NATIONAL FLAG OF UK
The United Kingdom is a unitary state consisting of four countries: England, Northern Ireland,
Scotland and Wales. It is governed by a parliamentary system with its seat of government in London,
the capital, but with three devolved national administrations in Belfast, Cardiff and Edinburgh, the
capitals of Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland respectively. The UK is a constitutional monarchy
with Queen Elizabeth II as the head of state. The Channel Islands and the Isle of Man are
Crown Dependencies and not part of the UK, but form a federacy with it. The UK has fourteen
overseas territories, all remnants of the British Empire, which at its height in 1922 encompassed
almost a quarter of the world's land surface, the largest empire in history. British influence can
continue to be observed in the language, culture and legal systems of many of its former colonies.
Queen Elizabeth II remains the head of the Commonwealth of Nations and head of state of each of the
Commonwealth realms.

HISTORY OF IRELAND
The history of Ireland began with the first known settlement
in Ireland around 8000 BC, when hunter-gatherers arrived from
Great Britain and continental Europe, probably via a land bridge
.
The earliest inhabitants of Ireland, people of a mid-Stone Age, or Mesolithic, culture, arrived
sometime after 8000 BC, when the climate had become more hospitable following the retreat of
the polar icecaps. About 4000 BC agriculture was introduced from the South West continent,
leading to the establishment of a high Neolithic culture, characterized by the appearance of
pottery, polished stone tools, What little is known of pre-Christian Ireland comes from a few
references in Roman writings, Irish poetry and myth, and archaeology. rectangular wooden
houses and communal megalithic tombs, some of which are huge stone monuments like the
Passage Tombs of Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth, many of them astronomically aligned (most
notably, Newgrange). Four main types of megalithic tomb have been identified: Portal Tombs,
Court Tombs, Passage Tombs and Wedge Tombs. In Leinster and Munster individual adult
males were buried in small stone structures, called cists, under earthen mounds and were
accompanied by distinctive decorated pottery. This culture apparently prospered, and the island
became more densely populated. Towards the end of the Neolithic new types of monuments
developed, such as circular embanked enclosures and timber, stone and post and pit circles

HISTORY OF ITALY
The Mediterranean peninsula
Italy, meaning the entire peninsula south of the Alps, is known as such from
about the 1st century BC. Several centuries earlier, when the name first
appears, it is used only of the area in the extreme south - the toe of the
peninsula.
In the 1st century BC Italy is under the control of a single power, Rome, and it
will remain so until the 5th century AD. The peninsula again becomes a political
entity, as the modern nation of Italy, in 1861. In all other periods of prehistory
and history this most desirable of territories has been shared and fought over by
numerous rival groups.

HISTORY OF SWITZERLAND
Since 1848, the Swiss Confederation has been a federal
state of relatively autonomous cantons, some of which
have a history of confederacy that goes back more than
700 years, arguably putting them among the world's
oldest surviving republics. For the time before 1291, this
article summarizes events taking place on the territory of
modern Switzerland. From 1291, it focuses mainly on the
fates of the Old Swiss Confederacy, at first consisting of
only three cantons (Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden) in
what is now central Switzerland, and gradually
expanding until it encompassed the present-day area of
Switzerland in 1815.
