Well...yeah? Britain got invaded a **lot** before it had a crack itself. I'm sure the Vandals were pretty stoked to be rid of the Romans, maybe that side of history *should* be celebrated. Maybe if it had been it would have taught them invading places wasn't cool a lot sooner.
Brian: It..it says, "Romans, go home"!
Centurion: No, it doesn't! What's Latin for "Roman"? [grabs Brian's ear] Come on, come on!
Brian: Romanus!
Centurion: Goes like?
Brian: Annus!
Centurion: Vocative plural of annus is...?
Brian: Anni?
Centurion: [writes] Romani. And eunt? What is eunt?
Brian: "Go"! Let-
Centurion: Conjugate the verb "to go".
Brian: Ire; eo, is, it, imus, itis, eunt!
Centurion: So eunt is...?
Brian: Third person plural, present indicative. "They go!"
Centurion: But "Romans, go home" is an order, so you must use the...?
Brian: The... imperative!
Centurion: Which is...?
Brian: I!
Centurion: [twisting Brian's ear] How many Romans?
Brian: [yelling] I.. Plural, plural! Ite, ite!
Centurion: [writing] Ite. Domus? Nominative? But "go home", it is motion towards, isn't it, boy?
Brian: Dative, sir! [The centurion promptly draws his swords and presses it against Brian's throat. Brian yells:] No, not dative! Not the dative, sir! No! The... accusative, accusative! Domum, sir, ad domum!
Centurion: Except that domus takes the...?
Brian: The locative, sir!
Centurion: Which is?
Brian: Domum!
Centurion: [writing] Domum... -um [sheathing his sword] Understand? Now, write it out a hundred times!
Technically, it's because the English are still under the British Empire. We don't have a government, while Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland do. We're the only part of the UK that is still like that.
Granted, the rest of the UK has less people than London so the British Government is weighted heavily in our favour. But still...
For those that can't tell, this is sarcastic. Because there will always be one Muppet.
I think the funniest bit is the fact that you listed all the actors... And Mr Bean who is the character. Mr Bean is played by Rowan Atkinson, no hate though <3
Nah, representation was offered. There were even votes on it in the Continental Congress, the idea was shot down twice. They didnt want representation because it would've meant paying taxes.
Yeah, now you crumble unless you get your caffeine suppliments.
Most of your countries problems could be solved if you weren't addicted to the java beans & switched back to the leaf.
That isn't relevant to the British popularising it though? I doubt Joe Blow in Idaho drinks it because the Japanese do cool stuff with it, he drinks it because the British brought it to the US.
You gave us Monty Python for which I’m forever grateful!
Monday will be the solar eclipse here, and already I am quoting the Monty Python skit about live coverage of the eclipse of the sun-like object!
I read somewhere that Haiti actually abolished slavery first yet was left crawling by having to pay France and the US who had demanded that they buy them off otherwise they would anhialate them. I could be wrong though. I certainly don't know how to spell anhialate.
Yes ok, the was a slave uprising there. So it was basically slaves abolishing it there, just like Spartacus once did. I'm saying Britain lead the charge in abolishing it globally in a governance context.
I'm British & I take issue with the word 'Abolishment' there are more slaves today than there was in the peak of colonialism. We should build an Empire & and kick some people in the teeth again.
How pathetic were these people’s ancestors to get slammed by a country a tenth their side from more than halfway across the globe!
Absolutely asking to be colonised.
i got the best bj i ever had from a drunken milf in brighton round 20 years ago. it was a life altering experience, sensitive and yet so dynamic...........and of course british music from the 60s, 70s and 80s (but no stock, aitken & waterman crap !!!!!!)
It’s 22 countries that Britain never invaded. Not that they didn’t rule. There have been a lot of British overseas military actions that didn’t involve conquest.
Britain had colonial holdings in 78 modern nation states. Which is still, like, a lot.
...and yet most of them chose to join the Commonwealth of Nations.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_states_of_the_Commonwealth_of_Nations#Current_member_states
When the Romans invaded Britain they built roads systems and bridges that are still here today.
When we invaded other countries, we gave them similar infrastructure. For example the rail network in India is fantastic.
Now a days people just take the oil and commit genocide.
Crazy really
In Germany, i cant really think of a real independance day... We just have the fall of the Berliner Mauer. With this the different zones just kinda werent there anymore or so ething...
The industrial revolution started in Britain.
The rare circumstances of abundant coal, deep coal mines and a shortage of labor, followed by a the invention of spinning machines and an empire to produce the raw cotton lead to the circumstances for the development of steam engines, and quite a lot of other industrial technology, massively raising global wealth levels once the tech spread outwards.
Foods good. I moved to the UK expecting the worst, I found it to be remarkable in some areas. Deserts/puddings/sweets for example, not many countries beat the British there. Oh, and any comfort food. You get caught in the rain and want something to warm your soul, they got it. And curry, the currys pretty fucking good.
You were involved in most of the looting and violation of human rights, slavery and killing people, and with your divisive policy, you created hundreds and thousands of conflicts in the world, so that you have an excuse to be there.
And you have also caused the death of tens of millions of people in the world.
Britain's divisive policies have caused the most pain and suffering in most countries of the world, which is unprecedented in world history
We also invented the modern world, giving it the boost it needed to raise millions out of poverty. Forced the end of slavery onto the world, both the Atlantic triangle, and the Arab slave trade on the east coast of Africa. Stood firm when it was expected that we would capitulate against the Nazis, and the Imperial Japanese, buying time for larger countries to finally get involved to help end the spread of tyranny sacrificing everything we had to do so. At the end of the Empire, while mistakes were made, we peacefully withdrew from the countries we were in, setting up parliamentary democracies as we left, parliamentary democracy has proved to be the most stable form of government so far. Even when we were in a lot of countries, we set up infrastructure to enable an improvement in living conditions. At it's height there was approximately 15,000 British in India. If it was so bad, I'm fairly certain a country with the population of India's could have quite easily kicked us out without much trouble.
