It was a very inclusive Empire. Everyone was welcome.
Whether they wanted to be or not.
The world needed it’s arse kicking and we were the ones to do it
Don't forget invasion didn't start in the UK....know your history.
Diverse and Inclusive.
@@fuzzlewit9 That was really beside the point. They massively increased the amount of wealth and education those populations received. They built roads, railways, schools, houses and created jobs for the poorest portion of the population. Britain did a lot of good in these countries. The effects of poverty we see today largely came about after these nations had been granted independence. They simply didn't have the experience or administrative structure in place to run their own countries.
A lot of the country’s wealth was actually spent on abolishing slavery all over the world, a proud part of our history which is never spoken of
Absolutely splendid, Rome would have been proud of one of its provences!
Make the world England, pax britanica, im proud of our glorious history, at least we had some balls back in those days.
Invaded in some cases in a misnomer, in France for example the king of England had a legitimate claim to the French crown, through marriage & blood lineage.
The ordinary English never got any benifit from a huge empire, it all went to the rich & the crown, the poor lived in abject poverty.
All of Roman provinces.. Britannia (Britain), Gaul (France),Hispania(Spain & Portugal), Italia (Italy), Greece, Anatolia (turkey) , Levant (Middle East) all heavily contributed and influence the world as we know today
@@raidang yes they did make significant contributions to the modern world we live in. Ive visted & lived in different European countries, we are really like a family, cousins, because of a shared history.
Sikhs were originally fighting the British until they were eventually defeated. But the British recognized the bravery and spirit of their opponents and they became a key part of the British Indian army and were employed all over the empire. Over the years I have met many former Sikh military Engineers and soldiers from Kenya and Uganda running successful businesses in Britain.
There have been exemptions in British laws to accommodate Sikh practices since Victorian times. Queen Victoria had Sikh servants.
The British Empire was not founded on outright conquest but usually by trade. But if trade was threatened then the Royal Navy and the army were available.
The British would improve where possible and outlaw practices such as burning the wife on the funeral pyre when her husband died.
It wasn't always good and fair in practice but on the whole everybody benefited to some degree but not always.
It is interesting to see how former colonies have turned out since the British left.
It's between 60 and 75 years approximately since independence for most of them and what have they done with it?
Would they have preferred to be under the French, Spanish, Dutch or Germans who had a very different approach.
what they have done with it is what you left it with! Brits never just left the nations as they were, they made sure to exploit the differences of people to divide and rule them. From Africa to India, you didn't just leave, you divided the countries to make sure peace never comes to these nations. Now every nation is busy fighting the other and your nation sells weapon to both the sides so your economy could keep running. YOU ARE NOT FOOLING ANYBODY ANYLONGER!!
@@HARRY-xz1hf The British left most countries better infrastructure, legal systems, trading links than we found we found them with. The reasons for dividing countries like India up is because of the previously suppressed tribal rivalries, hatreds and intolerances between the inhabitants that had been controlled by the British presence flared up again when they left and demonstrated how suitable each place was for being left alone.
70-80 years afterwards you can't blame the British for the state that some places have allowed themselves to remain in by their own efforts. Some places are now world class economies and examples of their own efforts and enterprise whilst others had attitudes like yours and have reaped what they sowed. Amazing to see some places re-establish slavery after Britain banned it in the early 1800s.
Not long to being a hundred years after independence now and it's nothing to do with Britain, it's all down to your own individual efforts or lack of them.
The old excuses won't wash any more.
@@davidmarsden9800 That's all bullshit. British copied our traditional education systems and banned our education systems, economic systems, industrialization and deindustrialized us, infrastructure, legal systems which were used in Maratha Empire.
tribal rivalries bullshit were all funded by british engineering themselves reasons to divide India and Indians. India never had slavery foreigners brought it with them. it is against the concept of dharma and is evil. most of the people were vegeteriens but your barberious terrorist evil empire corrupted everthing incluing our varna economic system was convert into fixed birth based caste system. so that christian missionaries can convert and brainwash us aginst our culture. we were brainwashed that we were primitive but the reality is British barberiens stole our civilizational knowledge and legal systems, law and order, etc. replicated it in their country then banned and distroyed ours. british evil terrorists genocide massacered innocent native people all over the world.
