Southeastern England & Northwestern Europe 49% The regions along the English Channel share more than a thousand years of history. Southern England, French Normandy, and the Low Countries of Belgium and the Netherlands have been linked by trade, conquest, and cultural exchange since medieval times. Imported Cotswold wool was spun by Flemish weavers, Norman stones and architectural styles shaped English cathedrals. Such commercial connections preceded William the Conqueror's 1066 invasion, which transformed English history and language. Centuries later, these coastlines became battlegrounds during the World Wars of the 1900s. Today, the Channel Tunnel, shipping routes, and airlines continue the connection, linking England and mainland Europe. Where do people with this region live?
