Le Royaume-Uni de Grande-Bretagne et d’Irlande du Nord , communément appelé Royaume-Uni ( RU ) ou Grande- Bretagne , est un pays souverain du nord-ouest de l’Europe , au large de la côte nord-ouest du continent européen. Le Royaume-Uni comprend l’île de Grande-Bretagne , la partie nord-est de l’île d’ Irlande et de nombreuses petites îles des îles britanniques . L’Irlande du Nord partage une frontière terrestre avec la République d’Irlande . Sinon, le Royaume-Uni est entouré par l’ océan Atlantique , avec leLa mer du Nord à l’est, la Manche au sud et la mer Celtique au sud-ouest, ce qui en fait le 12e plus long littoral du monde. La mer d’Irlande sépare la Grande-Bretagne et l’Irlande. La superficie totale du Royaume-Uni est de 93 628 miles carrés (242 500 km ² ), avec une population estimée en 2020 à plus de 67 millions de personnes.

Le Royaume-Uni est une Démocratie parlementaire unitaire et une monarchie constitutionnelle . Le monarque, la Reine Elizabeth II , règne depuis 1952. La capitale et la plus grande ville est Londres , une ville mondiale et un centre financier avec une population métropolitaine de plus de 14 millions d’habitants.

Outre l’Angleterre, les pays constitutifs ont leurs propres gouvernements décentralisés , chacun avec des pouvoirs différents.

Le Royaume-Uni a évolué à partir d’une série d’annexions, d’unions et de séparations de pays constitutifs sur plusieurs centaines d’années. Le traité d’Union entre le Royaume d’Angleterre (qui comprenait le Pays de Galles, annexé en 1542 ) et le Royaume d’Écosse en 1707 forma le Royaume de Grande-Bretagne . Son union en 1801 avec le Royaume d’Irlande a créé le Royaume-Uni de Grande-Bretagne et d’Irlande . La majeure partie de l’Irlande a fait sécession du Royaume-Uni en 1922, laissant l’actuel Royaume-Uni de Grande-Bretagne et d’Irlande du Nord, qui a officiellement adopté ce nom en 1927.

Le Royaume-Uni est la cinquième économie mondiale en termes de produit intérieur brut (PIB) nominal et la huitième en termes de parité de pouvoir d’achat (PPA). Il a une économie à revenu élevé et un indice de développement humain très élevé , se classant au 13e rang mondial. Le Royaume-Uni est devenu le premier pays industrialisé au monde et a été la première puissance mondiale au XIXe et au début du XXe siècle. Aujourd’hui, le Royaume-Uni reste l’une des grandes puissances mondiales, avec une influence économique, culturelle, militaire, scientifique, technologique et politique considérable à l’échelle internationale. C’est un État nucléaire reconnu et classéquatrième au niveau mondial pour les dépenses militaires .

C’était un État membre des Communautés européennes (CE) et de son successeur, l’ Union européenne (UE), depuis son adhésion en 1973 jusqu’à son retrait en 2020 suite àun référendum organisé en 2016.

Hamlet est unetragédiedeWilliam Shakespeare, probablement écrite entre 1599 et 1601. Se déroulant auDanemark, la pièce raconte comment leprince Hamletse venge de son oncle pour avoir assassiné le roi précédent, le père de Hamlet. L’oncle d’Hamlet a depuis volé le trône et pris la mère d’Hamlet, la veuve du roi mort, comme épouse. La pièce retrace de manière vivante le cours de la folie réelle et simulée – du chagrin écrasant à la rage bouillonnante – et explore les thèmes de la trahison, de l’inceste et de la corruption morale. Malgré de nombreux travaux de détective littéraire, l’année exacte de l’écriture reste controversée. Trois premières versions différentes de la pièce ont survécu, connues sous le nom deFirst Quarto, theSecond Quarto, et le Premier Folio . Chacun a des lignes, et même des scènes, qui manquent aux autres. Shakespeare a probablement basé Hamlet sur une légende indo-européenne – conservée par un chroniqueur du XIIIe siècle et racontée par un érudit du XVIe siècle – et sur une pièce élisabéthaine perdue connue aujourd’hui sous le nom d’ Ur-Hamlet . La structure dramatique de la pièce et la profondeur de la caractérisation de Shakespeare signifient que Hamlet peut être analysé et interprété – et discuté – sous de nombreux angles. Hamlet est de loin la plus longue pièce de Shakespeare et l’une des tragédies les plus puissantes et les plus influentes de la langue anglaise. Le rôle-titre a presque certainement été créé pour Richard Burbage, le principal tragédien de l’époque de Shakespeare ; au cours des quatre cents années qui ont suivi, il a été joué par les plus grands acteurs, et parfois actrices, de chaque époque successive.

