About UK

In the twentieth century the United Kingdom has commanded a worldwide empire for the foremost global power.

Two world wars have diminished its role.

The UK is ethnically diverse nation. But in recent years, the country has been struggling with issues like national identity, immigration and multiculturalism. Apart from London, other largest cities include Bradford, Manchester, Bristol, Leeds, Edinburgh, Liverpool, and Glasgow.

One of the more recent trends in migration has been the arrival of workers from the new EU member states in Eastern Europe.
