However, the people from Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England are all British. What makes the Scottish, Welsh, English and Northern Irish different from each other? About 2,000 years ago the British Isles were inhabited by the Celts who originally came from continental Europe. During the next 1,000 years there were many invasions: the Romans from Italy, the Angles and Saxons from Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands, the Vikings from Denmark and Norway, and the Normans from France. These invasions drove the Celts into what is now Wales and Scotland, and they remained, of course, in Ireland. The English, on the other hand, are the descendants of all the invaders, but are more Anglo-Saxon than anything else. These various origins explain many of the differences to be found between England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland differences in education, religion and the legal systems, but most obviously, in language.
