Rise of the Anglosphere

- What is the Anglosphere and how did it come to rise into a global pan-ethnic/cultural identity? The Anglosphere is a region of the world that is descended directly from British colonial endeavors from across the world, including North America, Oceania and parts of Africa. Although these countries today such as the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are all overwhelmingly English-speaking today, with a strong historic connection to the culture, traditions, genetics, laws and politics of the British Isles, including England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. These 4 nations off the coast of Europe were united under the banner of the British Empire for centuries and in the diaspora, their descendants melded and fused into a common culture, although of course each various nation has their own historical and cultural quirks derived from their unique situations and migrations patterns. Today, the societies of the Anglosphere are closely connected and enjoy mostly positive relations despite being scattered across the globe and separated by hundreds of years on the colonial timeline. Let me know your thoughts on the Anglosphere and these Anglophone nations, how you believe past actions have helped to shape them in the modern day and where you believe the future will take this quasi-civilizational bloc that may come to converge or diverge with one another in the upcoming century. Thanks for watching!

The fact that English was the dominant world language when the internet arose has insured that it will continue to spread and become even more dominant. The flexibility and huge vocabulary of English make it a great choice for a common world language.
@@Sezstu they thought the same of Greek and Latin in their times before they became dead languages also.
@@edmonddantes5104technically not greek
You can still go to Greece/Cyprus and find people speaking in greek
Damn right
@@edmonddantes5104 They thought the same thing? Don't remember the ancient greeks having the internet man
Also it's simplicity. No gendered nouns, only a few verb cases, only one inflection. The TH and SH sounds are a little weird and for best effect you'll need the hard R, but even spoken poorly without these sounds it's still highly intelligible. I've been told by polyglots that for getting a hotel room or a car to the airport english is hard to beat for simplicity and effectiveness.

Being English I often find the world speaks better English than I do.
Could be. As a native speaker for you english is a living language that is changing slowly over time by the person2person use in your local community.
For those who use english as a second language we learned it in a formal setting (=school) so we learned the formal official grammar, spelling and syntax.
We still understand one and other tho. So that works.
The big factor going forward is the internet on which english is the dominant language.
There are lots of english slang words i picked up from the internet. It's kinda fun actually.

Like me I also find that alot of people speak and enunciate better than some of us Saxons despite not being from England or even being European at all
Could be worse. You could speak American.

Thank Uncle Sam for that. As a colony of the U.S., the Philippines went from being a hispanophone country to an anglophone country.

From an ancient West European angle it is wonderful that so much of the world speaks one of the old Germanic languages (English) and the two Iberian languages (Spanish & Portuguese) which arise from Latin. In the last 50 years English has been massively boosted across the globe through pop music and then in the last twenty five years via the worldwide web. As ever, a thrilling video from Masaman.
Why wonderful..thats the patology of faustian civilisation...you lost ur own identity and tradition in a global boundless washmashine, and still have to apologise to everyone cos of imperial things...poles and checks in eastern europe are happy to be natural by theself
i feel like it was quite massive before then, in large part due to colonization and trade
They likely dont. These people cared much more for blood over language, and our modern pop culture would be allien and scvary to them.
"it is wonderful that so much of the world speaks one of the old Germanic languages (English)"
English is not a Germanic language. It´s a Latin language with a strong Germanic substrate. It´s a mixed language as the Anglo societies today are. Colorful, multicultural, divers, vibranrt, feminist, lgbtq-ish.

This video talks about two different concepts. The Anglosphere and the Anglophone countries.
The Anglosphere is the Five eyes countries: Australia, Canada, NZ, UK and the US. These 5 could be subdivided into 2 groups in terms of cultural similarity, Australia, NZ and the UK are one group. The US is the other group and Canada is in between.
The Anglophone group of countries also includes Ireland, Jamacia, possibly Singapore and some others where the English language is dominant.
The Phillipines is usually considered culturally part of the wider Malay world by culture although English is quite common there.
The Philippines has more cultural and historical links with the Hispanic world, than the Malay world, because we Filipinos don't speak the Malay language or predominantly practice the Islamic religion.
Canada is almost identical to the US. Its more similar the the US than Ireland is to Scotland…
I don't really agree with your subdivision of the Anglosphere. Why split them as you did? Explain your division.
@@lexingtonconcord8751 OC makes a clear distinction among the majority white anglophone countries of direct "anglo-saxon stock" and a history of settler colonialism under the British Empire, in contrast with the anglophone countries without a white majority and a history of exploitative colonialism under the Brits and later 'merican influence.
@@BN.ja05 The only thing that is clear is your struggle with reading comprehension. He separated out the white majority nations into two categories of "cultural similarity": 1) United States and Canada; and 2) United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand.
This division makes no sense. I don't see how Australia is more "culturally similar" to England than Canada and the United States. Sit this one out bub, it's above your pay grade. I'd like to hear his explanation if you don't mind.