Murray Maxwell (1775–1831) était un officier de la Royal Navy britannique qui a servi avec distinction à la fin du XVIIIe et au début du XIXe siècle, en particulier pendant les guerres de la Révolution française et napoléoniennes . Maxwell a d’abord été reconnu comme l’un des capitaines britanniques impliqués dans la campagne réussie de l’Adriatique de 1807 à 1814 , au cours de laquelle il a été responsable de la destruction d’un convoi d’armement français lors de l’ action du 29 novembre 1811 . À la suite de nouveaux succès en Méditerranée, Maxwell reçut des commandes de plus en plus importantes et, malgré la perte de son navire HMS Daedalus au large de Ceylanen 1813, a été spécialement sélectionné pour escorter l’ambassadeur britannique en Chine en 1816. Le voyage en Chine est ensuite devenu célèbre lorsque le navire de Maxwell, le HMS Alceste , a fait naufrage dans le détroit de Gaspar , et lui et son équipage se sont retrouvés bloqués sur une île voisine. Les marins abandonnés ont souffert de pénuries de nourriture et ont été attaqués à plusieurs reprises par des pirates malais , mais grâce au leadership de Maxwell, aucune vie n’a été perdue. Finalement sauvé par un navire de l’Honorable East India Company , le groupe retourna en Grande-Bretagne en tant que héros populaires, Maxwell étant particulièrement félicité. Il a été anoblipour ses services, et a fait une brève et infructueuse incursion dans la politique avant de reprendre sa carrière navale. En 1831, Maxwell fut nommé lieutenant-gouverneur de l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard , mais tomba malade et mourut avant d’avoir pu occuper le poste. ( Article complet… )

An estimated nine million combatants and seven million civilians died as a direct result of the war with losses exacerbated by technological developments and the tactical stalemate caused by trench warfare (pictured). The war is also considered a contributory factor in a number of genocides and the 1918 influenza epidemic, which caused between 50 and 100 million deaths worldwide.

• Battle of Jutland Map: Grandiose A map of the Battle of Jutland, a naval battle fought by the British Royal Navy’s Grand Fleet against the Imperial German Navy’s High Seas Fleet during the First World War. The only full-scale clash of battleships in the war, the Germans intended it to lure out, trap and destroy a portion of the Grand Fleet, as the German naval force was insufficient to openly engage the entire British fleet. Fourteen British and eleven German ships were sunk, and more than 8,000 people were killed. Both sides claimed victory, and dispute over the significance of the battle continues to this day.

• Gilbert and Sullivan Image credit: Alfred Bryan Gilbert and Sullivan created fourteen comic operas, including H.M.S. Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance, and The Mikado, many of which are still frequently performed today. However, events around their 1889 collaboration, The Gondoliers, led to an argument and a lawsuit dividing the two. In 1891, after many failed attempts at reconciliation by the pair and their producer, Richard D’Oyly Carte, Gilbert and Sullivan’s music publisher, Tom Chappell, stepped in to mediate between two of his most profitable artists, and within two weeks he had succeeded. This cartoon in The Entr’acte expresses the magazine’s pleasure at the reuniting of D’Oyly Carte (left), Gilbert (centre), and Sullivan (right). More featured pictures
