Ireland through another Act of Union to become the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. In 1922 the Irish Free State seceded from the United Kingdom, leading to the latter being renamed the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland."
