Depends on who you include as British? Do you mean those who lived under the Western Roman Empire? If so their modern descendants are still dealing with the consequences. If you mean everyone in Britain, well Scotland and Ireland went through several golden ages since then and the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes laid the foundations that would one day result in their descendants conquering half the fucking planet. So for them pretty damned good consequences.
But either way very long reaching consequences through time.
Most certainly but such is the nature of history, no man is an an island and all time flows together. The actions of my long forgotten ancestors who migrated the Pontic steppe before the bronze age still effects me now while I sit in my home in Southern California.
US 12 by me and across Michigan is on top of a glacial moraine that was a game trail post ice age and has been used to travel since by everything.
Damned fine example of such examples. Similarly there are trails in Africa that have probably been used by various human species for about a million years, so well before modern man.
