Activity 2 :

1. No. They annexed Wales (1284, then incorporated in 1536), but Scotland and Ireland remained independent kingdoms for a long time.

2. Annexation = when a territory is taken and controlled by another power (ex. Wales in 1284). Incorporation = when that territory is legally integrated and given the same political rights as the rest of the kingdom (ex. Wales in 1536).

3. Religious and dynastic conflicts: civil wars, Jacobite rebellions, the threat of French support for Catholic claimants, and tensions about succession (Protestant vs Catholic).

4. The Irish independence movement: after the Anglo-Irish War (1919–1921), the Anglo-Irish Treaty created the Irish Free State (1922), leaving only Northern Ireland in the UK.

5. Draw a chronology of the successive unions

* 1284 → Wales annexed by England (Statute of Wales).

* 1536–1543 → Act of Union: Wales incorporated into England.

* 1603 → Union of the Crowns: England & Scotland share the same monarch (James VI/I).

* 1606 → Creation of the first Union flag (St. George + St. Andrew).

* 1707 → Act of Union: England + Scotland = Kingdom of Great Britain.

* 1801 → Act of Union: Great Britain + Ireland = United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

* 1922 → Anglo-Irish Treaty: creation of the Irish Free State → only Northern Ireland remains in the UK.

* 1953 → Elizabeth II proclaimed queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

6. The red cross of St. George (England)

The white saltire of St. Andrew (Scotland)

The red saltire of St. Patrick (Ireland)

Activity 3 :

The Union Jack is still a strong national symbol, but unlike the US flag, it does not always create unity. For many in England and Wales it represents shared history and identity, but in Scotland and Northern Ireland it can be divisive, as local identities and independence movements are strong. So rather than a unifying symbol, it sometimes highlights the UK’s internal differences.

Grammar and vocabulary

Fourteen Commonwealth members are constitutional monarchies that retain the British sovereign as their head of state.

Even though Prince Charles was proclaimed the new king for all these “realms and territories”, in many of them, the queen’s death was met with bolder calls for full independence.

As the Queen aged and receded from view, and as the world became engaged in a broader examination of the sins of colonization, it became harder to keep the monarchy at a benign distance from racism and the acts of the empire.

In former colonies worldwide, demands for a full accounting of the pain, suffering and plundered riches that helped contribute to the royal family’s enormous wealth have increased.

In Jamaica in March 2022, Prince William and his wife were greeted with protests that demanded an apology and reparations

activity 2 :

1. Multiculturalism means that different cultures all live at the same time at the same place together.

2. In some other places, rather than expecting a country to assimilate different cultural systems the immigrant is expected, or expects, to adapt their behaviour to the country in which they now live.

3. He is remembered because of his rivers of blood speech about minorities.

Activity 3 :

1. Why did the protests begin?

The protests began after a false claim circulated on social media that the 17-year-old boy who killed three girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance in Southport was an Islamist migrant. This misinformation sparked anti-Muslim and anti-immigration protests.

Riots have occurred in over 20 places across Britain, including:

* Southport

* London (near Downing Street)

* Sunderland

* Manchester

* Plymouth
