Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Britain"

A: @TejasMehetre Although I don’t know the exact details, he seems to be saying:
1. “Third-rate power” Britain is not, or is no longer, a great world power.
2. “Nursing” - It is holding onto/clinging onto
3. “Illusions of grandeur” when someone thinks (has an illusion) that they are greater or more important/amazing (grandeur) than they really are.
4. “Colonial past” Britain colonized many countries in its past. During that time it often acted like it was “great” and “powerful” and had authority over other people groups. He is accusing Britain of still thinking or acting this way.

5. “Created” this links to the phrase “create a problem” as well as the literal meaning of the regions being created/ divided as a result of Britain’s rule.

6. “Solution” He is saying that Britain first created a problem and now wants to give the solution (fix the problem), as if it is being helpful.

I don’t know if that helps~

This sentence could mean that, although many expect bad consequences from Brexit (brexit gloom), so far they have not happened (Britain is defying them).

Of course, I would say that we have not had (many) bad consequences because we have not actually left yet- but that's a political discussion for another place.

A: Here is me saying the same thing:

A: By adding the "yet" you are signifying that the event has not happened yet. If you leave out the "yet" the sentence may not make sense.

A: Britain became a Roman colony in 43 AD under Emperor Claudius. However, the Celts had close contact with the Romans long before the invasion. About one hundred years earlier, Julius Caesar organized two expeditions to Britain (the first of which was in 55 BC, and the second in 54 BC). The Celts also fought in Gallic wars and imported wine and other luxuries from Rome.

So what you already have is fantastic, there's just a couple of little tweaks to make it completely natural-sounding. The first is that we place the time marker (AD, BC) after the number, instead of before. I think you know this as you had them in the right order in the 3rd sentence. "Close contacts" in the second sentence is slightly incorrect, the correct version I provided above. As I'm assuming this is a formal piece of writing, the term "a hundred" isn't quite correct for the tone of the piece, which is why I corrected it to "one hundred" (although both are technically grammatically correct). In this sentence, I also changed the way you phrased the parts in the parentheses, as the version I provided sounds more natural.

I hope I was of help!
