Please mate, do an Animated History of England!

Dude, make a video for England
Suibhne, Love your videos! Nice animations. Do start doing videos on countries outside Europe too!
Suibhne you left out Mary queen of scots
I don't mind being called British as it's correct but if anyone calls me English that's when they crossed the Hadrian line
I'm English and it pisses me off when Americans refer to British or the UK as England as it doesn't egknolage the part the other groups play
What... the hadrian's wall that is in england...
@@chiefgilray lol yes and Scotland
@@Nozylatten mainly in England but "old Scotland"
@@chiefgilray what's old Scotland? Mate you are talking out your arse lmao I am Scottish my self. There is part of hadrians wall less than 5 miles from me at an old Fort in twechar. It's called bar hill roman Fort. Stop lying bud.
You mentioned William Wallace but not Robert the Bruce?
or the jacobites and bonni Prince charlie. 1745-46. jacobites was the Scottish clans that faught for our independence and our rightfull king but no one ever mentions the jacobites uprising. they play a huge part in Scottish history just as much as Wallace and bruce. but it's funny how the jacobites rebel army was named the 45 and in 2014 only 45% voted yes and was named the 45. 45 is a fighting number
@@chriscarr6884 I thought the Jacobites were fighting for a unified Britain, not a independent Scotland.
Correction: Jacobites weren't exclusively Scottish clans, but a large number of Jacobites did come from the Catholic Highland clans. Jacobites were just supporters of the Catholic Stuart Dynasty: the name coming from the Latin for James II & VII
(Jacobus). There were many Jacobites and Jacobite sympathisers across the British isle in Ireland and England as well as in Scotland. It's interest to discover that the Government troops that fought against the Jacobites in 1745 were actually Scottish from the lowlands, whom were primarily Protestant and had a distinct culture compared to the Highlanders.
Scotticus so if I’m Scottish, catholic and want independence am I a Jacobite?
@@itz_justj6117 Jacobites were more concerned with a Stuart Royal dynasty of Great Britain rather than an independent Scotland
I’m Scottish, calling me British is fine. Don’t call a Scotsman ENGLISH. Great content!

Yeah, the unicorn is our national animal, also its "Lochness Monster" not Lake monster sorry for correcting you
And we also have ......... HAGGIS
The monsters you’re referring to are of course the Glaswegians.
if you like that sort of stuff then Scotland has allot of mythical creatures, demons etc. Mostly told in stories but as a Scotsman I allways had beliefs and been open minded about the loch Ness monster or nessi for short. just with photos that have been shown in the past, only the photos you can't edit anyway
Why is the person in this video speaking so fast? Does CZcams pay more if you can cram lots of words into shorter videos?
The weirdos couldn't care what you think! he got his views and now they promote shite about Australia on it
if you use mic and speak in normal speed after you must do montaz and the video with normal speed will be 10-15 mints long
If he spoke normal speed the video would be longer, and people tend to like to click on shorter videos
You can control the speed if its too fast

Mistakes:
- Called a man carrying English flag British
- Gave Kingdom of Strathclyde Lothian and the Borders, which it never had
- "By around 1300, Scottish Gaelic had almost died out to a regional language"... I don't know where to start...
- The Union of the Parliaments in 1707 did not unite the thrones of the two kingdoms, which were separate until the 19th Century
I know. I can't help it.
I'm more upset he completely ignored the Scottish Enlightenment and the 'Athens of the North'
Union of crowns occured in 1603, in the 17th century.
Also Shetland and Orkney became part of Scotland in 1472, not 1367
- ‘Scotland voted to remain the rest voted to stay’ - except NI
- The map of the 2011 election suggests it was UK-wise. It was just Scottish elections.
- The use of the polling about a referendum to be held in the next two years is, well, not ideal
And there’s no mention of any Scottish philosophers and inventors in the bit about enlightenment/industrial revolution!!

You cannot talk about the history of Scotland without talking about Mary Queen of Scots or James IV and Margaret Tudor?
@Kieran Blookie you've never heard of mary queen of scots? Educate yourself
@Trap Flaps How is the history of your country useless?
I agree. I like the concept of this video but it was a little too abbreviated and rushed. Too many important historical events left out. Make it longer and slow down a bit. Otherwise, well done.
Just watch tv show Reign people. Is about Mary Queen of Scots.
@@Cassian2506 I'm not sure if it is very historically accurate, Reign after all is a CW show and they are more about drama for it's own sake.

