- During Britain’s heyday, it controlled territory in practically every corner of the planet, and throughout its history, Britain was able to invade 90% of the countries around the world. The craziest part is how they did it. Check out today's insane new video to learn all about how Britain pillaged, plundered and invaded all but a small handful of countries during the years the Empire was forming.

There has to be more than 220 countries though, so if only 22 haven't been invaded, it must be more like 93/94%
@@stevelowe2647 There are 193 countries in the world today. At the height of the British empire, there were far less
Jokes on you, we invaded the British (Dane)
@@laurakastrup no, you invaded Anglo Saxons in pre-joined England, let alone Great Britain. And that was 1500 years ago. And it was mostly the Norse..
@@stevelowe2647 eh, technically they did invade England after it formed. Not sure if that’s the same at all as the British empire.
Make your mind up - Britain and England aren't interchangeable terms.
Prior to 1707 you're talking about England, whereas after 1707 it's Britain.
England is still the powerhouse of britian
Ian, I'm a Yank who's Mother was born in Oxford. I didn't know that. Thank you for educating me.
@Steven English 1707 was the Act of Union where the Kingdom of Great Britain was formed.
(Not yet Northern Ireland - the history of the English then the British in Ireland is far too complicated to go into here).
That's why you'll have maybe heard about the Scottish independence movement - trying to end 300+ years of Union... hopefully.

Hey info graphics I would like to see a video explaining Why gunpowder was around for hundreds of years but why did it take so long for breach loaded weapons and cartridge fired bullets to be developed?
Because it was created in China, and it was used by the Taoists as medicine and therefore looked at as a medical tool, not "Hmmm. What small handheld things should we create that will then use this to expel small projectiles towards whatever it's aimed at."
This might be another cool episode.
Purely down to not having precision engineering.
Germany invented the first breech loaded gun, and Paris invented the first cartridge fired bullets. Both were invented between 1840 and 1850, which was a tumultuous time in the world with a lot of wars and battles being fought between countries all over the world, especially in Europe, and it is those wars that led to the assassination of Franz Ferdinand in 1914 and the beginning of WWI.
knowledge cause people were inferior back in the days so they had to wait for human evolution to take place and produce such smart person that can develop it into a weapon. this pretty much standard for everything like we might find immortality within next 50-100yrs something we can’t atm due to limitations

The biggest legacy for me is that English is the most widely spoken language in the world both in terms of absolute numbers and in the number of countries it is spoken in.
But that's actually mainly due to the USA global influence rather than the UK.
@@Android18uk The English language was spread around the world long before the usa became a world influence
@@davehoward22 @dave h Yeah, it was obviously spread a lot by British colonalism originally but I believe this impact would have eventually faded had it not been for the global economic, cultural and political influence of the US. Just Hollywood movies alone had a massive impact on the spread of the English language across the globe.
@@Android18uk not true
England colonised a quarter of world population
So even without America culture
English will have still.been widely spoken
@@user-bs5qr5ie4s Yes, it is true, but at the same time, many other European languages are widely spoken too, particularly French and Spanish. Also, the main language of the US could have been Dutch. But the fact that it did end up being English and it became the language of academia and Hollywood movies and a lot of music from the US, is pretty much why English is the lingua franca rather than another European language.

This episode claims British troops landed in India in 1858 as a result of the US War of Independence. In reality British troops had already been in India for at least 100 years by that date (including forces of the East India Company).1858 is the year Britain established the British Raj in India, ruling until Indian independence in 1947, just following WW2. Independence partially granted due to India's huge contribution to the allies during WW1 & WW2. It is from this era that the highly regarded Ghurka regiment was established consisting of Nepalese soldiers serving in the British army - and continues to this day.

Just a completely unforeseen coincidence that as soon as Scotland and England go on to create Britain it explodes in power. I dislike it when you use England and Britain as the same thing, overshadowing the many Welsh, Irish and Scottish lives lost in both world wars and our contributions to the empire.

same mindset that poisons our society today still. Private companies driven by greed, exploiting everyone for profit, governments let them get away with terrible acts with plausible deniability , so they could set up a colony, then tax the locals so they got a slice of profits and resources to further and fund its globalist agenda. in that regard not much has changed when it comes to big business/big pharma/ oil companies and banks.

