I don't like that type of arrogant and narcissistic attitude.

    My mother has visited lots of countries, and her favourite is Russia. She's visited beautiful palaces and museums and galleries in St Petersburg and Moscow, and she found the Russian culture and cuisine very nice. She has a lot of positive things to say about her time in Russia and she wants to return again. She bought me and my sisters and relatives some very beautiful and enchanting handmade souvenirs from Russia. She said their metro stations are a breathtaking work-of-art. My mother absolutely loves the Fabregé Museum in Saint Petersburg.



    There's a lot of renowned scientists, gymnasts, artists, excellent ballet dancers and classical music composers from Russia, such as Prokofiev and Tchaikovsky, for example.



    St Petersburg is nice because thig guy..( and many Others )

    We can say that St.Petersburg is 90% an Italian city...

    Thanks for looking anyway. I'm always interested in any genetic studies done on populations.

    I agree, but we do need to remember that those are averages, meaning some East Anglians are near 100% Anglo-saxon do to genetic recombination, but most are not anywhere near that. Indeed most Brits are just that, Britons...

    I think the English are pretty mixed.

    There was island natives, Celtics, and I guess the Anglo’s, but also Anglo
    Protestants at some point? The Vikings, etc.

    I think the Romans/Italians ended up there.

    They aren't really that mixed otherwise they wouldn't plot where they do. The best that can be said is that they are like other Northwestern European populations.

    There is also little Roman DNA in the British genetic make-up.


    The team found that people in central and southern England have a significant DNA contribution from the Anglo-Saxons showing that the invaders intermarried with, rather than replaced, the existing population.


    But there is no genetic signature from the Danish Vikings even though they controlled large parts of England–The Danelaw–from the 9th century, suggesting they conquered, kept largely to themselves, and then left. Only Orkney residents were found to have Viking DNA.

    For the most part, the Population of the British Isles, especially Wales and Ireland, is mainly of French origin (from the territory of modern France in the Bronze Age)

    “Beginning in about 2500 B.C., successive waves of tribes settled in the region. These tribes are often called Celts. The Celts were not a nation in any sense, but a widespread group of tribes that shared a common cultural and linguistic background. Originating in central Europe, they spread through most of western Europe, the British Isles, and the Iberian Peninsula. Their dominance could not withstand the rise of the Roman Empire, however.

    After defeating the Celts of Gaul (modern-day France and surrounding areas), the Romans invaded the British Isles in 43 A.D. Most of southern Britain was conquered and occupied over the course of a few decades and became the Roman province of Britannia. Hadrian’s Wall, in the north of England, marked the approximate extent of Roman control. The Roman presence largely wiped out most traces of earlier cultures in England—even replacing the language with Latin.”


    Ha, ha, wtf this thread. God damn.

    “During the 8th century, seafaring Scandinavians began raiding coastal areas in Europe. Known as the Vikings, they were not just warriors and pillagers. They also established numerous trade ports and settlements throughout the Western world, including the British Isles, Russia, Iceland,”

    I thought that was pretty non-disputed ans considered historical fact by now, the Vikings invaded a plethora of different regions and expenses. That’s what they did.

    “Danish Vikings began to invade northern and eastern England in 876 and eventually came to control a third of the country, defeating several smaller Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. The rulers of the Danelaw, as the Viking area became known, struggled for nearly 80 years with the remaining English kings over the region. The balance of power swung back and forth, with an English king, Edward the Elder, gaining the upper hand in the early 900s and a Danish king, Cnut the Great, ruling England, Norway and Denmark from 1016 to 1035. After the deaths of Cnut’s sons, the throne returned to Anglo-Saxon control, but their rule was short-lived. The Normans of France, led by William the Conqueror, sailed across the English Channel and claimed the throne of England, defeating Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings in 1066.”


    “leading to a rebellion there. Edward’s campaign against the Scots wasn’t entirely successful and remained unresolved at his death. By decisively defeating Edward’s son at Bannockburn in 1314, the Scots assured their independence. The House of Plantagenet continued to reign until the 15th century. Towards the latter half of the 15th century the houses of York and the Lancaster, the most powerful Plantagenet branches, fought a series of wars for control of the throne. Those wars ended with the Battle of Bosworth Field on 22 August 1486. At Bosworth Field Henry Tudor defeated Richard III. Henry took the throne as Henry VII and ushered in the reign of the House of Tudor. The reign of the Tudors lasted from Henry VII through Elizabeth I in 1603.”


    So, it was mostly Charlemagne and Pepin the Short from wherein the British “royalty” originated from.

    “The loss of its thirteen American colonies in 1783 is seen as a transition point from the First British Empire to the Second British Empire. In the Americas Britain shifted its attention north to Canada, where many Loyalists migrated after America won its independence. To make up for lost wealth in America, Britain also paid greater attention to Asia, the Pacific, and later Africa.”

    Ugh, no wonder I have trouble in Canada, I wonder why.
