no one has invaded in the last 1000 years
The invasion has always been recorded as AD43 but in 2005 new archaeological finds show evidence of Romans already in Britain 50 years previous, but did not actually invade then. It is believed the Romans were welcomed by the ancient Britons; seen as liberators who helped overthrow tyrant tribal kings.
The Britons ( sometimes Brythons or British) were a group of Celtic people living in Britain. Three main celtic groups are: The Gauls, The Britons, The Gaels. By Jess C, 11 years old.
They never occupied Ireland although there is a suggestion they were looking at the possibilty of doing so. There are Roman artefacts found around Dublin and the Town of Chester (then Deva) was one of the biggest forts in the whole empire. The only reason for this would be the conquest of Ireland. The Empire fell into civil war and then collapsed before they made a move on Ireland.
Believe it or not, this is a difficult question to answer accurately. Julius Caesar first came to Britain in 55 BC and then returned the following year. Claudius invaded Britain and annexed it to the empire in 43 AD. In the almost 100 years during this time span, the Romans certainly had a presence in Britain. coins have been found dated 50 years before the big deal by Claudius and it is a known fact that the Romans had treaties with some of the tribes of southern Britain. However dates are not given.
yes it was... from about 43 AD to about 410 AD, about a total of 400 years.
From the date of the "invasion" of Claudius in 43 AD to the present, it would be 1,967 years ago that the Romans invaded Britain. But this is the official date. The Romans had a presence in Britain long before Claudius.
The Romans attempted to invade Britain many times, however it started off as just political alliances and influences. However, the Britons were seen as barbaric and uncivilized so the Romans invaded and "romanized" Britain. There was a revolt and the rebel armies in Britain successfully overthrew the Romans.
The Romans ruled Britain for about 350 years.

no they invaded 3 times. twice by Julius Caesar and nearly a hundred years later Claudius was emperor of Rome and to prove himself he invaded Britain as of its riches hope this helped :) best of luck xx

Julius Ceaser invaded Britain in 54bc then just to check Britain out then invaded Britain properly in 45 AdJulius Caesar made two attempted invasion of Britain in 55BC and 54 BC, but was unable to stay due to supply problems and political concerns that made him return to Rome.In 43 BC the Romans invaded and conquered Britain.Southern England was invaded on the orders of the Emperor Claudius. It is thought that he wanted to use the glory of conquest to bolster his political position in Rome, which was shaky. The emperor Vespasian sent Agricola to conquer northern England because the main tribe there, the Brigantes, rebelled and attacked Roman positions. Agricola pushed into Scotland, but subsequently the Romans withdrew from there.

Britain was first invaded by the Romans who ruled for 400 years, there was then a time of minor regional kings, then the Vikings invaded and ruled part of the country for several hundred years. The Vikings were defeated and we had kings of Scotland and England. Then the Normans invaded in 1066 and took over England. Since that time nobody has successfully invaded England again although some have tried (e.g. the Spanish Armada). We did have a civil war and Cromwell beheaded the King but after his death the monarchy was re-established and over time it turned into a constitutional monarchy with power to make laws vested with an elected parliament (Britain became a stable democracy). Thus the history of Britain is long and complex and there is no simple answer to this question.
