Question

1) Which of the following in not one of the primary ethnic identities of
the inhabitants of the British Isles prior to the eighteenth century?
a) Welsh
b) Scot
c) Irish
d) British​

Answer 1

The people who lived in the British Isles had ethnic identities, such as English, Welsh, Scots, and Irish. Prior to the 18th century, there was no such thing as a British country. Each ethnic group had its own set of cultural and political traditions. The English nation's steady rise in terms of money, prominence, and power allowed it to extend its influence over the other island states.

Therefore, option D will be the correct choice.

Answer 2

The correct answer is OPTION D.

• Before the eighteenth century, there was no such thing as a British country.
• Ethnic identities such as English, Welsh, Scots, or Irish were prevalent among the people who resided in the British Isles. Each ethnic group has its own cultural and political traditions.
• The United Kingdom of Great Britain was founded on the Act of Union between England and Scotland, which effectively handed England sovereignty over Scotland.
• The English members of the British parliament dominated the legislature from then on. Scotland's unique culture and political institutions were purposefully destroyed as a result of the development of a British identity.
• The development of a new British nation was facilitated by the expansion of an English-dominated culture.
• The new Britain promoted the British flag, national anthem, and English language vigorously, while the prior nationalities were reduced to second-class citizens in this union.
