Zwar nicht East is East, aber allgemein:


Post- colonialism and migration

- between 1945 and 1965 most of the former colonies of the British Empire became independent
- in 1947 British left Indiaà was divided into a Hindu state(India) and a smaller Muslim state(Pakistan)
- largest number of immigrants to Britain were inhabitants of British Empire and Commonwealth
- later groups from African countries, Sri Lanka, Middle-East, Yugoslavia and Rumania
- 1948: British Nationality Act: gave all Commonwealth citizens the right to enter Britain to work
- political campaigns called for immigration control
- racism among the population grew
- National front(right wing) was founded in 1967

Present situation

- largest ethnic minority in Britain: people from Indian descent
- second-largest: Pakistani descent
- 7.9 percents of UK population
- half of the members of these minorities: born in Britain
- about 45 percent of ethnic minorities live in London area

Attitutes towards immigration

- most British citizens welcome or at least except immigrants
- Government wants immigrants seeking British citizenship to integrate
- promotes learning of language skills
- integration but not assimilation
- cultural diversity
- tolerance is limited by the basic laws and moral principles that govern the nation

Habt ihr nicht British history vergessen?

• British History :

• 1066 The Norman Conquest
• William, Duke of Normandy conquers England --> one king for northern England and France
• William had many enemies (for example the Scots and the Danes who attacked him)
• Set up a feudal system
• Changes to the language
• Rich people --> French
• Poor people --> English
• Reason for the huge amount of synonyms in the English language

• 1215 The first parliament
• King John signs the Magna Carta (1215)
• people could not be punished without trial
• taxes could not be raised without the agreement of the barons
• King Henry (3) ignored the Magna Carta --> Simon de Montfort (leader of the barons) --> organized a group of barons and four ordinary but rich people from each country to talk about Henry in Parliament
• Simon lost the war against Henry at the battle of Eversham --> his Parliament Idea lived on and the Magna Carta became a symbol of people’s rights
• 1533 Henry the 8th and the Pope
• England --> catholic country
• Henry called the parliament in 1529 because the church had refused a divorce (his wife didn’t give him a son)
• As a consequence Henry set up the church if England (Anglican Church) and had 6 wives all over his life
• Elizabeth the 1st
• Elizabeth became queen because of the death of her only brother
• Never married (said she was married to England)
• Met parliament regularly
• Main enemy --> Mary, queen of the Scotts (Catholic) --> Elizabeth kept her in prison for 19 years but Mary’s son became King in 1587 (James the 1st)

• The English civil war (1642 – 1649)
• King Charles the 1st tried to rule without Parliament, raising taxes without asking them (Magna Carta)
• Civil war --> Oliver Cromwell (strict Puritan) formed an army to fight for Parliament
• Enemies (Royalists or Cavaliers) were loyal to the king --> were defeated by Cromwell’s army at the battle of Naseby in 1645
• Parliament abolished monarchy an started Commonwealth (first parliament 1653 – 1658 was ruled by Cromwell ( Lord Protector))
• 1688 - The Glorious Revolution
• James the 2nd (catholic) became king after the death of Charles the 2nd
• The English people still feared Catholics
• Parliament invited protestant daughter Mary and Dutch husband William of Orange to take the throne
• James escaped dressed as a girl
• Will and Mary had to sign a document (Bill of Rights (1689)) --> Parliament was now more important than the monarch
• 1707 The Act of Union
• England and Scotland were united (Scotts were defeated in 1746 at the battle of Culloden --> Union Flag ( English / Scottish) flag --> Irish Cross of St. Patrick as added in 1801 --> Union Jack
• From Empire to Commonwealth
• Elizabeth the 1st encouraged sailors to conquer the seas and explore the New World
• 17th century English settlers founded colonies in America for different reasons (punishment, adventure, new life, gold and silver, religious freedom)
• After the American independence (1776) Britain needed a new place to send its convicts --> Australia was chosen ( 1787 --> 11 ships with 15000 passengers were sent – only 1000 survived – 700 prisoners (no dangerous criminals))
• Gold rush in the 1850’s in Australia made hundreds of thousands leave for Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa
• From 1831 to 1871 the number of emigrants grew to nearly six million
• The empire builders
• Expansion of empire accompanied with industrial revolution
• The Empire was at it heights during the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901)
• London as the workshop of the world --> many raw materials --> owners of mills-factories became rich
• Great exhibition of 1851 --> Britains wealth and technological progress
• Victorians believed they had the right to colonise primitive people
• In 1600 the East India Traiding Company was formed to develop trade in India
• From 1765 and on it ruled parts of India with its own army and political service to 1885 (Indian Munity)
• The Jewel in the Crown
• India was considered as the Jewel of the crown (in 1879 by Queen Victoria)
• Great Britain ruled a quarter of the world in 1901 (one of the reasons why English is a world language)
• Mahatma Gandhi (1869 – 194cool
• Constant fight between Indian royalty and British rulers
• Was like a political leader (the people said he meant to be)
• Stood for non-violent protest
• Told people not to cooperate with the rulers
• Went on a hunger strike
• Was killed by an Hindu fanatic in 1948
• From Empire to Commonwealth (short timetable)
• 15th century:
• discovery of America and sea route to Asia
• acquisition of new territories
• new trade links through private companies like the East India Company which controlled India as they got raw materials from India, produced things back in England and sold these products back to India
• 17th century:
• church of England was established --> many people had to flee because of religious persecution
• 18th century:
• annexation of new colonies (through these days rivaly between European States and loss of 13 US-colonies)
• 19th century:
• “Imperialism” – 2nd British Empire
• form safe sea routes to link the colonies
• 20th century:
• at the end of World War 2 the empire covers 1/5th of the world land
• empire loses its power --> Commonwealth is installed
• 21st century:
• only few dependent territories like Falkland Island and Gibraltar

• The British Parliament:
• consist of 2 houses
• house of commons (659 seats at the present) --> is elected by the voters
• house of lords --> non-elected
• 1200 members (whole Parliament)
• Small parties do not get many seats because of the first past the post system à the strongest party which got a simple majority in the constituencies gets a seat in the parliament