Would prefer the British to the French, Dutch or Germans but would prefer French, Dutch or Germans to Ottomans or Soviets.
YEs but would you be grateful if some asshole beat you up and took your house and community from you? You would angry would you not? Also that infrastructure was useless for transport and the resources that connected to that infrastructure was depleted greatly.
As an Australian, I am grateful they colonised Australia. I am proud of my British ancestry. I think you are putting your bias on this. Britain only finished paying the cost of ending the slave trade a FEW years ago! Your world knowledge is lacking because there were other empires across the world in history, not just British.
Brits got invaded so much, they learnt from it and said "hold my beer i wanna give this a try" xD
Another A+ reaction,Basically if the country you lived in was near or next to water you got a visit 😉
True!!
Happy that the Brits signed the UN charter of not conquring the lands of others back in 1947 otherwise it could have got awkward ❤🤍💙
I think it was a pub crawl that got out of hand.
Nah, it was the miserable weather and the quest for nice holiday spots 😊
@@tomnicholson2115 nah
Bloody hilarious.
Britain was almost bankrupt after the first and Second World War. Hitler loved Britain and imagined sharing the world with Britain, as long as they stayed out of the war. Knowing the cost, they still said no to hitler, and the rest is history.
Britain decided to support the USSR which was stuffing people into gulags.😁👍
@@mudra5114 Hi, in what way? I’m interested in learning. From my understanding, the USSR joined the allies when Hitler broke his pact with them when he attacked them. Irrespective of Stalin’s cruelty to his own people, it is undeniable that the USSR sacrificed more soldiers than any other allied countries. Stalin intentionally sacrificed them and his people. The people were starving, should the people of the U.K. not send food because they didn’t approve of Stalin?
@@lox5962 Not food but loads of weapons. Churchill sent some of the best British tanks to Stalin. USA gave loads of trucks via landlease. Nobody in Eastern Europe wanted the red army there, none of them looked at the red army as liberators.
As a British citizen its very interesting to get the views of modern day indian citizens.
I realise that we were not universally liked, but there was i believe a strong bond between many brits and india, we borrowed culinary likes from you, words from your dialects also.
Many brits were born in india during that period, and held a lifelong love of your country.
I'm glad that we left behind some good aspects also, i believe the indian army is structured along British lines, and thankfully our two nations remain on friendly terms.
We benefitted from English rule just as Britain benefitted from Roman rule.
The only difference being, the English didn't want the Romans to leave! 😂
@@bobsilentjay7169 the english arrived after the romans left, you're thinking of the native britons/celtics
@@LokilMachinima Arrive? Don't think so. They were just the people who were here and England came about around them. Kinda like US Californians. Mexicans one day, Americans the next when the border got moved.
@Lokil Machinima No cause the roman didn't conquer Scotland so we are still Celts
@@bobblue_west Like the Anglo Saxons arrived
Gutted we only had 60%…. I had hoped it was closer to 90%
The other 40% probably had nothing there!!
I believe our ancestors went by the saying 'Do onto others before they do onto you' .. and they did !.. Not forgetting these islands were invaded and occupied in the past. C'est La Vie , as they say..
Lots of people seem to mix up the wars and military battles that Britain fought which were very numerous with the protection of trade links which were under threat from other countries during the colonial era .
Never forget the words of the most honorable Mahatma Gandhi when we was asked "What do you think of Western Civilization?' And he replied, 'That would be a very good idea." The wicked irony of a wonderful leader, indeed. Thank you so much, my friends!!! This is the most perfect teaching tool!!! I am going to ask your permission, humbly, to show this video to my students. It is a great educational tool. Ireland is my native country, and we were invaded by the English many many times. We were also invaded by the Vikings and the Normans. We were a poor country, so why did they spend so much money time and effort into making us behave properly. Didn't work. Never does. This term in my class we are reading E.M. Forster's "A Passage To India." This is a key work of literature written by one the conquerors. We still need to have an equally esteemed Indigenous version of this historical period. V.S. Naipaul made waves of anti colonial stories about the Indian ex-pats sent in servitude to the Caribbean, Africa, South America, etc. The facts shown here must be understood by all educated people. I pray that the United States adopts a rigorous curriculum based in European and Colonial History.