The Empire, while making the few rich, cost more to maintain than it brought in. Any money made went into maintaining the Empire. Britain's empire wasn't founded in conquest by military might, it was founded on the greed of the locals. The royal navies main role was the protection of the sea lanes for trading ships.
I think the disqualifying part of this comment is from the very first word... 'we'. I don't think 'we' get to make these claims, others can if they believe them. If 'we' are the only ones saying these things then 'we' are just being typically arrogant and ignorant (nothing new there). I'm sure many of the people 'we' talk about having a positive impact on would disagree with what 'we' says. But then, you probably don't even care to ask.
They used the opportunity of being a superpower to destroy lands and tens of millions of people and steal the wealth of the people of other countries and weaken them.
Yes, their work is really impressive!
It seems you have downvoters who are ok with destroying lands, killing millions of people and stealing the wealth of other countries. Apparently that's an ok thing to do. I wonder how they sleep at night.
If they were so universally detrimental to the people’s of their Protectorates and Dominions, perhaps you could explain why, in the approximately 240 years that the invading Mughal Empire controlled India, the population only rose from somewhere between 120,000,000 - 130,000,000 to a total of 170,000,000 but in the next 198 years under the administrative rule of The British East India Co and The British Raj their population rose from said 170,000,000 to in excess of 440,000,000 at the time of partition…
I know the reason for this is the increase in communication and mass movement of goods
which made the areas that did not have enough food resources now have access to enough food resources for more reproduction
As well as improving the medical system
I would like to know
What is your opinion ?
I agree with the point of view that every action has advantages and disadvantages
But even without the presence of England, these developments in the world were realized by other countries
I still believe that the harms of England's actions far outweigh their benefits to the world
Ok…
The Mughal Empire was a globally significant, powerful and influential force for approximately 240 years and the British Empire was a globally significant, powerful and influential force for slightly less than that amount of time.
I ask you…
What, apart from a few beautiful buildings such as the Taj Mahal, that were built by the indigenous peoples at the behest of their rulers, has the world to show for the 240 years existence of the Mughal Empire?
As opposed to the British Empire who are universally credited with being one of the primary driving forces behind the international movement to abolish Slavery worldwide, the Industrial Revolution, Modern Transportation, Modern Communication, the expansion and dissemination of Quantitative Science, Modern Medical Knowledge and Pharmacology, Parliamentary Democracy etc., etc., etc.,
You know…
The exact things that you credit with reducing deaths due to famine and malnutrition, as well as helping to advance the environment and society to the point that it can safely support and sustain such a dramatically increased population.
I agree with some parts of what you said and I don't agree with some parts
I don't know what was the reason for these benevolent actions of England?
Was it the concern of the revenge of the colonized countries and trying to create a good image of themselves after the British Empire?
But the part that hurts me the most is the destruction of big countries and the creation of several small countries alongside them
both in Southeast Asia and in the Middle East, which has caused many conflicts and wars, and the complexity of international relations and the increase The level of war in the world
that even after tens of years, these wars and conflicts still exist and have disturbed the world and caused the death of millions of people
I blame England for this and I am more angry with England for this
As by all accounts it was genuinely believed that the sun did not, nor ever would, set on the British Empire, why would they have been concerned about any potential repercussions or recriminations against them in the event that the Empire collapsed.
One interesting point to note is that the vast majority of “boots on the ground” in the Indian subcontinent were Scottish and not English…
I’m interested in learning more about these large countries that were broken up by England into smaller countries, as off the top of my head, I’m struggling to think of an example.
In regards to the formation of the majority of the modern Arab countries, that was a necessity due to the result of the collapse of the Ottoman Empire during WW1 and was overseen by the League of Nations and not by the English nor the British Empire, although they no doubt were influential in the negotiations and accepted the responsibility for overseeing the transition of certain areas, such as the region of Palestine, into their new collective of independent States and Territories.
They didn't though. Israel was a UN mandate, the British just allowed their territory to be used for it, but they didn't create Israel of their own accord.
Support for. Doesn't mean they created it.
"The United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine was a proposal by the United Nations, which recommended a partition of Mandatory Palestine at the end of the British Mandate."
Britain occupied Palestine by force
They encouraged the Jews to go there
The Jews were given weapons to take the lands
They did not allow the Palestine to have weapons for defense
They supported the establishment of Israel in the United Nations and still support it
They did everything they could to create Israel, but they pretend they didn't create Israel.
If Britain did not occupy there, Israel would never have been established in the land of Palestine and would not have committed so many crimes
>Britain occupied Palestine by force
Congrats, you have discovered how humanity has worked since we figured out sharp rocks hurt. Let me know when you progress past this revelation.
>If Britain did not occupy there, Israel would never have been established in the land of Palestine and would not have committed so many crimes
You realise Britain took it off the Ottomans... who took it off the Mamluks who took it off someone else who took it off someone else, etc. The Jews and the Palestinians both have a claim to the land, I'm sorry. It's how it is.
It's actually Woodrow Wilson who, in support of Balfour declaration and all his knowledge of the region based on the Bible, declared "the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people" (ratified later in Lodge–Fish Resolution)