British shipbuilders in the 17th and maybe 18th centuries may not have been the best, but by the 19th century they were far ahead of the rest of the world. British engineers generally in that period were world leading.
Does that have to with white race Brain power or just sheer coincidence that even Sudan could become as powerful as America one day if they worked hard ???
I think british navy was most powerful navy since like mid 17th century

Hi - Love the video but can we please break the common American tradition of using England, Great Britain, The United Kingdom etc interchangeably. Also FYI the flag used was only officially adopted between 1707 and 1801 - After 1801 we use the flag we still use today. Scotland, Wales, and Ireland all played a very important part in the British identity and history!
Interesting video, shame flag wrong throughout 🇬🇧

@@Rowlph8888 Scots, Welshmen, and northern Irishmen often don’t like to be described as English that’s why. If anything it’s less about cantankerous Englishmen and more about acknowledging the other nations.
I want the union to remain so that’s why I emphasise my point.
Edit: Also I wanted them to put the correct flag (From 1801) rather than the union flag of 1707. Still the Union flag but updated. It's similar to me using the 13 colonies flag for the US as a whole.

The English were quite strategic. In many places they backed rival factions and helped them overthrow the existing rulers instead of going directly against them. Example: helping the 2nd in line to the throne get rid of the heir apparent. Back in the day, all governments were monarchies, and whenever there are monarchies, there are always competing claims and feuding noble houses

Nice video
After reading a book about the history of Britain ( David starkey) I learnt so much about the fabric of the country itself, it’s entire history before William the conquerer making the country run and influenced by many cultures who are good at invasion. One of the most influential were Norman’s who themselves came from vikings (sea gangsters). Along with strong rulers like Elizabeth 1st and navy it made the UK more powerful despite being an island. I have a love hate take on British empire but you have to give Britain it’s flowers for at one point owning so much of the world
The fact that we're an island actually made us stronger, we didn't need to have a huge army, (not saying we didn't have one) we just needed a huge navy
@@strategist7190Well you guys like dominated the sea for like almost 4 centuries(1600 up to early 1900)
Invaders and liars, without lies they would never beat the spanish empire.
its like saying, that the brits graped and the countries which got graped were asking for it
Mate the Normans were the French and the Danes were vikings.
The Normans and the Vikings were 2 totally different people's and the two of them invaded England at the same time in 1066 due to a competing bid to rule England.
"What a funny little island. I wonder what it used to do several years ago."
Eypgt fell off bro
I dare say that if by "invasion" we mean actually carrying out an armed invasion of the place (whether or not it leads to a capture of the territory in question) rather than just stepping foot there or having more indirect influence or some other loose definition, then Great Britain invaded well under 90% of the world's present-day countries.
Depends on what the definition of invasion is I suppose.

Between 1810s and 1880s was the heights of British power
They directly ruled 20% of world population and indirectly ruled 4%(princely states of India)
They had informal empire on 40-50% (like china)of the world
No nation had ever came close to the British in controlling the most of the world

It really isn't difficult to understand the difference between England, Britain and the UK. England - one of the four 'home nations' of the UK. Britain - The Island of Britain which is made up of three of the four 'home nations' - England, Scotland and Wales. The UK - All four 'home nations' - the entirety of the island of Britain and the remaining 'home nation' of Northern Ireland.
The problem is what term do you call a citizen of the UK? British? If so, how does that make sense with those in Northern Ireland?
US has a similar issue.
@@wcg19891For Northern Ireland it's complicated. For citizenship, people born there can literally choose whether they're Irish, British or both if at least one parent was either.

I think there is something to the genetic make up of the British people, at least the people in this time period. Thinking about the attributes of Celts, Romans, Saxons (et al) vikings and Normans. I know the Normans were basically Vikings too but they were different due to organisation, logistics and resource.
So, in the genetic make up you could argue efficient empire building, seafaring exploration and warfare are well coded and possibly amplified by being an island nation.
No
@@domonicmorris2448 wow. Stunning debate skills there. You've convinced me. 🤡
That's what I think it was too. They were stuck on an island and winter was coming so they went out to the world to secure resources. Survival of the fittest
No one has invaded england since so it’s still the same genetic makeup and that’s why I think there’s so much hooliganism and bad behaviour abroad from English people because now they can’t conquer everything they just act like they own it

Hey @The Infographics Show Would the U.S. be able to sustain and survive if they got completely isolated from the rest of the world?
Their own natural resources and crops. Also the Frenchies helped a bit haha this is why Australia never left the Commonwealth because we were always reliant on england for certain things we couldn't produce down under because of climate and soil conditions
Yes, they would. Geopolitical strategist Peter zeihan talks about this. They would not exist as they do now, but they could survive.
They have the largest contiguous piece of arable farmland in the world. The Midwest is insane from a food production standpoint. They can feed the entire country with surplus if allowed to do so.
When I think about it, I can't see any reason that we couldn't. We're very blessed with natural resources of just about every kind plus we have the manufacturing and technological capability to sustain and continue progressing as well. Sure, we'd lose some things that we import but they aren't necessities, they're just bonuses to living here. Now if we were completely cut off, sure it'd be a rough 10 years as we struggled to rebuild industries that have long since left and find solutions for the few things that we don't naturally have but we do have the know how to do that with no issue. In some ways, I think it would be better if we went back to pre WW2.

