I've had a good root around history of ancient European countries in their tribal stages and their kingdom stages but all of my sources seem to gloss over how the former became the latter.
I can't imagine how a series of tribes would turn in to one large kingdom/empire the size of a modern day country. Can anyone explain this clearly?
It'd be great to know how the tribes of say, England, interacted with each other before, during, and after the Roman occupation. It'd also be handy to know how/why any nearby groups of tribes merged to create a 'country' without any outside interference from a large empire like Rome's.