@@belstar1128I think we should inform them about this at the very least.
I live in U.S. most of my life and I found it strange that English is not an official language in America.
Because there were many other languages before the US was established. Not to mention the constant and different immigration waves from Europe and other parts. At one point there were more German immigrants
@@hipolitolopez3775 No that's not why, lots of countries don't have an "official" language, usually because there is no point. Like here in the UK, we do not have an official language. It's pretty obvious to everyone that English is THE language of the nation. We don't need a law to make that the case, it's just self-evident from how universal it is in every facet of British life. The US too never saw a need to make language laws given the dominance of English. A lot of countries that do have language laws or "official" languages do so because there is not one dominant language, but lots of different languages, so language is more politically contentious there.
@@hipolitolopez3775 Though at times German immigration topped the immigration charts (UK and Germany were always the top two, and if you split GB and Ireland, they made the top three), they still assimilated into the Anglophone culture, this was normal for Germanic immigrants, three quarters of German immigrants were proddys and English was not an unknown language, UK and Germany had very close ties prior to 1914.
Thomas Sowell has written a rather good book about it.
Why would it be? English is not even a major ethnic group in USA anymore. 200 years ago, it would make sense, but modern USA is actually a diverse place, hence the crime rate.
@@atroix851 Looking at recent data, English is the fourth largest group (without taking into account the undercounting). Putting that to one side though, the Boss class is (still mostly) from that group, and US governance are based on laws from that group, with English common law being the bedrock. It seems unlikely that any other language would subsume English, as country is based on it science and travel.
I feel like the more time passes, the more our sphere converges, I mean, I'm a Brit, but I've noticed how americanised we've become throughout my lifetime, and I'm a 90's baby, so we're talking over the past 30 years
Ironically Americans have an obsession with British stuff, I swear people here love the royal family more than you guys. They seem to associate British English with bieng fancy.

Yeah, as an American, I grew up with plenty of British music, shows, movies, and cartoons, and many CZcamsrs I follow are Brits, Aussies, and especially Canucks. I see us all merging even more closely, not growing apart, at least, not anytime soon. I also grew up with some Aussie stuff, Wiggles was a core part of my childhood.

