Just to make it a little more potentially confusing. We have a 53 member organisation called the 'Commonwealth of Nations' and we have our own little Olympic-style sporting event "The Commonwealth Games" (where the UK competes as the 4 separate countries) - Antigua and Barbuda, Australia, Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belize, Botswana, Brunei Darussalam, Cameroon, Canada, Cyprus, Dominica, Fiji, Ghana, Grenada, Guyana, India, Jamaica, Kenya, Kiribati, Lesotho, Malawi, Malaysia, Maldives, Malta, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Nauru, New Zealand, Nigeria, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Rwanda, Saint Lucia, Samoa, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Solomon Islands, South Africa, Sri Lanka, St Kitts and Nevis, St Vincent and The Grenadines, Swaziland, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Tuvalu, Uganda, United Kingdom, United Republic of Tanzania, Vanuatu & Zambia.
The current president of Zimbabwe made an application to re-join last year following a ban on the country in 2002 for breaching the Harare Declaration
Having the largest navy in the Age of Sail and being the first nation to have a industrial revolution were big factors in the size and scale of the Empire.
@Cymru am Byth Hat tip to Wales. They're the Brit in British
@@etherealhawk yeah thanks Wales
That Is why Germany never invaded England during WW2. No one could match the British Navy then.
alright......you do know they tried this and failed (operation sealion) first you need air supremacy, which was denied by the RAF. Might have heard about this one.....the Battle of Britain Britain at the time was the foremost power. The Royal Navy at the start of the war could outmatch the 2nd and third navies combined....referee to as the two power standard
alright.....sure looked like they were trying. Only went east into Russia after they failed sealing their inevitable defeat at the hands of winter and the red army
Did she just call England a small continent? Yeah all that explaination and she’s still not getting it I’m afraid 🙄
Bruh the guy speaks fast asf tbf

India never had a war of independence from the UK. I think you may be referring to the Republic of Ireland. India fought wars for the UK prior to independence.
just stfu
@@ryennfilms6429 stfu yaself
The thing with Britain was they had the strongest Navy in the world for literally centuries. In those times that was so important because if you had the most muscle in the oceans then you control ALL the trade routes and therefore all the power. This combined with the sheer number of ships and seafaring men they had (being an island nation) meant they could colonize many far reaching places without worrying about their military being stretched too thin. They were basically vikings but a bit more technologically advanced and more civilized. Just a bit though lol.
Well what else could we do but learn from our invaders :)
Until the US fucked us over after WW2.
@@solatiumz explain how?
@@ryancoackley3660 for the help given to win the war, america decided to try bankrupt Britain
Then America turns into megalomaniac, wants to control everything... but in moderation.
I don’t personally know people that dislike those from other parts of Great Britain. Maybe in jest or for banter they jokingly rib each other

Apaart from the Scots. I genuinely feel they hate the English.
@@rkempo We don't, chief

The reason so few conquered so many in short (and very simplified) was innovation and industrialisation. It is said that 40-50% of all inventions have had their roots in the now UK. This gave the UK vast competitive advantage. The world then caught up and today any such empire would be impossible (and undesirable) as information transfer happens so fast today that competitive advantage can no longer yield so much power.
Translation: The Queen of the UK is the Queen of Canada. Also. It terms of empires The British empire was the least monstrous.
A few places broke free from war. The Republic of Ireland broke free from war too
“The four countries don’t like each other”...??? What utter RUBBISH! Yes, there are elements who feel a rivalry but, generally, the presenter/narrator of this is talking absolute guff!
Maybe for you but for many of us, we hate England.
The four countries don’t hate eachother, everyone hate England. Welsh, Scottish and Northern Ireland have no problem.
crazynegger You clearly haven’t lived in Mid Wales then. Most people I know don’t like most of the English. I don’t like most of you, because most of you are arrogant, ignorant, childish and so on. The government is the worst tho, completely oblivious that the Welsh even exist most of the time.
@@bigsheep2335 you're pretty short minded
@@bigsheep2335 you are clearly just one of the few assholes
Great reaction - but - the video overstates the degree to which most people in the individual countries dislike each other. There are definitely tensions arising from the governmental system and disparities in power as well as historic injustices - but we're also very close in a lot of ways too. Like siblings who don;t always get along and occasionally resent each other.
I agree. It’s more of a friendly rivalry with good natured banter between the countries. (Generally).