Dude you can't just don't talk about the jacobites
Well they lost so what's to tell
I noticed a few things that were wrong, but it was generally a very well done video:
"Do not call them british"... I mean you can, im scottish and i say im both scottish and british. I think you meant to say dont call us english.
also James VI was not Elizabeths cousin, he was her nephew.
J Harris thanks for your feedback. I'm actually Scottish by Ancestry myself so I do understand. The video is somewhat lighthearted though as I'm sure you've noticed. :) Thanks for the comment mate
Think it depends which Scots you call British, I know a few who might be a bit touchy about it.
J Macc exactly. Even though they are on the island of great Britain. British just had connotations of English it seems
no just don't call us british

It hardly failed when a great portion of them still speak scots gaelic. We took it back after we made the british union

You missed out the fact that Scottish inventors can be credited with the majority of the most important inventions of the past 200 years. Penicillin, steam engine, television, telephone, waterproof materials, tarmac, rubber tyres, bicycles and refrigerators. A Scottish science team were the first people to ever successfully clone a living being (Dolly the sheep) and a Scottish man theorised and founded modern economics. A Scottish man discovered the ability to use fingerprinting in criminal investigations and also another Scottish person theorised the ability to use DNA in the same way.
Such a pity that we’re now a downtrodden colony of England.
For such a small country, with a population of only 5.5million, we’ve had a HUGE influence on the world.
That's your problem mate, Stop thinking about England all the time, you're not that bad off and we aren't all a bunch of evil little englanders that chase off foreigners with torches and pitchforks. Just be Scottish and do your Scottish thing and stop comparing yourself to us,you're doing alright in the grand scheme of things. Did we send in the police/army to smash Scottish voters heads in like the Spanish did in Catalonia when the you had your referendum? No we did not. We're not actually the arse holes of the world, funnily enough. And we don't bang on at the Germans for that bit of nastiness we had to go through, twice with them (other than singing a silly song at football)
Scotland has it better than england in the union, we contribute much more than you but scotland still gets more benefits such as free prescriptions etc
@@sausagejockyGaming 😂😂 Scotland pays more tax per head of capita that’s why we have free university and prescriptions, England benefits from Scottish trade in fishery, whiskey and oil just to name a few so your theory is bullshit all that saying ‘EnGlAnD fUnDs ScOtLaND’ which is what you’re implying is a lot of crap because you wouldn’t want use to stay in the union if it cost England money

@@rosspatterson1233 exactly!
You should remake the Scottish one because making it in to 4 minutes is abit of a joke we have so much history and you could make a way longer better video about it.
one big note that's a pretty sad part of history was the scottish purge after the 1740's Jacobite revolution, after the battle that killed over 4000 Scots the king of england didn't want that to happen again so they executed many leaders of the clans and some of the clans leaders were all killed, the Gaelic language was outlawed entirely, the carrying of a broadsword was made illegal and the kilt was even outlawed I believe
But it was that purge that completely killed off a lot of scottish culture, just like the world wars purged the old German culture from Germany
Such was the will of the King of Scotland.
@@Litany_of_Fury no
Ardail Coffey what would a broadsword be used for in 1740?
And people also forget that the British army that fought the Jacobites had a lot of Scottish Regiments :)
Gaelic is still a language spoken in Scotland and is taught in most schools in the Highlands & Islands
Sorry for speaking too fast and for using 'British' instead of 'English'. The video is riddled with mistakes buy hopefully you can still enjoy it :)
You mean you can call Scots British? Because that part confused me. In any case it was a good video and you can do some text edit for stuff like that.
Sara Samaletdin Don't call scottish people British because alot of people hate the union of Great Britain in Scotland
It's okay, you may have mixed up British and English, but you didn't make the world-ending mistake of calling us English, so you'll live :D.
@Mark Lynch, I know a lot of Scottish that support the union.
It's about 50/50 right now, so you'll hear a lot of support from both sides.