What about South Africa?
When I travelled to Europe I was pleased to find everyone under 30 spoke English. And this was ten years ago. So many native Russians also speak English.
The fact that a small island in Northern Europe has been able to assert such an overwhelming influence over the globe has always fascinated me. One has to wonder what it is about these people that produced such dominance. Especially high intelligence? Cut throat colonialism? Superior diplomacy? A highly developed society that lends itself to cross cultural expansion? A combination of factors? It’s anyone’s guess.
meat pies and beer
According to cognitive tests and the Pisa tests, Northern Europe is the second region with high scores, but is surpassed by East Asia. If we talk about culture, European culture is of a conquering nature similar to the Arabs or the ancient Mongols, Europe began to conquer the world after the discovery of the Americas, it can be said that that was the first turning point, however the according The turning point occurred when Northern Europeans began to overtake Southern Europeans such as the Spanish and Portuguese, this was largely due to a production economy, while extractive economies such as the Spanish Empire were left behind, the third Turning point the industrial revolution, which took the British Empire to the next level.
@@user-yt3xd2jl6d East Asia has always been held back by isolationism. Their intelligence is often not fully utilised by their governments to the fullest, at least historically. Now these nations, especially China and Japan, have been unleashed into a world that has already been colonised and so they missed the opportunity. Germanic Europeans are also split into many nations and so they competed with each other during colonialism.
@@togerboy5396 Intelligence is highly overrated, the most successful people rarely exceed 110 and often exceed 90, so the range of success in these scores. Those who exceed 130 show surprising abilities in tests but their success rate in real life tends to drop in relation to people between 110 and 90. This is what research at large universities has found.
Quite underwhelming: geopolitics.
Many empires have come, claiming to be superior over one and the other because of their welfare, the size of their land or their population.
In reality, the only natural cause differentiating a people with welfare from a people that are impoverished is how strategically located their land has been throughout history.
We can see that over time, the relevance of these regions have changed. Civilisation gained traction in the Nile and other river societies soon sprung up because of the fertile lands surrounding them.
As rivers lost their prominence, it was eventually Italy that controlled its world through the Meditterranean sea, which gave it a freepass to many trading partners.
Britain basically had a cheatcode, being located at the beginning of a wide sea which it could use to travel to many continents easily. Most countries don't have that luxury, while Britain controlled the sea's high ground.
Eventually, we've now come to the tale of America as well as China. Both of these nations are far corners of the world, who control earth's resources through their advantageous locations next to the sea. This is what has made them successfull as nations.
There have been many people who claim to have been given divine power, using their welfare as means to strengthen these claims. Whether or not God has provided them with their riches is not for us to decide. What we do know is that the one's who are highest up on this green earth, eventually see their greatest fall. Let us hope for the West's sake that this will not be the case.
Great video, also worth noting that all of the Anglophone countries are democracies where freedom, justice, law and order and civil rights are operating. This in itself is a triumph that shouldnt be ignored. These values and freedoms are not necessarily so common elsewhere. This is a message perhaps to others?

Years ago I had an expat Chinese co-worker who claimed the English was ubiquitous because of Anglo imperialism. Well, there was that, but another co- worker how hard it was to express some technical issues in some native tongues, Japanese was his case in point. I maintained that English makes no claims to purity since everyone invaded England at one time or another. Instead, English has developed to be a very versatile tool that willingly adopts bits from other languages as needs be. Many local versions of English exist. Hence, widespread use.

This is now more important than ever.
I'm Canadian, with mostly English ancestry. From what I've heard Canadians get treated quite well over there (especially once the Brits find out we're not American ;-) ). I know we get a lot of British folks either visiting, or moving here to Canada, and we tend to get along quite well.

gibraltar is not a british territory.
The treaty of Utretch strictly said gibraltar would under no cirscumstance be ceded to england, however, spain would be forced to give them trading and docking rights over the rock, just as britain demanded from spanish american ports after the war of spanish succession, however, britain instead decided to stay and either execute or force all the native gibraltarians out of the rock, replacing all those spaniards with british people, something that can be considered as ethnic genocide.
Thus, internationally gibraltar should be considered spanish territory under british occupation, and it doesn't matter if "gibraltarians" voted to stay with britain, because they're not the actual gibraltarians, they are simply brits placed in spanish soil, so wether they want to "stay" or leave britain they'll be forced to leave.
To put this into perspective, i'll propose a situation.
Lets imagine during the spanish armada of 1744, spain succeeded with its invasion of mainland england, and upon the proposal of a peace deal, spain demand the annexation of the english city of dover, a major port for the english cannal, and britain says no, yet spain stills maintains an occupation and either exiles or executes every englishman on the city to replace it with spaniards, 200 years later, they do a referendum; what do you think they would choose? obviously, to stay with spain; do you think british people would be angry and demand spain to return dover? of course.
and this is not the only case, it also happens to cuba with guantanamo, argentina with the falklands, guatemala with belize, venezuela with essequibo, mexico with the sandwich islands and france, mexico with america and the loss o 50% of its land... god knows what'll happen if hispanics wake up.

What gets me is that recently I learned, though feel free to double check this, that English wasn’t really the world’s most spoken language during the British Empire as it was French during that time, but it was at the end of WWII when Americans became on of the world’s superpower. To me that actually explains the undertone of resentment some of the French (not all) have in being more condescending towards us Americans even though we had an alliance that goes back to our country’s independence. I know recently certain French have felt very resentful that it’s English that’s the most spoken language and thanks to American and British culture, the trade the US does with over half of the planet, or how the Chinese will lose international influence, as well as the internet, it likely going to stay that way. We accidentally made many of the French pissed which honestly does make me sad.
That's sounds like a very American take on reality, considering English became the international language of trade between 17th and 18th century 🤔, No arguments against the explosion of Americans influences on the world stage after ww2, but to claim the spread of the English down to American influences after the war and in just 80 years, come on!!.