You should really look further into these, so-called 'facts'. A lot of these invasions were started as successful trading with some countries in which the countries wanted the successful systems set up by the British. Troops were sent to protect businesses and taxes. Earlier wars were mainly between royal relatives trying to out-do each other. Some wars were to protect smaller countries too.
Britain is not rich poor people existed throughout history and continues today in these islands.
Britain was technologically more advanced and had the Royal Navy to ensure that the Empire existed across the globe.
Britain shared her technology,language,democracy and laws with the rest of the world and after abolishing slavery fighting two world wars for freedom she was almost broke she put more into the countries than she ever took out.
your Brits forced famines on India which resulted in killings of 4 million people in just a matter of months which was as recent as 1943. When Brits came to India in 1700's India accounted for 27% of the world's GDP and by the time it left, the score reduced to just below 3% leaving more than 90% Indians below the poverty line to suffer.
@@HARRY-xz1hf get a grip,. Every country has done some horrible things even your country
@@HARRY-xz1hf you think the brits had the power to create a famine haha and your numbers are so funny 27% hahahahaha how could you possibly know
@@nathansellars3757 the British stockpiled grains in large quantities as a backup food for the British troops. The food which should've rightfully gone to the hungry Indians was kept as reserve just in case the second world war extends. If I take all your food and reserve it for myself just in case I become jobless tomorrow and need food to live, it'd be one of the worst crimes humanity has ever witnessed. Your BRITS did that.
Britain had the second highest per capita income in the World back in 1600 AD, after the Netherlands. Most populations on Earth were poor before the Industrial Revolution.
Great video to react to!
Also I really like the fact that you can see the positives of Britain and not just the negatives, your open mindedness and you willingness’s to learn made this reaction even better!
Another couple videos I’m sure you’ll enjoy and find interesting are ‘How did the British Empire rule the world?’ by Knowledgia & ‘What is The difference between Great Britain, Uk and England explained?’ By cgpGrey
Thanks for your comment!!
Keep supporting us !!😇😇
It's rubbish, it is historically inaccurate
The crusade against slavery.
But positives with that kind of cost are worthless. Even so-called positives were not for improving people's lives genuinely but for taking the most from the country.
An informed reaction. Yes, colonialism is not at all a good concept in this day and age but, you also stated that there were some ongoing benefits to those nations. We can't turn the clock back.
Cricket. :)
@@lilacfloyd democracy, rule of law, infrastructure that isn’t from a thousand years ago etc
I think our national anthem should be changed to 'I Get Around' by The Beach Boys. 😁
Mate that’s brilliant! I’m dying here haha 😂
They also had territories in Antarctica btw :)
A shocking omission.
look at the countries in the commonwealth and you will see a lot of those countries are still in it and have good relations with us. Most of those "invasions", were recovering countries from German and Japanese occupation during the world wars. Love you two and your vidoes. Keep it up guys.😁😁😁
Some countries that we modernised and introduced technology to have kept growing and have become modern countries like Singapore, but after we handed back power to some of the countries they went back to their old ways and attitudes. India was one of the countries that burst into religious war after being handed back which is why it was split into India and Pakistan. To be honest we didn't do the hand over particularly well and should have made sure that it was going to be stable before we left. Gandhi was a truly magnificent man, but the growing hostility against British rule meant us leaving before the country had sorted out it's political power. The biggest enemy of a nation is government corruption. ✌️❤️🇬🇧
That's why you are free and have justice and a court system.
Country where you can insult the police (Police bashing) and politicians and say what want to a point, not be prosecuted and shot and imprisoned like a lot of countries around the world.
if you look up the 1945 invasion of Vietnam you'll find that it was British officers commanding Indian troops, aided by locals and recently surrendered Japanese.
and basically they fought the same Vietnamese communists as the french and Americans, only Britain and India sent them running into the mountains rather than fight because they were losing so badly.
so depending on your take on war i would say take pride that Indian troops were able to achieve something that France and america are shamed for historically failing to do.
I'm glad we came to India you gave us a curry you might call it gravy but mixed with a pint of beer a match made in heaven.
See ..the british didnt discriminate 😂😂
Very much liked your reaction even through things in the past can happen that weren’t the best there were still benifits
THey left out Algeria, Tunisia, Chile, Somalia, and Columbia also visited by the Brits. It is sad that such a small peaceful country like Britain would have to defend itself from so many agressors
He starts at a very interesting point in history that would completely change the perception of the next 300 years. Very biased and inaccurate. All European wars were coalition's which is why there was no "colonisation" or settlement.
