History[edit]
18th and 19th-century[edit]
In the 18th and 19th-centuries, British colonies began to diverge from Britain itself, in one case leading to war.[11] At some point, the British constructed a training and refueling base on Diego Garcia due to the island's position near India, Pakistan, Hong Kong, and Africa.[12][13] During World War II, the British managed to crack a German code.[14]
22nd-century[edit]
In the 22nd-century, the Houses of Parliament were destroyed in an act of domestic terrorism.[4]
25th and 26th-century[edit]
By the 26th-century, the island of Iona, was part of the North Atlantic Protectorate.[4] As well, the cities of London and Edinburgh were a part of the European Union.[12][13]
During the Battle for Earth in the Human-Covenant War, London came under attack by Covenant forces.[10][15]
Following the Human-Covenant War, a collection of photographs by Jake Courage toured Britain.[2][3]
Government and society[edit]
Culture[edit]
Some form of nobility existed in Britain until at least the 25th or 26th-centuries, with Terrence Hood being a member. He would take the title of "Lord".[16][5]
