- Imagine a nation whose reach spanned the four corners of the Earth, whose flag flew over territories as diverse as the jungles of Africa, the plains of India, and the shores of distant islands. England, a tiny island nation, achieved the unimaginable feat of invading over 60 countries, leaving an indelible mark on the world stage. But what drove this insatiable thirst for conquest? Was it fueled by economic greed, a hunger for power, or a sense of superiority?

The British are not perfect but they brought roads. railways. Vast amounts medical innovation
@@michaelpower9172 Roman roads were far superior, and straight!
Murder, genocide, rape, pillage, that is all Britain brought. They would have been able to develop the railways etc. themselves if they hadn't been impoverished by Britain.
If you are an apologist for the Empire you are complicit in its evil.
Britain's most famous export: Independence day
Independence was the ultimate objective of the British Empire. It was a 'victim' of it's own success. The spread of democracy, the rule of law, capitalism, the use of science to resolve societal problems, medicine etc to name just a few. All of these implemented as a result of the British Empire. Do your research.

The sun never sets on the uk empire. This was true for a remarkable amount of time.
The term was then used for the Spanish Empire under Philip II and his successors, when it reached a global territorial size, particularly in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. It was also used for the British Empire, mainly in the 19th and early 20th centuries, a period in which it reached a global territorial size. ((Another stole from english)
What empire would you trust in the dark when they can’t be trusted in the light ?
In 2024, they're stumbling pretty badly. They have been for over a decade.
14 years of continuous Conservative governments will do that.
Never sets on the UK.
But immediately impacted the locals in which they harmed.
Yes, the greatest evil the world has ever known.
Britain's most famous export: The English Language
THE LAW
VIRGIN ISLANDS PEACE ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
You can push your narrative in a positive light.
Ultimately, there were millions who were killed during the "colonization".
Virgin Islands?
I think if you listed everything, this would've been more than 17 minutes 😉😉😉😉.
17 years more like 😂
more like less than 5 minutes using the word stole.
My thoughts exactly.
That was my thought.
Stole or conquered? The British East India Company conquered the Indian sub-continent, while it only came under British government control from 1859-1947. Colonialism was a fact of the times, and India, despite following the British back, seems to have sufficiently recovered to initiate a space program, even though they have millions living on the streets. Their exposure to the English language has enabled them to colonize the Anglosphere from New Zealand to the U.S.
If it wasn't for the rapacious nature of both the British and African slave dealers, where profit was the only motive, suffering, which Europeans had endured at the hands of Muslim slavers for centuries, would not have been exported to the new world. It should be noted too, that stronger African tribes had been enslaving the weaker for centuries. Perhaps a little known fact is the Arab cross-Saharan trade. Their practice, once the slaves had been secured, was to castrate all male slaves, ensuring no black progeny in Arab lands. Countless 100s of 1000s died from infection while crossing north. Not a pretty recollection of man's inhumanity to his fellows, but one hardly exclusive to the British.
It's interesting to me when all these people think the world will be better once the USA, Britain go back to their homelands... No, Russia and China will be taking over, and they won't be helping the World to prosperity and good health. Throw in dictators, warlords, pirates... this world will be a wasteland once again with no law and order. It's coming soon...
Lol, those deflections will not save you folks from Islamic, Russian and Chinese domination. Seems history is a circle. But I have to give the British some credit, they were extremely organized gangsters back in the day! That opium trick against the Chinese was genius. Good luck.
Looking back on history. Is like travelling to a foreign land.
next you should do all the stuff Islamic conquest destroyed
... remove this, i'm not even muslim. But they were so far ahead of us on medicin etc. Anyway this is just blind hatred.
@@marce4241 can’t ignore history they were literally called the Arab and Muslim conquests… ignorance is bliss
I love how people use the term Muslims conquest but when it comes to Europeans, it's not "Christian" conquest but "colonialism" or "invasion" by European countries.
@@ViolentCabbage-ym7ko colonialism actually has ancient roots… European colonialism is just another flavor. Empires have been conquering other cultures since the beginning of time. Also the Islamic conquest is was it’s literally called in history books but ignorance is bliss 🤷♂️
@@ViolentCabbage-ym7ko also the Christian Crusades were not a territorial dispute but a so called “Holy War” which if you are actually Christian would say goes completely against the doctrine that was taught by Jesus but history is hard. I get it. 🤷♂️

Most of the people sold their own people from their own countries in the first place what does it say about those countries?
I'd say that Europeans took advantage of that. He said already that they took advantage of two warring tribes in Africa.
Then took advantage of people/land by creating systems of land ownership. ( something previously wasn't used by plenty of migratory groups)
But for me it was making it illegal here to depict white people as slaves. So we don't forget. 😮💨
It’s incorrect to say this since they didn’t sell their own people but rather different ethnic groups completely
It wasn't the same as "chattel slavery " that's the part you who keep saying that don't get.
Probably that they wouldn’t have sold their people if there was no one to buy them.
@@leotajackson5602 If you wanna know true brutality, check out the Islamic slave trade. At least Christians allowed their slaves to marry and have children... all the people who ended up bought by Muslims lost their testicles.