@@bodspafc That's what those without a spine like to say. /|\ if there is any hatred in this world that is justified, it's that of the Celtic cultures towards the English outlook, past and to some degree present. Stop kidding yourself. English Jernos still run hit pieces on the Welsh language even thou it doesn't effect England at all.
Nada Barton most of the time it’s good natured banter. But obviously there are some with a chip on their shoulder like yourself.
@@bodspafc Defending ones culture does not equal "Having a chip on your shoulder"
Nada Barton I wasn’t attacking your culture, but yet you called me spineless. Sounds like you have a chip on your shoulder to me.
the empire on which the sun never sets, and you were on the right track with the navy, the french remarked at the time Britain was 50 years in front in terms of techniques and command structure while most servicemen were pressed during times of war many were volunteers and highly drilled British service men would often maintain discipline during naval encounters and keep up the fire. the Empire was built upon the shoulders of our navy, that navy gave us power projection far beyond our tiny island but as with all empires throughout history they always fall, time is the only empire that lasts.
India wasn't a bloody war as such, it was given indepenece in 1947.
Ik. One guy said "ill starve myself if you dont leave" and the british were like "ok fam chill" and left
@@hiddenassassin3233 Also Britian was bankrupt to America fighting 2 world wars.
@@hiddenassassin3233 you've clearly been too influenced by bill wurtz's video. India getting independence was absolutely a violent affair, thousands of freedom fighters died as well as millions of civilians, not to mention that Britain basically enforced the partition of India into India and Pakistan (which would also later be split into Pakistan and Bangladesh) which caused even more deaths and the displacement of millions. Look into historical figures such as Chandra Shekhar Azad, Baghat Singh and Subhas Chandra Bose who led more violent protests against the British. The lives of these freedom fighters are not well-known outside of India because of Brits trying to act like they were so kind as to give India independence after we kindly asked, the same way America does not teach anywhere near as much about Malcolm X as it does Martin Luther King Jr, because it doesn't fit their narrative and they want to keep the oppressed classes docile.
@TheBritishBulldog I'm British by nationality, I went through the UK education system, and quite frankly the scale of the two cannot be compared. The fact of the matter is that the relatively few and isolated acts of violence against British civilians (as compared to the millions of Indian civilians killed by the Brits) simply would not have happened had the British never colonised India in the first place. It was a response, the British were the agitators. You stake claim over land that isn't yours and torture the people it actually belongs to, you have to expect consequences.
@@ActuallyAnanya shit talking the country that gave you nationality,nice
I'm a born and raised Londoner with Irish parents (one from the north, one from the Republic) and this was more informative than most of my history lessons.
The English 🏴 deserve a independence referendum!.
I like your reactions because you take the time to discuss the video afterwards. Too many reactors just want to get through videos and aren't bothered about what they're watching. The whole God thing with the crown is an antiquated tradition/belief, I would imagine the UK is one of the most atheist counties in the world these days, or England is at least.
Yep pretty much... basically no one sincerely believes the queen was chosen by god, we just sorta go along with it as a tradition, a bit like how people celebrate Christmas
The main reason us (The UK) could create our British empire is because we had the first Industrial revolution. While other countries were still working on farms everywhere, we were making factories and industry so we were by far more advanced than any other country at the time.
The size of our empire is the reason we lost places like America. We were at war with France, Spain and the Dutch at the time America was fighting for independence. We also had to have armies all over the world to defend those countries. So literally only a small percentage of the British army fought in the American war of independence, the other 98% of the army was spread across the world and it just wasn’t worth sending more resources there basically
we had an empire long before the industrial revolution you tit
Nathan Sellars I have a degree in history and you CLEARLY know nothing about the empire if you don’t understand the role it had in our Empire so please refrain from going around these videos pretending to educate people. Cheers
@@nathansellars3757 The British empire started to take shape around the end of the Tudors. Weirdly enough the main instigator was an English born Welshman by the name of John Dee. Look him up. He once owned the Voynich manuscript.
@@darrena5384 Maybe you should ask for your money back
Nada Barton Go look at what countries we brought into the empire during and after the industrial revolution 😁
its because we had the first professional army full time so other places had only army gathered up, Great Britain trained and At its height the British empire was the largest in world history. It covered around 25% still to this day it is still the biggest .
