    Introduction
    In this presentation we will be able to see
    various aspects that British Culture has
    influenced in history and even everyday life as
    we know it today in order to learn more about
    this amazing culture.
    1. Queen
    Queen Elizabeth ascended the throne in 1953
    and in 2015 her excellence became the
    longest reigning Queen in the world.
    2. University of Oxford
    The University of Oxford is the oldest higher
    education institution in the whole UK. Until
    1877, lecturers at this university were not
    allowed to get married.
    3. Sports
    The famous game of Golf was invented in
    Scotland and today is considered as a national
    sport. Reliable sources claim that the game
    was first invented in 1457. The game got so
    popular among Scottish that James II banned
    it because it interrupted the army’s practice.
    4. Stonehenge
    Probably because of their popularity as old monuments, people
    think of the Pyramids in Egypt as the oldest objects in the
    world. However, in UK there’s the monument of Stonehenge,
    claimed to be one of the oldest monuments in the world and
    one of the seven world’s miracles by the way. Scientists
    believe that the object was built over 3,000 B.C.
    5. Language
    For almost 300 years French was the official
    language in UK, from 1066 to 1362.
    6. 1977
    In 1977, East Sussex a small village at the border
    of Wales and England declared its
    independence from UK and required from
    foreigner to get a visa in order to enter the
    village.
    7. Food
    Sausages are a popular food in the UK. It is
    believed that sausages were introduced first
    by the Romans around 400 AD. Nowadays it’s
    estimated there are 470 recipes for this food.
    8. 1896
    On August 1896 the United Kingdom and the Zanzibar
    Sultanate fought for around 40 minutes being this
    way the shortest war ever happened in history.  Only
    one British sailor was injured while casualties in the
    other party reached 500 people.
    9. London’s transport system
    London has one of the oldest transport systems in the world –
    and also one of the largest. The 270 functioning stations of
    the London Underground boast over 400 escalators (the
    longest is at Angel in North London), but there are another 40
    stations that aren’t even used anymore – and that’s before we
    even mention the famous red buses.
    10.First postage stamp
    The first postage stamp was created in UK. It was
    designed in May 1840 and it featured the
    figure of Queen Victoria.