Also the Anglo-Portuguese Treaty of 1373 was signed on 16 June 1373 between King Edward III of England and King Ferdinand and Queen Eleanor of Portugal and is the oldest still active treaty in the world, that puts a little context to Iberian peninsula interests, especially given the Islamic invasion of 711-1492.
The Crusades were called for by the Pope and all of Christendom answered not just England.
The categorisation of "aggressively" is weird since war is rarely friendly.
Many African states were given to France and Britain after WWI as they used to belong to Germany. However he uses the word British when really he means the British Empire, there were thousands of Indian, Pakistani, African, Australian, New Zealand, Canadian etc troop in the world wars, so he's taking great leaps in context.
India was invaded by Portugal first and it was a private company that kicked them out, so we didn't just wonder in and take over until later when it fell directly under the crown. Although we weren't very gentle about dealing with issues... We did however steal tea from China and give it to India to cultivate it when China refused to sell it to us... Just as we stoke cotton from the Americas and got India to cultivate it too...
The first invasion of Afghanistan was to prevent Russian expansionism into India.
Over 1000 years if you don't loose wars you tend to accumulate the spoils of war. It's not that we went colonising, we were Kate to that pursuit, the Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese were centuries ahead of France and England.
You’re inferring a lot from the video which he never states or even implies.
He never suggests that all of these invasions were conducted by Britain alone, indeed he includes the 2001 and 2003 invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq which everyone certainly knows were led by America.
He obviously didn’t go into the full story of each invasion, and there’s a mix of colonisation, conquest, protectorates, invasions as part of larger conflicts such as the Napoleonic Wars, and even simple invasions to force repayment of debts; he never implies that all of these were invasions for conquest.
He never implies that in each case we were the first to invade, obviously most of these countries had been invaded by someone else before the British.
And he never implies that each invasion was conducted by armies comprised of only native Brits.
What is “biased or inaccurate” in the video??
@@phueal Try watching it again...
I've already said what is biased and inaccurate... So maybe reread my post too...
The first invasion of Afghanistan was 1839 not 2003, perhaps you need a quick refresher course too... Or you are willfully misinterpreting or wilfully misrepresenting events just like he is... Unless you missed the "violently invaded" assertions when several African states were given to us after defeating the Germans after WWI, and France got half of those... He is making us look like warmongers and that is by design not by accident...
@@daveofyorkshire301 he’s not making us look like warmongers. He explicitly talks about things like “invading” Iceland peacefully to prevent the Nazis from capturing it and about governing part of Japan without ever invading it. He doesn’t imply that all of these invasions involved bloody wars of conquest initiated by us, he’s simply making a list of the staggering number of countries we’ve aggressively invaded or controlled, and the list is fair and accurate.
And now you’re inferring things in my message which aren’t there - I didn’t ever suggest that 2003 (or indeed 2001) was our first invasion of Afghanistan.
I’ll grant you that in many cases he includes countries which we simply controlled without an invasion (like those former German colonies, or indeed part of Japan after WW2), but I think that’s reasonable since in those cases we weren’t controlling them at the invitation of the local population, we were imposing ourselves on them.
@@phueal I've said my piece and I'm not being goaded into a pointless debate, I'll just end up repeating myself. You don't like it fine, it's your opinion, it's not mine.
Not bad for a tiny little island that's no bigger than the American state of Idaho ✌️
We punch above our weight class ;)
How the hell is colonisation and subjugation 'not bad'?
Imperialist supremacism.
The British destroyed so much of the Indian subcontinent, not to mention how destructive they were in China...please research it yourselves because I can assure you it isn't taught in schools, and it might just give you pause to think.
Anything with a coastline was vulnerable. They were also the 1st country to industrialise which gave them a good boost. There are loads of great books on the Empire
I think it's disingenuous to say that England invaded France because it was French aristocratic and Noble families that conquered England and also 5 English kings are buried in Paris, what defined an English king at that time was there lack of Englishness.
Is it 🤔
First time watching one of your videos, loved it definitely going to watch more of your material🇬🇧
Welcome aboard!
