Reino Unido

Reino Unido , oficialmente Reino Unido da Grã-Bretanha e Irlanda do Norte , é um Estado soberano insular localizado em frente à costa noroeste do continente europeu. O atual Reino Unido foi formado após o surgimento do Estado Livre Irlandês em 1922, que ganhou independência da coroa britânica. O Estado soberano localiza-se na ilha da Grã-Bretanha, e na parte nordeste da ilha da Irlanda, além de muitas outras ilhas menores. A Irlanda do Norte é a única parte do Reino Unido com uma fronteira terrestre, no caso, com a República da Irlanda. Fora essa fronteira terrestre, o país é cercado pelo oceano Atlântico, o mar do Norte, o canal da Mancha e o mar da Irlanda. A maior ilha, a Grã-Bretanha, é conectada com a França pelo Eurotúnel. O Reino Unido é uma união política de quatro "países constituintes": Escócia, Inglaterra, Irlanda do Norte e País de Gales. O governo é regido por um sistema parlamentar, cuja sede está localizada na cidade de Londres, a capital, e por uma monarquia constitucional que tem a rainha Isabel II como a chefe de Estado. As dependências da Coroa das Ilhas do Canal e a Ilha de Man , não fazem parte do Reino Unido, mas formam uma confederação com ele.O país tem quatorze territórios ultramarinos, todos remanescentes do Império Britânico, que no seu auge possuía quase um quarto da superfície da Terra, fazendo desse o maior império da história. Como resultado da era imperial, a influência britânica no mundo pode ser vista no idioma, na cultura e nos sistemas judiciários de muitas de suas antigas colônias, como o Canadá, a Austrália, a Índia e os Estados Unidos. A rainha Isabel II permanece como a chefe da Comunidade das Nações e chefe de Estado de cada uma das monarquias na Commonwealth.O Reino Unido é um país desenvolvido, com a sexta ou sétima maior economia do mundo. Ele foi o primeiro país industrializado do mundo e a principal potência mundial durante o século XIX e o começo do século XX, mas o custo econômico de duas guerras mundiais e o declínio de seu império na segunda metade do século XX reduziu o seu papel de líder nos temas mundiais. O Reino Unido, no entanto, permaneceu sendo uma potência importante com forte influência econômica, cultural, militar e política, sendo uma potência nuclear, com o terceiro ou quarto maior gasto militar do mundo. Tem um assento permanente no Conselho de Segurança das Nações Unidas e é membro do G8, da Organização do Tratado do Atlântico Norte , da Organização Mundial do Comércio e da Comunidade das Nações. Foi um membro da União Europeia até 31 de janeiro de 2020.

Bruce Castle

Londres

Bruce Castle is a Grade I listed 16th-century manor house in Lordship Lane, Tottenham, London. It is named after the House of Bruce who formerly owned the land on which it is built. Believed to stand on the site of an earlier building, about which little is known, the current house is one of the oldest surviving English brick houses. It was remodelled in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. The house has been home to Sir William Compton, the Barons Coleraine and Sir Rowland Hill, among others. After serving as a school during the 19th century, when a large extension was built to the west, it was converted into a museum exploring the history of the areas now constituting London Borough of Haringey and, on the strength of its connection with Sir Rowland Hill, the history of the Royal Mail. The building also houses the archives of the London Borough of Haringey. Since 1892 the grounds have been a public park, Tottenham's oldest.