India was a former British colony and has the world's largest English speaking population on earth, should India be included in the Anglosphere?
Nope.
We are part of the broader Anglophone world (10-15% of the population speaks English), not the Anglosphere.
The Anglosphere strictly refers to countries that have ethnic and cultural ties to England.
@@kc4276 there are Indians of Anglo origins, about a third of the occupying British force during Raj had mixed Indian and Anglo origins and most of their descendents still live in India.

No.
I think it definitely isn't incorrect to group the Anglosphere together into some pan-ethnic super identity, so long as that doesn't come at the expense of other national identities.
Or, in other words, I don't think the Anglosphere identity is wrong, but I don't think most of the Anglosphere would actively describe themselves as being part of it unprompted.
It works for Britain. Like, the UK is a union of England, Scotland and Wales but the natives of Britain don't primarily identify as British, they identify as their ethnic group (Scottish, English, Welsh, etc).
@@Dushmann_ ...Except for the English when you put "British" as the first option on the census form :Y

Just because Hispanics assimilate into American culture doesn't mean the same story happens in other anglophone countries.
Here in UK, there is extreme cultural clashes and a lack of assimilation due to the ethnoreligious makeup of the immigration we chose to import. There's even an Islamic political party and independent Islamic MPs.
Right now we even have race/religious riots. Hindus fighting Muslims, whites fighting all immigrants etc etc
Also, the native birthrate in the UK is in decline while the immigrant birthrate is high.
The anglosphere is more than just language, it's the shared ancestry, the fact we look similar, same history. The way demographics are going, at least for the UK, the anglosphere is ironically gonna be without the UK
But most immigranta live in cities, which are demographic black holes

Good vid, but I think there are three different things talked about here. 1) The "Core" Anglophone countries where the majority of the pop. speaks English (US, Can, UK, Aus, NZ). These countries were initially tied to the UK ethnically but are less so now (the majority of modern Americans, myself included, do not trace the majority of our ancestry to Britain, but there's still a cultural tie between the countries). 2) Formerly colonized countries that now have English as a primary language, such as Singapore. Countries like Kenya and Nigeria, even the Philippines, are becoming more and more centered on English as they develop and urbanize. (Ireland, arguably, also fits in this category.) 3) The use of English as a widespread lingua franca that is nonetheless not going to displace native languages, such as in the EU countries. The Dutch, for instance, can speak English brilliantly, but they're not going to stop speaking Dutch.
Yes, The UK, Australia, NZ and Canada are fascinated with American politics but British, Canadians and Americans know little about Australian and NZ history, politics and culture.