How come you barely even mentioned the Jacobite uprisings? They are one of Scotland's most important historical events and they're almost completely neglected in this video!
Hey, just to say I'm Scottish and have no problem being called British, nor have I ever heard of anyone in my 33 years who would have a problem with it. Maybe you're confusing it with calling us English?
+gamestunts yes you're right. I should have caught that in the edit
+gamestunts I think I meant to say English. Typo :)
I am Scottish I do not want to be called british and I do not regard my self as british ! if someone called me british I'd tell them I'm not british I'm Scottish ...
But the independence wars, Jacobite uprisings and, genuine hate of England and the fact we also support whoever plays England in a match of football never the less when Westminster voted for the removal of nearly all Scottish regiments such as the Black Watch, the Gordons and the Cameronians each time we were in uproar does that prove that we adore being British or the does it prove we dislike England and Britain over what they decided for us rather than what we decided for ourselves.
Peter as much as I agree with you about how the English ruined the regiments, the history is still spoke of and many of the regiments do still exist and operate such as the 52nd Lowland Regiment which still operate to this day, also the history is still with the army especially the Royal Regiment of Scotland where the 3rd Battalion of the Black Watch still operates thankfully under 3 SCOTS. So I have to disagree with you on the histories being ripped from the books per say. As for the tartans what you state is entirely untrue Stewart tartan is formally used by all of the SCOTs however they still posses their previous tartan as does the 3rd battalion of the Black Watch which they wear upon ceremony.
By the 1500s, Gaelic was still spoken by a large portion of the population, however the predominant language was Scots, not English. French was more common than even English at one point. It was the suppression from England that resulted in the massive decrease in Gaelic speaking people and those living in the North, and enforcement to learn English over Scots. Also, given the superior economy, quality of life and different societies & ideologies to the rest of the UK, is it any wonder they support independence at around 60% in most unbiased polls.
chatting shit, 52% wanted to stay, but its biased because it doesnt match your opinion right? freak
cjonesabc Nope, YouGov isn't biased and they find that Scots don't support independence. There are plenty of unbiased polls that show results on either sides.
I also think it would be wise to realise that even YouGov stated there is a growing support in urbanised cities like Abderdeen, Livingston, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and Dumfermline all in support of independence.
cjonesabc But hey, I guess if it shows they support independence then it must be wrong! Even though Scots voted for a party with a manifesto call a referendum if it is needed. Even though Scots have overwhelmingly voted to remain in the EU and many, as said, support the EU over the UK; and will not make any stance over the referendum until it is either happening or Brexit negotiations have initiated to find our standing right?
Us Welsh and Scots hate being called ‘British’ and the worst insult of all is being mistaken as English. would be great if Ireland, Wales and Scotland could have our own Union and split from the English 🏴🇮🇪🏴
Josh Parry economic failure is what you're thinking of. The fact is that the British isles are best and strongest United.
Interesting, you're the first Welsh person I've heard from who has expressed support for independence from the UK/England.

People from Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, and England can be called British as the area is called Britannia long before the Saxons even came. It's when you you mix up the groups up with each other is when you start seeing problems.

As a German-Pole I can say for some reason every Central European when hearing Scotland, descend into some form of idolise and love Scotland, they love Scotland and for some reason seem to know so much about the clans and the richness (wealth) of Scotland,the richest families were from Scotland. And the best military regiments were Scottish and still, are

"Best funeral ever"
I’ve seen lots of people who are saying they don’t mind being called ‘british’ and most people they know also don’t mind. which I disagree with as 99% of anyone I’ve met from Scotland (my family and friends) hate being called “British” as it’s more generally referring to English people. Example with ‘British’ stereotypes which are mostly catered to the English.
_becca _ Yeah... That can means you can be a redcoat... But, English were like Germans on Jews for you, that was creepy... I respect you old friend... Eeeer, HEY, YOU FOUGHT AGAINST FRANCE IN NAPOLEONIC WARS!!? I WILL TEACH YOU A LESSON TRAITOR!!! XD
I'm from Northumberland and hate being called British and so do many other English people and also those stereotypes are of the southern English.
Don't know any Scot who would take kindly to being called "British". Especially in Dundee as it is a Yes city and proud.
_becca_ I'm not going to as my first time in Scotland I got stuck in a riot in a shop...
YES!!! Exactly! I also ALWAYS try and put my country as Scotland because it is, but every single online thing insists that it's Great Britain or the UK... :(
I am Scottish with a hint of Irish, don't ever call me British though. Yes 55% voted for the union this does not mean people feel more British than Scottish. The last census would be the easiest way to tell - only 22% of people living on the island known as Britain identified themselves as British
Does not mention Scotlands war with Norway.
We were at war with Norway?
Ryan Mckie476, when I was researching the history of my Scottish roots, I saw that after the Viking ages, Norway claimed some those Northwest peninsula and islands in Scotland. At that time most of the highlands and lowlands were united under the kingdom of Alba/Scotland. So they said, let’s get them back. So I guess they declared war on Norway. There was the Historic Battle of Largs in where Scotland won. Scotland invaded the rest of Norway’s land and then the Norwegian king died, and the heir of the Norwegian throne made piece with Scotland and gave Scotland its stuff back.
JohnnyAppleSeed 49 yes but that war was so short the Scots lost automatically England destroyed the vikings Scotland helped what not enough
gamers55, the war was short yes, but the Norwegian King died and thus the war ended. It’s really a stalemate, but the Scots won the battle of Largs, which was the major battle so they are credited to winning.
I just found your videos, how can you not have more subs?! Your content is amazing

