Britain was ruled by the Roman Empire. Why isn't England called Rome?

England is a saying of the language of the local Angles, which has been slowly continuing. The Romans didn't name this place.

The Romans once invaded and ruled England. Later, the Romans called it the British province, including England and Wales. People in Britain learned from Roman civilization and slowly entered the civilized era from prehistoric times. After 400 years of ruling Britain, Rome withdrew and no longer ruled Britain. Later, many small countries began to appear in this place and entered a chaotic war period.

During this period, the Celts hired Germans as mercenaries. The Germans were divided into three teams. Later, a large number of their people merged into Britain and gradually merged with people from Britain into a nation, the largest of which was the Angles. "England" means "the land of the Angles", which is the language of the Angles themselves. Later, it gradually became English, and the Germans gradually expanded and annexed, and finally won.

Later, it gradually developed into seven small countries, and they gradually moved towards national unity, but the arrival of the vikings broke all this. The Vikings began to March into England. They not only entered England, but also penetrated into all parts of the European continent. After long-term integration with France, the Vikings gradually became French and French-speaking aristocrats. The vikings made England turbulent for more than 300 years, but they finally unified England.

The birth of England brought Britain into a brand-new period and further integrated these races. As long as Rome or any nation is unified, it is the best integration.
