[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mindovermatter: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by lamin: [qb] [QUOTE][b]Britain is in Europe, but not of Europe as they say. They have always perceived themselves to be different[/b][/QUOTE]Wrong again. Britain was invaded and settled a number of times from Europe. There was the Roman invasion and Brittania became Roman colony. In fact, Londinium(now London) was the name of a Roman fort. Amusingly enough the Romans thought that the best slaves came from Britain because they were meek and dumb(cf. Cicero). Then Britain was invaded and settled by Germanic peoples--Jutes, Saxons and Angles(giving us the name England). Then there was the famous Battle of Hastings in 1066--which began the Norman conquest of Britain. That was when King Harold killed by an arrow in his eye. Yet, the British Royal family is of recent Germanic ancestry. But because Britain is an island, its peoples tend to be more insular than the land-locked European countries. This insularity has been reinforced by Britain fighting off invaders from Europe. The Spanish Armada bent on invading England was defeated in 1588 by Admirals Howard and Francis Drake. Then the famous Battle of Britain when Britain under Churchill withstood Hitler's invading Luftwaffe. Britain signed on to Brexit because they saw that too many Muslim refugees were heading for their shores because of the extensive free benefits that the refugees were getting. That explains the refugee settlement in Calais, France--home to many refugees seeking to enter Britain. [/qb][/QUOTE]The family also has recent Arab and Slavic and Greek admixture; a DNA study was done a while back and they found that they had "Arab" DNA from the British monarch's having relatives marry w/ Arabian royalty and monarchs.....