Suibhne agreed
I'm scottish and don't mind being called brittish. I hate it when people refer to Britain as england. It's as if we cease to exist.
James i’m from England and I agree! Britain is MORE!
...the Scots don't generally mind being called British. They come from the island of Britain and are Britons. They are also not a colony of England.
I'm Scottish. my ancestors came here when the Scottish rebellion came around in 1760s, and we were moved to Canada. my grandparents still consider themselves scottish, and so do i, im like 89 percent scot and 11 percent Fr*nch. i plan to move back to my homeland and experience the culture that my ancestors practiced.
Don't call us English, mate. British is fine.
Neil Cole don't call us British either , Scottish is fine
Well, the reason I say that is because our citizenship is British. To call us English is just factually inaccurate, and ignores our separate Scottish cultural identity. But I figure 300 years of history makes being British part of that identity, so it's okay. No?
Neil Cole we are born in scotland, so we are scottish, thats our nationality
Well, yeah mate I agree. It's just that we're British too. If you're Scottish you have a British/EU passport, if you're Scottish you can vote in British elections, If you're Scottish you hold British citizenship, if you're Scottish you pay British taxes, if you're Scottish you live by laws made in the British Parliament as well as the Scottish Parliament, if you're Scottish you are protected by the British military. Scottish MPs sit in the British parliament, our head of government is the British Prime minister (I think about 7 of which were Scottish). The Scottish government has powers that have been devolved by the British Government. Even the heir to the British throne has the title "the Duke of Rothesay!"
Is it not possible to be two things at the same time?
We're born on the island of Great Britain as well though. You can be both, just as much as you'd consider a Catalan Spanish or a Bavarian German.
Contrary to a lot of comments on here, I am a Scot and I do not refer to myself as "British". Maybe it is because I am from the highlands where you would struggle to find someone who is happy with the English government, and we are tired of getting the short end of the stick both politically and economically. Our history is ridden with instances of English exploitation of our country all the way up to the present day, but I believe one day we will be free. #indyref2
It's not just about representation in Westminster.. even though voting on bills is fairly skewered to the English votes, due to their overwhelming numbers in parliment.
It's just Westminster are very stubborn and quite apathetic to the Scottish peoples needs.
Basically, they aren't running the show very well, Scotland has no confidence in Tory governments to make any meaningful change to peoples lives.
Funding for Scotland is based on the Barnett formula; Scotland receives a percentage of the money they send to Westminster in the form of a block grant; which since 2010, has dropped 9.2% under successive Tory governments, with many more cuts to come once Brexit kicks in. We're not getting money for nothing you know.
+Dave Peterson #indyref2
MANTLE see, that's the little Englander attitude that Scotland detests. do you think the Tories give Scotland money for nothing?
Let's be honest here.. WM is the English parliament as well as the UK parliament. Setting up an English parliament has been spoken of a lot in the past, but the powers that be always insist it's another layer of non required governance; so its never happened. England isn't the problem, It's WM's inability/refusal to change and adapt. If you really want an English parliament (which I think you should have one) then you must demand it.
Dave Peterson no lol I want a North english parliment. Most people in UK parliment only worry about london. That's what it seems like anyway.
Robert The Bruce gained Scotland official independence in 1320, earlier than stated in the video, with a letter to the pope but other than fantastic video

Naem Khan but even the term British is false because your grouping different ethnic and cultural groups just because they were united under conquest. The Scotts are a proud people and they want to be their own entity which is valid. How would you feel if all of a sudden the Pakistanís took over all of India and called the two counties The United Kingdom’s of South Asia? You would feel as if your culture was assimilated and drowned out, you would feel as if you lost your national and cultural identity.