Can you also do videos on francophone

I saw a mistake. We are not latinoamericans, we are hispanicamerican
Can you speak us about *asian latinos?* I think is one of the most ignored groups between latinos.
You know, the descendants of chinese, japanese, indias inmigrants that went to Hispanic America. As the indians inmigrants in Panama, the chinese inmigration in Cuba and Peru, or the japanese descendants in Bolivia that fled from Japan after 2nd war. Even you could speak about filipinos, because they are very similar to the hispanic latinos in culture, religion, phisionomic traces, and some words. Not to mention their history under Spanish rule by +100 years. Are very similar to them but the languages. So much than many consider the filipinos also a latino/hispanic country.
(Being part of the anglosphere and hispanic sphere at same time).
Maybe also you can talk us about the oceanic latinos (chilean from Easter island from Chile).
Also you could add in here the arabian latinos, west asian latinos. That from many decades emigrated from l3b4n0n and others muz l1m countries to latam. Is notorious even as n 4 y1b bu k3l3 from El s4l va d0r. He's descendant from mu zl1m inmigrants fled from m1d dl3 eastern.
Pd:Note, maybe would considerate speak about the Equato Guinean that are considered themselves hispanic africans. Or latino africans.
Almost nobody spoke about it. By not say nobody on internet.
Brazil has a huge impact on Portugal and USA has a huge impact on United Kingdom. You don't see Argentina, Mexico or Chile influence on Spain.
Spain has seemingly too depressed and unimportant to be influenced by its colonies. It was also the second most populous Spanish speaking country for a long time until the rest of its colonies caught up.
The UK and Portugal have colonies that truly DWARF them in size and thus dragging the cultural center to them. Not to mention much closer contact. Compared to that, México is simply not that large or influential until relatively recently. So perhaps as México grows in importance, it'll influence Spain more, or maybe it's simply been too long.
@@buddermonger2000 very true. The only spanish country that I can see influencing Spain was Argentina which at one point an economic and cultural power than came the peronist who changed Argentina global impact for the worse.
@@Bronxguyanese Argentina being richer than Spain by being richer than France is honestly a wild historical event to think about now. Though even then I don't think Spain had many trade links with Argentina.
Honestly I think the UK may be the weird one in terms of its colonies since the Transatlantic telegraph cable between New York and London was only a century after independence, and only two after initial colonization. In comparison I'm unsure there exists any comparable link between any Spanish colonies and Spain.
I think Portugal is also strange in that their royal line still ruled their colony with the first Brazilian empire lol. So the ties there were also much stronger.
Compared to the Hispanic-american independence processes, the USA and specially Brazil got emancipated fairly easily and smoothly, without much bloodshed or chaos. Also, Spain got into futher turmoil with their civil war and the loss of their 2nd Empire by the hands of the USA, again Portugal and specially the UK remained stable or growing while Spain was in a dictatorship. No womder they couldn't manage to stablish any significant links with the other hispanics across the pond.
Duolingo, the language app represents English with an American flag and teaches American English. Portuguese has the Brazilian flag and version of the language. However Spanish keeps the Spanish flag even though Mexico is the biggest Spanish speaking nation.
There is no such language as Chinese. A national "mandarin" dialect was developed in the 20th century called pu tong hua. This modern language can be spoken by most Chinese, non the less, there are still many regional dialects spoken in China today.
That's pedantic, even you would probably agree with that.
Mandarin, popularly Chinese. Castellano, popularly Spanish. Moving on.
The irony is that in the UK us British people are surrounded by African, Indian, Muslim and other communities only speaking in their own languages.

This is why the Death Note was written in English
Thank you, Mason, for briefly mentioning British Isles descendants in South America, especially in the Southern Cone. There was an Anglo-Argentine community that punched way above their small numbers in exerting economic influence in Argentina in the early 20th century.
In fact, Argentina (plus Uruguay) itself would have became part of the Anglosphere if the British rather than the Criollos held victory in the early 1800s just before the Spanish-American struggle for independence, thereby ushering in a significant British/Irish immigration and making English a main language alongside Spanish (not unlike the pattern in white South Africa, but substituting Spanish for Afrikaans/Dutch).
Even as it was, Argentina in the early 20th century was the "honorary dominion" or the "sixth dominion", informally alongside Canada, Newfoundland, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.
Not only Argentina, all of Latin America was puppeted by the Brits and later the Americans after their independence processes.
Love the anglosphere 🎉❤
Congo is still more francophone.
That's what it's always fucked up 😊😊
In the past year, since learning my ancestry is primarily northern English instead of highland Scottish, I’ve dived deep into Anglo history and transformed my sense of identity.

Sweden is also rapidly becoming anglo-influenced. I've personally met several elementary aged native swedish kids, coming to work as interns at our company, who struggle with swedish but can speak english almost fluently, to the point where they say they find english easier.
I've heard from teachers both directly and indirectly of similar situations in classrooms where swedish children have sighed and said to the teachers "Cant we do it in english instead?". It is being attributed to internet habits and access to media, since most films/youtube/social media is in english.
The kids with unfettered access to/an internet centric lifestyle are exposed almost entirely to english text which means the only reading they ever do is in english! It may very well be as a direct result of the pandemic. If it continues at this rate we may end up with many of the coming generation struggling to understand their own mother toungue.

