If they had been united back in the early days of Brit settlement - maybe we wouldn't be talking English here today
Britain is the historical mosaic of numerous "invasions" by Celts, Romans, Normans, Angles, Saxons and Scandinavians on British soil. Each invader added to the British identity and the success of Britain through the years can be attributed to the integration of each diverse cultural strata.
Maybe the Aborigines can start embracing the diversity rather than fighting it
who knows what that may lead to
Is a nation the same as a country?
There is a difference between the terms
nation, state, and
country, even though the words are often used interchangeably.
Country and State are synonymous terms that both apply to self-governing political entities. A
nation, however, is a group of people who share the
same culture but do not have sovereignty.