God bless Scotland I wouldn't even be able to send this comment without the help of Google translate like almost everyone I know if the Scots didn't teach me English as a wee little boy back in a Kindergarten in good old Glasgow before going back home👍knowing English sure helped me a lot in my life😘much obliged Scotland live long & prosper
Hi how Re you doing today
I'm Scottish
It means I sleep at 11 degrees Celsius
Scott 1289 and? That's not very cold
+TheGrimReaper54321 I know right? 😂
TheGrimReaper54321 i meat Fahrenheit
Scott 1289 good save
+mjmw99 By that logic, if you can't use 'then' correctly, then you can't speak English.
scotland will be independent one day, and i cannot wait :)
Ditto
It s so sad if Scotland wont be together with Wales, Nothern Ireland n England
Scotland being solo definitely isn't sad. You lot want that shitshow that is Brexit? Go ahead, but don't drag us down with you
@@Yangy_Young being polite bro, it s just my opinion of my country's experience. Beside im not from The UK. I love The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Nothern Ireland...
perdana putra they are better apart, especially for scotland.
I'm English and I love Scotland, I know they hate us, but I just love everything about it, the castles, single malt whiskey, tartan and great people. It is such a magical place.
Sean tbh most of us say we hate the English just for the sake of it 😂 no one here actually hates the English unless their a psychotic snp supporter
Although I'm American, I'd love to see Scotland as an independent country.
Daedric Dewi cause freedom
That's what i like to hear. Alot of "Americans" came from scotland anyway.
I'd love to see the native Americans given their country back.
Although I'm English I would like to see Arkansas as an independent country. Why? because it doesn't have any baring on my life and I think it would be funny
ARC9652 Productions well no offence but Scotland is stronger with the UK and although I'm not happy with the current government I would rather them than the SNP who are with out question Far-left wankers.
I'm french and I love Scotland x) Landscapes, people, music....Just Wahh
The Auld Alliance, we Scots love the French, unlike the English who cannot stand the French. Long live the alliance, long live Scotland and France.

