began. The blending of earlier cultures with the Anglo-Saxons, in
addition to the introduction of Christianity, created a new culture that
included aspects of all the inhabitants. The values established in
this new culture became the foundation of the British civilization.

1. Early
inhabitants of Britain organized into clans. The Romans occupied
Britain but did not incorporate it. With the coming of the
Anglo-Saxons, the larger units of rule, kingdoms, were established. This
Anglo-Saxon expansion resisted further invasions of Danish
(Scandinavian) and Norman (French) invasions before finally evolving
to a new level.
2. The coming of Christianity had a great influence on Anglo-Saxon culture. Greater peacefulness, kindness, and humility became acceptable modes of behavior.
3. Anglo-Saxon
literature arose from an oral tradition. Through the recitation of
poetry, sustaining the unifying history and values of the people. The
structure of Anglo-Saxon poetry exhibits those characteristics needed