African tribes like the Zulu used to fight to the death daily. Someone would be picked at random, and then another, and they had to fight to the death. Am I wrong? In front of everyone. It was a daily thing to keep warriors ready for war.
That was because when they wanted to attack another tribe or take their land or steal their stuff or enslave their people, they had to be ready, right?
If I am correct, then a warrior culture has no right in complaining when they get their butts handed to them. I dont care who it was done to or who did it. Play the game, accept the results of how you played. We dont care if the tools were more primitive or what the empire was or how connected each of the warring parties were.....the only thing that matters is who won. "Fighters", right? Well, if you want to live that life, accept the consequences. There will always be someone or something stronger.
Africans were in the business of waging war for the sole purpose of stealing from, enslaving and killing their opposition. Hundreds of tribes over an entire continent. They did it for thousands of years and even took white slaves from the southern Europe (easily 10x the amount of slaves that were sent to the new world).....this was an economy for them. The white man just did it better. Can we say it out loud? They arent victims. They were playing a game and got beat, and they are the sorest losers in the history of playing games and losing.
I swear. For such a "warrior" society, there is some serious weakness there.

4 July 1776 America date of Independence. Prior to 1921 the British Empire was even larger.
There were originally approximately 105 separate colonies controlled by Britain. Some 26 either united or were absorbed to become other countries. Approximately 78 became separate independent countries and some 51 of those are members of the Commonwealth of Nations.
By 1670 there were British American colonies in New England, Virginia, and Maryland and settlements in the Bermudas, Honduras, Antigua, Barbados, and Nova Scotia. Jamaica was obtained by conquest in 1655, and the Hudson's Bay Company established itself in what became northwestern Canada from the 1670s on.
So what did the Americans do to the local natives after 1766?
Brits on tour, best pub crawl in history 🤣

Nah dude.. most of the Europeans begged for trade posts and they were ALLOWED to have bases until the Europeans broke treaties as usual and started killing for greed as they usually do
@@teejayman215 Not really, European conquests were driven by inter European competitions. European breaking treaties is hyped, natives regularly broke treaties too.
@mudra5114 it's not competition. The goods that they needed was not from their country. Countries like India allowed the Portuguese to set up shop for decades until British did the same but this time brought their typical genociding and treaty breaking
@@teejayman215 It was competition. Competition in between European powers. The goods were for the elites of Europe. Earlier this trade was controlled by Muslim traders and Venice. But Europeans developed superior navigation methodologies and had superior navies, so they wanted to cut out the middle men and take these goods to Europe at a much cheaper cost. In return they brought European silver. European goods too made it to Asia, for example Woolen clothing etc...

@@CryptoKernels
1) he isn’t saying the most recent because Spain was on his map of comparable “colonizing nations” even though Spain basically ceased to be a colonial power with the Spanish-American war yet by 1900 the Ottoman Empire had existed for centuries and would only fall in the aftermath of WW1. This is choosing which history you present and which you ignore. Gotta love how Turkey always wants to be linked with EU but never wants to be seen as a European colonizer.
2) I’m not emotional, I’m just calling out bullshit. People like you and the first Commenter will never assume that anything was taken from a country colonized by Britain unless it was in the Indian Raj or in Africa. Are you a spokesperson for revisionist history? Most people from India and Africa are, because they don’t like being held partially responsible for helping the British conquer India or selling slaves to the British in the Atlantic slave trade and continuing to take/sell slaves to this day.

The point is, if those outside Europe had the same technology and projection of power, they’d have done the same.

The title "Everything the British Stole from the World" is extremely misleading.
Conveniently the word "class" is never mentioned. The British working class people were probably the most exploited human beings on the planet. Investigate the iron workers of South Wales (a life expectancy of 21 years) and the enclosure of the commons, along with the Scottish Highland Clearances.
Do your homework before pontificating about how bad the British are.

This is your best video ever.
oh, and by the way- you forgot to mention that all those slave trading forts from around the world, especially in Africa- who actually enslaved the Blacks and dragged them to the forts? You're a "historian" and you leave that out? And who STOPPED the ancient massive slavery industry in Africa created by the Africans? THE BRITISH colonizers. Mansa Musa, from the 13th century- was one of the richest men in history. How did he make his riches? SLAVERY, black slavery, and gold mined by...black slaves. You're not a historian, you're an activist masquerading as a historian.
This is a long list.
A long list of falsehoods.
7:48 where did the Europeans get the slaves in Africa? Well at the time there was tribal wars going on in Africa and the winners would take slaves and then they discovered that they could sell their own people to white slave traders for massive profits. I heard this person mention the Barbary Pirates who came from the Barbary states in North Africa (Morocco, Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, Mauritania & Mali) but I didn’t hear you say how they raided the coasts of Europe from the Mediterranean all the way up to Norway and enslaving white Europeans up until the 1830-1840’s (the slavery of white Europeans went on for nearly 400yrs). I should’ve included white Americans in that too as they raided their merchant ships and towards the end of their raiding it was mostly Americans they took as slaves as the Americans were the easiest targets so in the end the American government paid the Barbary Pirates not to attack their ships as they couldn’t defend themselves unlike the Royal Navy, French Navy, Spanish/Portuguese/Dutch Navies
From the already well-established Arab/African slave trade.

@@Garbeaux. Except for the hundreds of items stolen from other cultures that are just parked in basements of museums instead of, oh, returning them to their countries of origin.

That's like saying we should have zoos so we can see animals from all over the world in one place, otherwise they'd roam free and become extinct from overhunting and destroyed ecosystems.
They are like Trophies in a display case.
Every culture throughout history collected trophies from conquests, Britain was just the best at it.
Britain was powerful because of the Dutch Indian trade Co

So many people have pride for this country.
I honestly think I'm the only one, who's disgusted by, Britain's past: without having a patronising, white saviour complex.
The atrocities we committed are how we still have so many benefits, luxuries and privileges, even now.
Finally a honest comment
British colonialism is basically the dark ages for people living in the global south