I'd recommend you react to Thomas Sowell (black American scholar) on this subject. His interviews can be found on CZcams.
All stems from having the world's biggest and greatest navy for almost 800 years.
Only since Dutch king Billy.
Yeah, definitely not 800 years… Maybe 400 at a push, but only about 200 of that would be uncontested.
Hi, wonderful reaction and fair by you both, for a little more context this might be of interest, there is also another video about the abolition of slavery in the 1800's which you might find interesting if a little shocking, I'll let you decide about that though, this is how Britain came to be :)
czcams.com/video/VcnSsEVsrf0/video.html
Im from england we are educated on all the country's that invaded us roman empire the vikings we have a long history of war .
You have to remember that England was invaded in 1066 by William the conqueror (a French guy!) and he never left, so saying the British invaded France was not accurate it was a greedy French guy who wanted more more MORE, invading from England! Besides that, British didn't even exist till the 17th century. Calling everywhere the British went an invasion is hardly fair either.
He was a Norman they came from the scandanavian countries like the vikings the french couldnt invade the toilets.
Julius Caesar came,saw,and conquered
We saw,we liked,we took
That's just what people did hundreds of years ago
It was nothing personal it was business
👍
Took awhile but the Romans did eventually leave, the same cannot be said for William the conqueror, his descendants are still here passing their wealth on to each other from generation to generation! Many look at the British and see only the bad stuff but remember that we ourselves are still a conquered people, so the British empire was not exactly a British invention! We had Roman, French, Viking, Dutch and even German teachers.
Just subscribed 👍
7:50 Your look into the camera was so knowing and funny, when the narrator said "lets go to Africa which the British have invaded a lot...."
Great reaction
Thanks for your comment!!
Brittain's dominance and rule has been prophesied looooong ago in the book of Genesis in the bible
How a spec on the map turned it's self into the greatest empire that will ever be known. Insane. He starts this with Britian but the title is England so he didn't show all the invasions of Wales and Scottland
I would say we brits did and still do act on our beliefs I would also say we have proven a big army is not needed it's a trained good maintained well army that will always win
When people look at this time in history they think that Europe was so evil, but the truth is any nation would have done the same if they had the same level of technology. If you look at Europe its a very densely populated continent, if you have lots of small kingdoms right next to each other the rivalry and competition will lead to seriously fast technological advancement. Ontop of this, most of the big European nations have easy access to the sea so the conditions were perfect for the colonial empires to emerge. We're all human and therefore the same potential.
I’ve got the British Army world tour T shirt.
England invaded Wales, Ireland ,Scotland, France and parts of the Middle East during the crusades, the others were invaded once Great Britain was created.
we go on holiday and just get carried away :) lol
Good I dont recall any european nations fighting to get into indian or pakistan who according to figures show 400 million asians want to be british so hard luck.
Almost Every country in the world has invaded other countries we Brits just did it on an industrial scale . Sadly this is often forgotten and it makes GB look bad .
by the late 19th century the amount of British tax payers money expended on maintaining the British Empire there was an increate apathy towards the Empire in the eyes of the British public eventually forced the Government in giving back the countries that where invaded.
We aren't very rich, most of us, not so. When you look at the British Empire, most of the work was done by Scots, Irish and Welsh boys, much grit, little pay.
The invasions and colinizations aren't really the factor behind British wealth, and when we say British wealth we have to define what we mean by that. Do we mean their gdp back in the 1700's, in the medieval age or their current affluence? The by far largest contribution to British economy was the industrialization, born in England, which saw massive technological innovation in practically all fields which enabled superior methods of production and commerce as well as the profits from various indigenous industries like mining and agriculture. Certainly British colonies added sources of income, but not really from being colonies in themselves but rather from the activities of the East Indian Trading Company one of the first global companies who established trade posts and holdings all over the world. I recently read an article which said that recent research has shown that Medieval England was economically far better off than most other kingdoms of their time in terms of living standards for common people. So a pragmatic and bold approach to economy has seemingly been a trait in Britain for a very long time.
England isn't rich because of invasions. Most invasions have been done because of back n forth wars. England too has been invaded countless times. People forget how many wars England has had, which is also a major reason for a lot of the invasions. England have never been a country like Germany, who invaded just for the sake of it. Alot of countries who were conquered as part of the empire, was also a lot better when they was conquered, than when they gained their independence.