@ 01:55. The Isles Of Scilly should have been added to the list of islands.
He said we all don’t like each other but it’s more like none of us like England. Wales Scotland and Northern Ireland are basically brothers
Northan ireland are down with England.
lol we do not think the monarch is appointed by God! That is hilarious considering we are mostly atheist.
Rome didn't fall apart because their territories were unhappy. They became so large that they were unable to defend themselves from neighboring nations. Most of Rome liked being a part of Rome. Most of the Commonwealth likes being in the Commonwealth. While there is a lot of violence in the Middle East, the world is otherwise quite peaceful these days. In other words, no foreign power is going to try to conquer any part of the Commonwealth, and even if they tried, the USA would get involved. End of invasion.
HR Majesty will always be loved. Long live the Queen.
it's HM not HR
Ireland fought a war of independence and over roughly 25 years went from being a full part of the uk to being a British dominion (like Canada or Australia at the time) to becoming a fully independent republic in 1949.
The sun cannot set on the British empire, could of had yourselves a piece of this healthcare but you wanted less tax on tea or somethin' like that.

If you want to know the Rivalry between the Countries watch some 6 Nations Rugby and watch the Passion when the Teams sing their own National Anthems.
Mark 7:28. Hmm. In Gil Gerard's movie and television show-series, "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century", they make it seem like the big nuclear war on Planet Earth, resulted in the return of, city states, such as, "New Chicago", built near the radioactive ruins of old, Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, USA, that eventually in turn form a planetary form of some kind, with the "Earth Defense Directorate", as the military. A, "Computer Council", was in charge. That's what your speculation reminds me of! 🤔
We may have devolution but we only have control over certain things like education and health issues. The UK government still sets aside money for us and we then have to budget from that. The UK government has the most control over laws in general. The internal market bill is one example recently of how easy it is for Westminster to try stick the boot in.
Mark 7:40. Whoa! That older post comment is right! "England", is the kingdom nation, "Europe", is the continent! Yes, both start with an, "E"! 😉
Not just currency. I served 20 years in the Royal Canadian Navy on H.M.C.S CALGARY, H.M.C.S. VANCOUVER and H.M.C.S. VICTORIA. Her Majesty's Canadian Ship/Submarine.
To serve in the Canadian Armed Forces we have to take an oath and pledge allegiance to the Queen. The administration of the military budget such as the pay for soldiers and officers is done through the Queen's Regulation and Orders which are promulgated by the Ministers of Defence and of Treasure. A commissioned officer recieves commission from the Queen. A regiment's/ship's/submarine's commission, name, colours and armories must be approved by the Queen. Although the Canadian Forces recieves their orders from the government, through it's Minister of National Defense and the Defence Chief of Staff, the Commander in Chief of the Canadian Armed Forces is the Governor General of Canada who represents the Queen in Canada and is appointed by the Queen under the recommandation of the government through the Queen's Privy Concil for Canada. Also if a minority federal government in Canada wish to dissolve, in order to have another election and become a majority government, the Prime Minister has to request the permission to the Governor General. For a provincial government the request is presented to the Lieutenant-Government of the province which represent the Governor General in that province. Those requests have been denied a few times in the last few decades and then the government has to manage and govern as a minority government for the rest of the four year term. In the other way Canada as a say in decisions regarding the Crown. For example now Charles is the next in line for the throne although his sister Anne is older that's because a male heir had precedence over a female heir at the time of their birth. But this as been changed recently. Although it changes nothing for the heirs born prior to the change, for heirs born after the change the oldest heir will be next in line no matter their gender. This kind of changes have to be approved by each country of the commonwealth.
Finally in Canada Elisabeth II of Windsor is not recognised as the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great-Britain and Northern Ireland but as the Queen of Canada just like in the Isle of Mann she's recognised as the Queen and Lord of Mann and in the Anglo-Norman Islands of Jersey and Guernesey she's recognised as the Queen and Lord of Jersey and Guernesey and Duke of Normandy.
By the way the Brexit should be called the UKexit since it does include Northern Ireland.😊
A difference between the USA & The U.K or the Crown, is that even thou the many republic’s and Territories may be thousands of miles away and the have different skin tones and language. The British people and Armed forces will protect all those who see the Queen as head of state, wether that be Aid & supplies after a hurricane or with Armed forces to repel invades or uprisings. I write this because of the amount of Aid seen to be given toPuerto Rico by the Orange one after the destruction of the storms that hit them.
