The history of London

London was originally a Celtic town, which was built by Roman invaders around 50 A.D. as a port on the Thames and named "London". After the fall of the Roman Empire in the 7th century A.D., Rendini Graham was abandoned, and the Saxons established the town of Lundenwick one mile west of Aldevich today. It was not until the 9th century to the10th century that Rome and London regained their population.

London gradually developed and expanded, absorbing nearby villages and settlements and spreading in all directions. By the17th century, London was already the largest city in the British Empire and even in Europe. 1666 London fire destroyed most of the buildings in London (miraculously, only more than 20 people died in the fire), but immediately after the fire, London began to rebuild in 10, during which the landmark buildings including St. Paul's Cathedral began to start construction.

During the Victorian era, London experienced a large-scale development. The opening of the world's first subway, the operation of buses and railway lines connecting four directions have given London a brand-new look and traffic. /kloc-in the second half of the 0/9th century, the resident population in London dropped sharply (185 1 year:128,000; 187 1 year: 75,000 people; 190 1 year: 27,000 people), a large number of new buildings have sprung up, and a Georgian-style city has been transformed into a Victorian city.

The great changes in London in the past 100 years can be said to have started after World War II. During World War II, London was heavily bombed by the Nazi German Air Force, during which more than 30,000 Londoners were killed and most buildings were destroyed. In the 1950s and 1970s, there was no unified planning for the reconstruction of London, which led to the diversification of architectural patterns and became a major feature of London today.

At the beginning of the 20th century, most people in London used coal as household fuel, which produced a lot of smog. These smog, together with the climate in London, caused the "well-known" smog in London, which is called London fog in English. Therefore, English sometimes calls London "smog". 195212 During February 5-9, a severe smog in London killed 4,000 people. Therefore, the government implemented the Clean Air Act in 1956, prohibiting the use of smog-producing fuels in some parts of London.