The British Empire are obviously the greatest the world has ever known.
the most exploitative, yes. The Brits looted the countries and when forced to leave, they made sure to leave it in ruins so people would keep fighting long after the Brits leave which would portray the image of Brits as peacekeeper to the world.
@@HARRY-xz1hf sort of like your country did on a littler scale

go cry me a river now🤣🤣🤣you clown🤡
Nah that goes to Rome
@@HARRY-xz1hf cry harder dmb bch🤣🤣🤣🖕
the British Empire helped a lot of countries establishing infrastructure and create wealth, most invasions were to establish trade rather than trying to conquer people due to racism etc, but on the other hand it also caused many problems and deaths. India for example was very divided and was promised independence if it could unite all the people and form a government.. but to get to that point many people died in wars famine and from unintended consequences. out of all the colonial powers the British were the "kindest" to their conquered people especially when compared to France and Especially Spain.... Spain massacred entire countries.. and ended the Aztec civilization. the British empire makes me Proud but also Sad at the same time. progress was rapid but sometimes resulted in many deaths
Idk the natives in North America would beg to differ
Remember the British themselves were invaded again and again and again,
so the British had to fight back so they build an army and navy,
That's not why the British were rich. The British were rich and that's why they could do it. They sank an enormous amount of their wealth into building the Royal Navy and that allowed them global hegemony for centuries. On their Island nobody could touch them because they had an iron grip on the Atlantic. A lot of the colonies and territories they occupied took more from them to upkeep than they got out of them, along with the debts they had to pay to buy and free slaves that they only recently paid off, which is why the British Empire had to let a lot of their colonies and territories go.
This forgets to mention that the English were mainly Anglo Saxons ie French even castles in Northern Ireland were built by DeCoursey an Anglo Saxon 1000 years ago. Saxony is European
Saxons are a germanic tribe from Germany ie not French
He forgot the Falklands,a very important island
Yep ! We Civilised Most of the World , we want reperations now for all our efforts .
Us Brits left our mark everywhere. Like a dog cleaning it's bum on a nice new carpet.
It all started because of a pub crawl 😅
😭😭 Sirf ye dhekna Baki hai
I agree with your comments and the previous comment, right or wrong on the invasions, after the british empire has finished and britain has left, or given back, i would say, these countries were in a better place, look at some of the biggest countries in the world that britain colonised, who are now power houses in the world, american, canada, austrailia, the asian countries, indian and so on, especially asian countries who trade very well with the west, and brought the english language, to your countries, where english is the most spoken lanuage in the world, helping trade, and better lives, still a long way to go, but i like how you saw the positives through your generations, great channel guys
Thanks for your comment !!
It encourages us a lot. Keep supporting!!
Australia, America, Canada is where the original inhabitants were wiped out and only settlers and their slaves were left.
haha austriala america and canadas entire native population was wiped out by replacing them with whites
Atleast have some shame u dirty pig eater
Did Hongkong want to go back to China
If all of the land the British ruled over and was taken and put on the moon it would cover around 95% of the moons surface.

Thank you so much!!
He missed a few countries. We invaded Morocco, Algeria & Tunisia in 1942, Tibet in 1905.
And Malta as well!
In India what ever they made just for their benefits and thing which they needed for loot.....
Everyone will only focus on condemning the English but what no one asks is, what lessons can we learn from them? Think about it, millions of people living in a relatively small nation, setting aside petty quarrels and uniting under one flag, scientific ingenuity that enable economies of scale in transport, production and communications, systems of laws and governance, military tactics, so much brilliance the rest of the world could learn from if we could just stop condemning and try to learn.
I don't think it follows to say they are rich because they had an empire. There are rich countries which never had empires.
Brittish; we invaded more countries than anyone else.
Scandinavia: we invanded the Brittish Isles
invanded?
Another 'invasion' by your women would be most welcome.
@@lilacfloyd yes, scandinavians invanded and settled parts of Ireland, North Ireland, Scotland and England.
@@bobgraham398 why the quotation marks?
@@bobgraham398 slipped on the keyboard
have you seen the british crusade against slavery
Yes!!