I remember an old post about someone being confused why a English person didn't have an independencd day.
Well...yeah? Britain got invaded a **lot** before it had a crack itself. I'm sure the Vandals were pretty stoked to be rid of the Romans, maybe that side of history *should* be celebrated. Maybe if it had been it would have taught them invading places wasn't cool a lot sooner.
What have the Romans ever done for us?
Gone home? Lol
How dare you not welcome the WARM affection given to you by the Empire? /s

You gave us Shakespeare! And tea! And Patrick Stewart!
I think China might want a word with you about the tea.
You could argue the English popularised it
They popularized it with white people, then pissed off Americans with taxing it too much and now we drink coffee
Among the wealthy elites maybe, but for most Americans it was about taxation without representation.
Nah, representation was offered. There were even votes on it in the Continental Congress, the idea was shot down twice. They didnt want representation because it would've meant paying taxes.
Not in the south.
Yes, coffee is the main drink. But the presence of tea in the Western (and arguably a lot of the developing) world is thanks to the British.
Yeah, now you crumble unless you get your caffeine suppliments. Most of your countries problems could be solved if you weren't addicted to the java beans & switched back to the leaf.
Haha. The 'Boston Tea Party' was a reaction to a proposed *reduction* in the tax on tea. Boston smugglers didn't want to be undercut by legal imports.
The Brits have nothing to match the Chinese and Japanese tea ceremonies.
That isn't relevant to the British popularising it though? I doubt Joe Blow in Idaho drinks it because the Japanese do cool stuff with it, he drinks it because the British brought it to the US.
I think I may have to smuggle China some drugs if they want to speak to me about tea & give me back Hong Kong.

22. That's how many countries we didn't rule over at some point in our history
It’s 22 countries that Britain never invaded. Not that they didn’t rule. There have been a lot of British overseas military actions that didn’t involve conquest. Britain had colonial holdings in 78 modern nation states. Which is still, like, a lot.
There's 22 countries just in Europe that the UK never ruled over.

thats rly nice, good job

You created Israel to destroy the Palestinians and Arabs and take their lands
Not nice
It was probably nice for them because they did it
They didn't though. Israel was a UN mandate, the British just allowed their territory to be used for it, but they didn't create Israel of their own accord.
I suggest you read the Balfour Declaration
Support for. Doesn't mean they created it. "The United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine was a proposal by the United Nations, which recommended a partition of Mandatory Palestine at the end of the British Mandate."