Why not call us British? We are. Just because we have a bitter sector, don’t confuse us all with them.
How many of you lot want independence?
Beetlejuice good question. As you know, the last vote was 45-55. However, the Yes camp made out that Scotland would be rich in oil. Soon as we voted, then oil plummeted. We are better off in the U.K., particularly financially. The yes camp just have not got a valid argument for economics, which should scare anyone against voting yes!
At the moment, the Sturgeon of the SNP (Scotland’s admiration Leader) is very good at copying the U.K. government and bringing out exactly what they say, but a few hours earlier. Where as, it’s hard for the U.K. government to come off well. It’s always easier for them.
We had a fair vote, we said no. That shouldn’t change. We can’t keep having votes when we get something the SNP don’t want. The Yes camp will ageee to ANYTHING that gets them another vote. Even if they don’t believe it.
"united" more like "forcefully held against its will"
WLFGNGPHNX you can't just keep on having expensive votes just because your side lost. Plus no-one outside of London wants to keep Scotland in the UK. Until London realise that people matter outside of their city, we're stuck together, like it or not.
I'm late to this party but be aware our King inherited the throne of England. A Scottish King started the road to Union. Then in 1707 Queen Anne properly united us into one Kingdom, Great Britain. We would then later form the United Kingdom with Ireland in the 1800s.
MANTLE That vote was rigged.
What you’re saying is right: the parliamentarians in the old Scottish Parliament were bribed to vote FOR the Union. That’s the fact.
MANTLE it was a close tie, you act as the vote was a 95% win against a 5%
"while enforcing a strict, no touchy rule." Hahahaha!
People seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of the word British. They think it's synonymous with English, when really, it refers to ancient Celtic tribes of the island of Great Britain who spoke languages such as Brythonic. This makes the Welsh especially VERY British. We really need tk educate our population more. It's totally correct to call a Scot British, and to people claiming the word is associated with weird southern english stereotypes - well, people from the south don't like the stereotype either
"Scotland prospered in the industrial revolution" you know not what u say. U dare ignore the Highland clearances brought on by the ruthless capitalism of this era, an event which has left Scotland forever scarred as such
Aye but the Gaels who were cleared off in the Highland clearances were not a majority in the country at that stage and were culturally at odds with the rest of the country so screw 'em. (Although through the work of romanticists Scotland did later culturally appropriate their traditional dress and instruments.)
I mean Glasgow was known as the workshop of the British empire , we have been scarred by the highland clearances this is a fact but you can’t ignore the fact that major Scottish cities saw large industrialisation , the shipbuilding industry on the Clyde and at rosyth , the coal mining in the Lothians , the jute industry in Dundee
@@joshuacampbell3605 just as you can't ignore the amount of human suffering the overcrowding of those cities brought on by their mass industrialization caused
Evan Browning yeah that happened everywhere that industrialised though , not as much however but that’s cause The uk was first national to industrialise , also when he talks about prospering he is talking economically , this is the history of Scotland as a nation , not the experiences of the Scottish people
@@joshuacampbell3605 the experience of Scottish people is what allows the history of our nation to exist
Do not call them british! (shows picture of man with english flag)
Respect to all those who fought for Scottish independence & freedom from english control!✔💯💙
They’re all dead
LOVE Scotland 🇬🇧🇬🇧
That's not a scottish flag
Great start! Already hooked.
I don't hate being called British, but I absolutely hate it when people ask "Whereabouts in England is that?". Yes, those people actually exist
Best funeral ever ! Hahahahahahah that one realy got me xD
Randomly came across your channel yesterday, glued ever since and subscribed today!
Love 🏴 from Bangladesh
One of my Scottish friend told me that the vast majority of Scottish people wish to be independent.. He said Under the English rules English politicians took all of the resources from Scotland. Scottish believe they can do much better own their own.. Therefore once the Scottish become an independence nation they can rejoin the eu. Support Scotland independent from England
What resources?
I'm listening at 0,75 speed and still can't understand everything >
I can’t understand any word he says...
@@kdeggraham895 seriously,i could easily understand it with the normal speed ...
FREE SCOTLAND
From whom?
not today laddie! not today...
+Adam Collins That is a good question! I could use a Scotland. Who should I talk to so I can redeem my free Scotland?
Someday...
Stfu we're better together
“What’s he even hiding under that hat?”
That’s a question many Christians have asked for centuries.
Alexander III did die with an heir. His granddaughter, Margaret aka the Maid of Norway, died of sea sickness in Orkney on her way to Scotland and that's when Edward I was asked to step in and help decide who should be king
Do a history of Wales
indeed i would like to know how they turn into England slaves
I would like to see the bit where everyone did not rant about politics and past decisions
There's nothing there save successive generations of sheep. ;)
Ben Evans Wales great idea! Enigmatic land than most!
I'm very interesting in Wales history.
@Owen Cradoc So, my friend, I think it's very cool to learn more about Wales. Cheers
1. Thank you for this very informing video, I'm going to Scotland in a matter of days and this was very useful.
2. Had to slow it down to 0.75% cause you talk hella fast.
3. Not only am I learning from the video, but also the comments from scots and brits, so that's pretty cool.
4. Awesome videos, keep it up!
Garr Wheezington hope you enjoyed Scotland dude
Garr Wheezington hope you enjoyed Scotland dude
@@mrshepo9851 it was absolutely fantastic
Was this video slowed down? because it sounds normal to me
@@mrshepo9851 Hi how is the weather today??inbox me
American of Mexican, Spanish, Basque and Scottish descent. Hello from America my Scottish brethren
I’m Scottish and love being British, Henderson why we stayed in the United Kingdom.
This would be a great video for using in a geography class but for a few things. First, SLOW DOWN dude. It's not a race. The video is not useable for a class because you're talking waaayyy too fast. Secondly, saying that the Scots don't like to be called British is a pretty elementary mistake. Third, why no mention of Andrew de Moray or Robert the Bruce? They were the true heroes of the Scottish Wars of Independence. Now you're just perpetuating the myths created by Braveheart. I think you should remake this one.
Too much effort.
Please could you do Ireland because I'm from Ireland but I don't know a lot about it
England invaded, stole Northern Ireland, took away you’re potato’s and produce, killed many of you, tried to turn youse Protestant and make youse speak English because they didn’t like the fact youse spoke Irish because they couldn’t understand youse. Enough info? That’s all I know.

May God save our Empire and our cheerful Queen!!!! 🙏🙏🙏

History of Yorkshire! And our foreign subjugation after our heroic King Richard III was brutally slain at the Battle of Bosworth Field!
You mean Idiotic Richard III? A Lancastrian dynasty made England one of the world's superpowers
i love yorkshire. has such a beautiful country side
No! History of Lancashire! 🌹
Yorkshire should have always been a bro and joined Scotland! :D
That spunds like a script line from Game of Thrones
0:03, Ireland isnt part of Great Britain. Its part of the British Isles and the north is part of the UK, but neith are part of Britain
+Greencolt I know. The diagram shows that. Look again

Scotland is a beautiful country, I’m lucky that I’m from Newcastle and it’s not too far to visit
There are that many Scottish people living there it's basically scotland now
