We know Great Britain for its powerful history. I all started with the Neolithic and Bronze ages 5000 years BC (1). Stonehenge was created in year 200 BC, and is still a mystery today. Britain becomes a part of the Roman Empire after the Romans invade in year 43 AD, but they soon defeat them, and take their country back. In the Viking age Britain is first invaded by Danish Vikings, but then taken back by King Alfred. (1)

The work to build Britain starts in The Middle Ages, with the construction of Canterbury Cathedral and the Tower. In the same period Magna Charta is signed and the hundred years’ war with France starts. The Tudor time bears the stamps of crazy Kings and bloody Queens. The big step in Britain history is in 1707, when the union between Scot land and England is founded (1). The progress starts around 1780, when the industrial revolution begins. (1)

Then we have the Napoleon war, and the Victoria time. The Last hundred years has been filled with two World  Wars, woman prime minister, Spice Girls, the internet and a financial crisis.

=== But the question is: what is happening to Great Britain today? After building the society up, it looks like they are building themselves down again. We are going to look at two examples; the students in GB and the Northern Ireland conflict. ===

= = ==The society: Great Britain has a financial history with big warring expenses, rich kings and queens, and great development, but what about the financial situation today? Who is affected by this? Students today == = =

===**The social and values: The conflict in Northern Ireland has been going on for 30 years. 3000 people have been killed. Even though there was an armistice deal in 1997, the atmosphere in Belfast is still tense. Why is that? Why is the city still divided?The divided city, Belfast**===
