The Roman Invasion

This invasion began with the idea that the Romans wanted to conquer the whole European continent, one of the most important was the Great Britain.

Before the Roman Ivasion, Britain was ruled by tribes called the Celts. It was in AD 43  when Romans invaded Britain by the new Emperor, Claudius. For around a century, the Roman army had been building an Empire across Europe.It was Britain's turn.
The Emperor was really worried about what his subjects would think of him,he thought they would think he was weak because of his age,and invading Britain could be his opportunity to show them he was a great leader.
There were many other reasons to invade Britain,however,that was the main one.
The Romans wanted Britain's precious metals. They called the land ‘Britannia’, which meant 'land of tin'. However, they weren't just a destructive force - they built new forts, new settlements and roads. They spread their culture, language and laws.Invading Britain could increase its wealth.
The emperor,assembled an army of more than 40,000 soldiers,and defeated the celts that lived there. Even though Celts were wild ond the battlefield,they could not defeat the highly organised Roman army,and by 47a.d,Britan had become a part of the Roman Empire.
