Which continent is the United Kingdom in?

England is one of the four constituent nations of the United Kingdom, the only one that does not constitute an administrative entity and does not have an autonomous government like the other Home Nations. It shares borders with Scotland to the north and west with Wales. To the northwest is the Irish Sea, to the southwest the Celtic Sea, to the east the North Sea and to the south is the English Channel, which separates it from continental Europe.

England includes almost the entire south-central part of the island of Great Britain. The country counts, among other things, more than 100 smaller islands, such as the islands of Scill isole Its capital is London, the capital of the United Kingdom.

The area that today is called England was inhabited by men as early as the Upper Paleolithic, but takes its name from the Angles, one of the Germanic tribes that settled during the fifth and sixth centuries.