@@royalreactionarybe careful with that video, it presents an incredibly biased portrait of our involvement in slavery. Most of what it says is true, but it leaves a gaping hole in the middle of the story where we were literally the biggest slave traders in the world, profiting from the trade of millions of people. So, sure, slavery existed before the transatlantic slave trade, and slaves were typically not captured directly by the British, and once we’d decided to abolish slavery we did fight a commendable campaign to stamp it out; but in the middle of that the British state actively transported millions of African slaves across the Atlantic, we incentivised the capture of millions of people, elite British families (including the royal family) raked in absolutely vast fortunes on the back of it, and when we did abolish slavery we mostly compensated British slave owners with large amounts of money for their loss of “property”.
We did a good job abolishing it, but before that we were also among the biggest perpetrators of it.
Smart Man
Brits react to being short changed every time they visit a corner shop run by Indians
The only empire to end generally peacefully and was the birthing place for successful democracies including India. Where the British systems have been rejected it’s not gone great (HK, SA, Zim)
It is interesting that they did successfully win the game of real life Risk. They turned the map red. As for America the invasions were in part due to our wanting to fight and be free of another country controlling us. It is part of the reason for the time period surprising that America would gain independence. They burned the white house and capital building. Britain was a former province of the Roman Empire. It almost claimed the old Gallic Empire. The thing it had going for it unlike other nations. If you conquer the Islands then you have no one to fight inside the islands just outside. So you can focus on taking France and other lands. Also, as some people think human history is peaceful as this shows it isn't. Much of the Globe got invaded actually in part due to slavery which it was stamping out world wide. They as like the Romans before them saw themselves as the duty to bring education and end slavery. They very much did that. They even did it better than Rome did.
yes the uk introduce the railway system to india in 1853 from mumbai tothane and is now 4th in the world if we did not get involved do you think you would be where you are now.
The British Empire was built by "middle managers", more than soldiers.
Damn Britain is based
The British were fighting the Dutch farmers (boars)in south Africa.
Oink! Oink!
🙌🙌👍👍❤
😊
they promoting democracy and freedom
Using the term invaded is misleading in most of these references.
Yup, we wuz kangz!
most of Africa was a drain on the Empires economy.
I think we missed a countries out......
If life has taught me anything, it's you do not want to be subjugated by empires.
So, don't just stand around dithering.
Warning - you may turn out to be the empire yourselves.
We were only trying to help !
We like to keep busy
This idea that Britain invaded 90% of the world's countries - which now seems to have become internet "fact" - derives from a book published a few years ago. The author stretched the definition of invaded quite a lot actually. Including incidents where we actually liberated countries from an occupier (and gave them back lol), minor skirmishes and naval incursions, temporary situations where we were invited in by the local government (Malta for example). The real amount invaded in the true sense of the word would be about 50% or so.
Like Iceland and farro isles in the war
Well if you had bothered to watch the video until the end, I think he mentions that it's 60% of all the worlds nations not 90%.. so, can you tell me what you are on about??
@@marksudlow5083 Why so angry Mark? It would seem then that we are in agreement. I was referring to the myth that I have seen all over the internet that we invaded 90% of the worlds countries. Seems like the "correction" of 60% doesn't get the same traction so in this "TikTok" world I am only trying to correct the balance. I suggest by the way that you take a "chill pill" as they used to say - there's more than enough anger in the world.
We weren’t racist everyone got it 😂
Pip Pip!!
Compare British colonies to Spanish, French, or Italian colonies. The British colonies were really trading partners which benefitted both countries.
Please dont talk over the video, your voices are louder and have an echo making it hard to hear what the man was saying. Leave your comnentary to the end
Once upon a time British had ruled whole world.🤔🤔
This is bcz of intellectual powerfull knowledge.🙏
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
This ver, VERY inaccurate. In fact, it is just wrong. 'Invaded' is absolutely incorrect. That is not how it happened. The world was not created of countries at that time either. This man is politicised. You'd also think the rest of the world were angels, and every other empire was not up to anything.
Britain was responsible for the deaths of some 60 -70 million Indians during their invasion and rule there. (Possibly as many as 100 million). Ten times the size of the Jewish holocaust. Yet Indians seem to still like us, speaks volumes about the benevolent nature of Indian people. I am deeply ashamed of my country's imperial past.