Way too many boers coloureds Indians and Afrikans to be truly British.
A funny occurance I see is that every Anglo nation has a unique pair: Always there is the More powerful, controversial, and influential one and the less powerful, less infleuntial, but much more unanimously liked (when remembered) one, despite both on the whole being virtually twins.
Example: Uk & Ireland, USA & Canada, Australia & NZ, and if you wanna include Anglo-Africa, South Africa & Rhodesia (R.I.P)

The Scots in Eastern Europe is a fairly interesting and little explores topic. With regards to Scotland and Russia, they share a patron saint. Hence why Russia also uses a variation of St Andrew's cross as a flag. Foma Fomych Makenzi, the founder of Sebastopol was a Scot the native name of whom was Thomas MacKenzie. Consequently Sebastopol should be handed over to an Independent Scotland 😂 There's a few more notable Russians with a Scottish background. An unexpected but interesting relationship.
Warsaw had a Scottish mayor, Krosno and Elbląg were also very Scottish.
@@brick6347 I've heard Scots settled in Poland Lithuania as well. One funny connection between Poland and Scotland is that Bonny Prince Charlie was Jan Sobieski's grandson.
I'm from Québec and I find the anglosphere to be more united than the francosphere. The French language generally has more prescriptivistic tendencies compared to English. Also, none of the former French colony became nearly as influential as France. Francophone nations across the world have their own culture that rarely interact with the others. Everything gravitate towards France. A Québécois will vastly interact with Québécois cultural products and with some Franco-European cultural products, but almost never with Franco-African ones for example.
At least, that's how I feel it is. Maybe other francophones have a completely different experience than I do and it's just that we got separated from the Francosphere way earlier than other francophone nations and were also more isolated (engulfed in an almost entirely anglophone North America).
Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom will team up more and more. Shared British heritage.
Not with all the immigration
@@rabidL3M0NS CANZUK countries will continue to receive mass immigration regardless so that's a bit of a non point if I'm honest.
The US, UK, Canada, Australia, and NZ should form an Anglo Union, something like the EU. Then it can slowly expand as more of the world becomes more Anglo.
The Philippines would be better off rejoining the Hispanosphere geocultural bloc by reinstating Spanish as its co-official language and compulsory language of instruction in the Philippine education system because the more we Filipinos try to mimic white Anglophone cultural practices, the more we suffer a chronic identity crisis because being an Anglo from our perspective is to have white skin that the overwhelming majority of Filipinos don't have at birth.

Fun Fact about the Anglo-sphere: It was Russia who saved The Union during the American Civil War as they sent their Navy to San Francisco and New York when England and France were just about to enter the war on the side of the Confederates since London created the Confederates. France was already in Mexico making a spear head movement to resupply the Confederates and to open up a Pacific Theatre and to create a port in California. England already amassed 11,000 troops and growing stationed at their Northern Confederacies border now called Canada ready to open a Northern Theatre to divert Union troops away from their Southern Confederacy then to attack The Unions naval blockade. The Union would have been completely destroyed and annexed by those two great powers leaving the Confederates to exist as either a puppet state of London or to be fully brought back into the fold of the British Empire.
London was already courting (threatening/bribing) other countries to get involved like Spain while Russia was in talks with Prussia to ally with incase London was to intervene.
Seeing all of this Tsar Alexander II wrote a letter to Queen Victoria saying “If you enter in this war it will be a casus belli for all out war with the Russian Empire”. The stage was set for the 1st World War and Russia stopped it.
There is also a memorial in San Francisco for the hundreds of Russian sailors who came off their Asiatic fleet ships that died while helping the city put out a fire that threatened to lay waste to it during the War.
The Russian fleet also threatened to Shell Australian ports along with other British Pacific Colonies if Britain aided the Confederates. A confederate war ship spent a lot of time in Australian waters and was supported by the Australian public, some even signing on as crew members. This Confederate war ship laid waist to the US Pacific whaling fleet and is reported to have fired the last shot in the war. The name of the ship was called the CSS Shenandoah. Its surrender was at Liverpool England where Confederate Commander Bulloch was stationed.
Bulloch was the head spy Chief for the Confederates and main go between for London, Montreal, and Richmond. He was heavily involved in the finance of the South with British banking and supplied the south with its warships as most of them were made by the British. He was good friends with those who drafted the Very discriminatory Confederate Constitution and those that would later create the 'Clan'. He was also heavily involved in the assassinations of Lincoln and his cabinet members. He was Also the Uncle to President Theodore Roosevelt (on his mothers side of course) and Teddy greatly looked up to him and learned much from him from a very early age. Teddy called him 'Uncle Jimmy'. This is where Teddy Roosevelt got the idea for the 'Eff Bee Eye' he modeled it almost exactly from Londons 'Em Eye Five'.
Russia also helped Thailand (Kingdom of Siam) maintain its sovereignty from being completely Partitioned/Annexed from the British and French around the same time. The very word Thai (ไทย) means 'free man' in the Thai language which is partially to thank to the Russians as they might have ended up being a colony or part of another country/colony if not for their intervention.
According to you the UK and France wanted to divide the world between each other like the Portuguese and Spanish once did, and later the Americans and Soviets.
@@BN.ja05 I think you will enjoy this quote from the Russian Foreign Minister Alexander Gorchakov writing to Lincoln in the Autumn of 1862 a year and a half into the war-
"You know that the government of United States has few friends among the Powers. England rejoices over what is happening to you; she longs and prays for your overthrow. France is less actively hostile; her interests would be less affected by the result; but she is not unwilling to see it. She is not your friend. Your situation is getting worse and worse. The chances of preserving the Union are growing more desperate. Can nothing be done to stop this dreadful war? The hope of reunion is growing less and less, and I wish to impress upon your government that the separation, which I fear must come, will be considered by Russia as one of the greatest misfortunes. Russia alone, has stood by you from the first, and will continue to stand by you. We are very, very anxious that some means should be adopted-that any course should be pursued-which will prevent the division which now seems inevitable. One separation will be followed by another; you will break into fragments."
@@BN.ja05 Here is another quote I think you will like but from Tsar Alexander II in an Interview after the war:
"In the Autumn of 1862, the governments of France and Great Britain proposed to Russia, in a formal but not in an official way, the joint recognition by European powers of the independence of the Confederate States of America. My immediate answer was: "I will not cooperate in such action; and I will not acquiesce. On the contrary, I shall accept the recognition of the independence of the Confederate States by France and Great Britain as a casus belli for Russia. And in order that the governments of France and Great Britain may understand that this is no idle threat; I will send a Pacific fleet to San Francisco and an Atlantic fleet to New York."

