| | British Isles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Throughout Book 4 of his Geography, Strabo is consistent in spelling the island Britain (transliterated) as Prettanikee; he uses the terms Prettans or Brettans for the islands as a group. | | | Certainly it would not be unreasonable for mariners using the Western Seaway between Ireland and Britain to group all the outlying islands together with the large ones under a single term... | | | He writes of Great Britain: Albion ipsi nomen fuit, cum Britanniae vocarentur omnes de quibus mox paulo dicemus. |

| | Ireland 1789-1801 |
| | After 1795 there were increasing incidents of sectarian violence in Ireland, exacerbated by the attempts of the United Irishmen to enlist French help in their struggle to free Ireland from English control. | | | The union was a political expedient in wartime, solving none of the grievances in Ireland over land, religion or politics. | | | The Irish could see that religious inequality had been abolished in France and that a democratic government had been set up. |

| | The horrific deaths of 58 Chinese migrants found in Dover, revealed to the world the monstrous effects of Britain's immigration regime. | | | But what does any of this mean for the working class people of Ireland who have been subjected to decades of sectarian rule, violence, intimidation and ruined lives? | | | British Prime Minister Lloyd George promised troops returning from the carnage of World War One "a land fit for heroes." In place of this utopia they found a land blighted by unemployment and shortages. |

| | He pioneered the London Ghost Walk, and in 1997 he wrote and presented the acclaimed Ironhill Pictures documentary drama 'On the Trail of Jack the Ripper'. | | | As Britain is replete with such events, the author has chosen those that he judged to be of particular interest and where the sites themselves were accessible to the readers. | | | Fortunately it doesn't spend much time on the question of whether or not ghosts exist, but goes right to the heart of the matter; that is, the stories of hauntings and ghostly spectrals as reported by those who claim to have seen them. |

| | Prepare to experience a multiplicity of cultures living in remarkably close quarters, a quirk that has resulted in a bloody past whose defiant fortresses, subterranean dungeons, and ensuing ruins account for much of the island's appeal. | | | But even if the disparate regions of Britain are perpetually at odds, they all embrace the fruits of the cultures they've come across in their globetrotting days: Brits eat kebab and curry as often as they do scones and lemon curd, and watch American TV shows as much as the BBC. | | | Make sure to set aside plenty of time for Ireland as well; between the dramatic mist-cloaked mountain peaks and the dazzling green of the landscape, you'll find that the “Emerald Isle” is no mere marketing slogan. |
