The "Five Eyes"; five nations of the world

     The “Five Eyes” are Canada, Australia, England, New Zealand, and the United States of America.
     These regions of the world were the old Commonwealth territories that were owned, governed, colonized, exploited and ruled by the Kings of England from the very early 17th century through the late 19th century, and by the year 1921 the British Empire was not the dominating Empire or superpower nation, since they completely lost control of the entire continent of Africa, and were only left with their investments in India by the mid-20th century when India finally redeemed their independence from England (not to mention, that India always rightfully belonged to the the native people to the sub-continent of India, and never rightfully belonged to the Ottoman or the British Empires), due to the efforts and actions of Ghandi and the native people to India standing up to the British Empire, and by the year 1997 with the widely televised death of Princess Diana, the exact words verbatim of Prince Charles were:  “Empire is dead”.

     To give the reader some information about one portion of British history, I wanted to write the following words and give the reader a brief introduction to British History during the 11th and 12 centuries, and this is the time period in history when Britain became completely dominated and controlled by the Norman conquests led by King Norman of the Franks leading to the completely defeat of the Picts, Brits, and Celts initiated by the first wave of attacks and battles called the “The Battle of Hastings” during the year 1066 that lasted through the year of 1067 on the southeast coastal areas of England near the town of Londinium (this is the Latinized version of the non-Latinized English name of the same location and reference to the modern day city of “London”, that is the non-Latinized version of the name of the city, “Londinium”).