Britain has literally invented and discovered 44% of all things EVER to exist. Some Canadian researchers think its closer to 52%. The next closest country is France with 24%.
My gosh propaganda has worked effectively on you
@Incog80 it's independent research done by several different countries that aren't britain. e.g. japan, its only propaganda if it was britian doing the research and not countries doing it independently of each other. In the 1600's Britain made something called "the Royal society" it was the birth of modern science and mathematics.
@@lewis666lewis I won't deny the influence of Modern science by the brits but to say they invented 44 % of everything is absurd

Roughly 40% of the words in the English language are French in origin. Because English has so many words from 2 languages it is extremely descriptive. Also, The Republic of Ireland is not part of the UK or the Commonwealth.
Wait what?? i didn't know that is it true? Can you give examples
@barhat961 Well it's slightly complicated. Most French words in English come from the Normans who invaded the Anglo-Saxon lands in 1066 and subsequently conquered them. They became the ruling nobles and continued using French for centuries. Some words have come more recently for various reasons. I'm not knowledgeable enough to tell you which ones are which without researching each word. Some are spelled exactly the same and some are a varient, especially in American English. We often use a French word and a Germanic word to describe the same thing in different context or to differentiate minor details. There are also English words that have been adopted into the modern French vocabulary. Some French and English words share a common Latin origin, especially in the sciences. Here are some French words in English I know of. Centre, honour, serviete, solder, determine.

So many on here arguing that America is Anglophone but not Anglosphere bc of the large amount of nonAS blood. So my question is, how much does it take? My father's from Cuba, my mother's family is mostly German with some British, we spoke English at home (my Spanish is barely passable), I look white with a slight tan, so am I only Anglophone and and Anglosphere? Maybe another 3/5's compromise?
Never liked the term "AngloSphere". It's too specific of a term that fails to capture the true identity of English speakers
Britanny, Ireland, etc are brought up in the video and are Celtic. they has no relation to Germans, but rather to the Celtic and Latin roots of the British isles
We are all mixed up genetically anyway. Celt is just a social construct that has been kept going for "reasons". Nearly all celts also have Germanic/Scandinavian/Angles/Saxons/Jutes etc etc blood in them.
Puerto Rico is still a US Colony, 123 years and counting, and even though the US banned Spanish and forced English into the Colony, the people never gave up the Spanish Language.
