The Colonization of England by the Normans

The duke of Normandy invaded England with an army, ostensibly to bring peace but with the true intention of gaining wealth and power. The Normans disregarded English culture, history, and language and sought to dominate the country. This occupation force aimed to reshape the entire civilization to serve their own interests, breaking the will of the people. The Battle of Hastings marked the beginning of the war for England, with the English people showing resilience and a determination to fight against Norman rule through ambushes, sabotage, and assassinations.
