The British Isles (Virgin) are a group of islands that vary in size. There are 36 in total. The largest of them are the following: Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Jost van Dyck, Anegada.
These lands are located near the Caribbean in the Atlantic Ocean and belong to the overseas territory of Great Britain. The population of the islands barely reaches 25 thousand people. Most of them live on Tortola. The British Isles also have their capital, Rhode Town.
Throughout its existence, the islands were captured by Spaniards, Dutch, French and even pirates. However, the British were most successful in this. In 1072 they captured this territory. Since 1680, the British began to develop sugar cane plantations here.
The islands are mostly flat and hilly. Lakes and rivers are absent. There are some problems with drinking water. They are solved using desalination plants. The animal and plant world is not diverse. Over the centuries, it has been gradually destroyed by people, and today the islanders cannot boast of rich flora and fauna.
