Where did the British people come from? This is an extraordinary interesting question，since they are a mixture of many different races, and all these races invaded(入侵)Britain at various times from Europe.Nobody knows very much about Britain before the Romans came during the first century BC, but there had been at least three invasions before that.The first of these was by a darkhaired Mediterranean race called Iberians.The other two were by Celtic tribes (部落)：first the Gaels, whose descendants (后裔) are the modern Scots and Irish，some of whom still speak the Gaelic language；and secondly the Britons，who gave their name to the whole island of Britain.These were the people whom the Romans conquered (征服)．The Romans gave the Britons a good deal of civilization，but they never settled in Britain in very large numbers, so the British race survived (活下来) until the overthrow of the Roman Empire by the “barbarians”，i.e.，the numerous Germanic tribes which overran the whole of Western Europe.