Surprisingly, most of my fellow Filipinos do not know that the British Empire occupied Manila and Cavite for 2 years, from 1762 to 1764.
The British was also responsible for Diego Silang's death after they promised him military assistance to support his revolt against Spain, which never happened. This also led to the death of Diego's wife, Gabriela Silang after she took the mantle of leadership after Diego's execution.
The Brits invaded the Philippines after Spain decided to side with France during the Seven Years' War.
It’s a small thing but the East India Company occupied Manila, not the British Empire. The British Empire left when they captured Spanish treasure, but the East India Company (which was separate to government and a “private” company) wanted their own compensation so they held Manila hostage until the British government kicked them out

Britain tried to invade URUGUAY 🇺🇾 and they were defeated in 1806, great video!
Britain, in the form of a privateering/filibustering mission, tried to invade Argentina (specifically Buenos Aires) in 1806 and was defeated, then on a more professional armed basis Britain captured Uruguay (specifically Montevideo) in February 1807, and then later in 1807 Britain tried once more to invade Argentina (again, specifically Buenos Aires) and was defeated. It was after that last defeat that Britain withdrew from both Buenos Aires and Montevideo.
It wasn’t serious…if it were then small Uruguay at the time would had been invaded by 30 ship of the line.
We still own some territories like the falklands and other smaller islands and some of are old empire countries are still influenced by are decisions
What about the privateers (basically: pirates with a licence)?
That is a term for state sponsored ships pilfering the Spanish gold by attacking their ships etc which they had just pilfered themselves from South America..
And at the height of their power the British declared war on slavery. Made it illegal everywhere they went !! The first power in the world to be able to and make an attempt. As per usual most of the world followed suit... eventually.
They basically then proceeded to use Indian “servants” instead.
Aaaahh, those were the days :)

England has always looked to the sea, and that's why Charles De Gaulle said we had more in common with Australia than France

Got to correct this as it confuses England and Britain-
England does NOT equal Britain. They are not the same thing.
Britain is the island that contains 3 nations.
England is one of those nations.
England is not an island, its part of an island.
The UK is Britain plus a 4th nation on the island of Ireland called Northern Ireland. These 4 nations are united to form one country we call the UK.
Confusing these terms is like calling the USA California or calling Asia China.
Hate it when people refer to Britian as England
it is a little confusing for foreigners but it's not that hard to understand. England is a country, Great Britain is just the name of the island England is part off.
@@jamesoakley4570 it was Britian who created the empire not England. That's all you need to know
@@jamesoakley4570 technically it is the island but when people say british or britian they mean the United kingdom same as when people say America they mean the U.S
@@jamesoakley4570 yeah thats why i wanted to comment with the correction. This mistake is made a lot.
Can we get a episode on how artillery works?
Impressive
Super serum tea. It's something the government wouldn't want you to know about

If the fish are shooting each other it must be in the USA
@@paddington1670 your cops carry sticks 🤣
@@michaelhall7546 nope they carry taser guns pepper spray and of its reported someone has any sort of weapon we have lots of gun squads they are just normal police with guns. Thing is we don't need guns as often because it's not often someone else has a gun or even a knife big enough that a taser won't work

One of my favorite lines from Hamilton: “Why should a tiny island across the sea regulate the price of tea?”
false framing.
prices are set by market forces, and a certain concentration or geography may have outsized weight and say over it.
or they're set by coercive power / monopoly, again, which isn't necessarily distributed evenly by geography or land size.
@@gwho bro, it’s just a quote 😂😂
@@Benni777 Yes and of course it was the extortionate tax rates the UK was charging (to fund the conflicts with the French and Spanish). Turns out it was an error of judgement in hindsight...... I am a proud Brit and have been to the Battle of Bunker Hill monument in Boston.
And that, friends, is why we spread our sports so effectively

Interesting how no one ever mentions who SOLD African humans to European humans. If a "commodity" isn't for sale, it is never purchased. Think about it.
I don’t think it was mentioned because it’s not really relevant to the topic. The video is about how England conquered so much of the world and it was partly because they had access to humans that they could quite literally work to death. The act of buying enslaved people alone didn’t build England. It was how hard they worked them to gain maximum profits
Interesting how no one ever mentions the "freedom-seekers" who denied their slaves marriage by choice but bred them believing their children were therefore a profit against the losses inflicted from working the parents to death. Pray about it.
@@janabana7301 i think its more the fact that he said Europeans invaded parts of Africa for slaves when in fact by the time the invasions he was talking about happened Europeans had fully abolished slavery 30 to 50 years before
Let's be honest, there "were" Psychopaths on the loose. And that was profitable that's why they're great.

You missed out Nepal. No country ever invaded Nepal, whatsoever.
Nepal was defeated in anglo Nepalese war but not conquered
