'''English people''' refer to people who are [[Citizenship|citizens]] of [[England]] or of English descent. England is one of the nations that is a part of the [[Island]] of [[Great Britain]].

England is also a part of the [[United Kingdom]] along with Scotland, Wales and [[Northern Ireland]]. Because of this, English people are also [[British people]].

== Citizenship ==

Citizenship refers to the United Kingdom rather than just England. Many citizens in the U.K. are not [[Ethnic group|ethnically]] British. In the past, the [[British Empire]] controlled countries all over the world. People from many of these countries moved to England and had families. Over time, this led to many citizens from different ethnic groups. Examples of these groups include [[Indian people]] and other groups from the [[Indian subcontinent]], people from [[Africa]]n countries, people from the [[Caribbean]] islands and people from [[Hong Kong]].