Mark 9:08. Huh?! 😳 Hehehe! 😅 "New England", is named for, "England", and is the upper Northeast corner of the USA. Home of the first few states.
Bonus! People from, New England, are called, "New Englanders". But people in, "England", itself, prefer to be called, "English". I think they resent being called, "Englanders", because of the, Germans. At least that is what I get from forums in which some European, probably German, uses the term, "Englander", instead of, "English", or, "Englishman". Then Americans, get called "Yanks", et cetera, whenever we ask what the problem is, because we have, "New Englanders". 🤔
An American explaining Britain to Americans. Lol.
We don't like each other.
Really.
A lot of us are all mixed.
So its nonsense.
I'm English, but my Dad is from Scotland my Nan is from Wales, my Grandad was from Ireland and my Mum was born in England.
So I'm British, and am well proud of my shared heritage.
What is the guy saying in the beginning of each video? He speaks so quickly that I honestly cannot understand what he is saying.
We do we lost lots of place and small doesn't mean weak American
I have lost count how many times I have watched Americans reacting to this particular video, and I think just about every one of them has been misled by the rather facile piece of British humour about the four countries not liking each other delivered in a quick and very serious American accent. He is American and his countrymen seem to believe that it is a true statement of fact!
We Brits no longer believe that the monarch rules by divine right; that went out centuries ago. The present connection between church and crown is purely a traditional and legal one.
exactly, its more tradition than anything else
The monarch is supreme governor of the church of England which is part of the Anglican communion. The crown still gets its right not by the people but by God but you know ... people's opinion counts too and not helping the people is "anti-Christian" so both. The British Monarch is not appointed he is anointed, not by a minister but by a archbishop.
My personal opinion as a Christian is that if everything is done by the hand of God, the crown has divine rights as well as anything else but with more prestige.
same problem overhere in the netherlands. Holland is a part of the Netherlands
Badically this means Canada is a monarchy in a personal union with the UK, along with Australia, New Zealand and many other former colonies.
Thus the highest political authority in these countries are Prime ministers instead of Presidents.
Obviously there are republics with prime ministers too, mostly in Europe, but these are usually countries in europe where the president has a ceremonial role just like the Brittish queen. This is usually due to these countries being former monarchies where they just sort of replaced their ceremonial monarch with a ceremonial president. Either that or it’s a country like germany where they don’t want to centralise power too much due to a history of dictatorship.
The reason it’s a theocracy is because the British ruler is also the leader of the “Church of England”. Sort of how the pope is the leader of Catholicism.
I really wouldn't rely on youtube. Read a book or watch TV - because when they make mistakes on these videos, you can't stop it
I know it might be confusing, but the Commonwealth realms, like Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc. recognize the British monarch as head of state, eve thought they are independent nations, to ad another layer of confusion, the monarchies of Canada and the UK for example are seperate, so the Queen holds the tittle of Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain And Northern Ireland, but also holds the tittle of the Queen of Canada, Queen of Australia etc. however there is not tittle of, for example, Queen of Bermuda, since Bermuda is a n overseas territory of the United Kingdom, and therefore, the British Crown reigns over Bermuda, rather then there being a separate Crown of Bermuda. But, it should be kept in mind that while laws are passed in the Queens name, everyone swears allegiance to her, and she is commander in chief, and the highest person on the land in her countries, and in a legal way the crown is important (for example in court, instead of being, the state against someone, it is the Crown against someone etc.) the Queens power is still only theoretical today, as it has become constitutional tradition that the Queen only acts based on the Prime ministers, and the other ministers advice, so they in reality have the power...
Margaret Thatcher once said it is untrue to think that the weekly meeting with the queen is just ceremonial, on the contrary.
Both the prime minister and the Monarch has their hands on the rudder.
People generally forgot that the prime Minister has the legislative powers and the Monarch has the executive power.
It is really easy to understand. 💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Mark 3:25. If I recall correctly, that scene with, "God", is from the comedy movie, "Monty Python and the Holy Trail". Though to save money, it may also have been reused in their television show amd their other movies. 🤔
The reason why they were able to expand is due to two things, geography and industrialization. The industrial revolution began in England, and being near rivers and fresh water. The water allows food, which allows more economic growth, and a greater ability to explore.
that dude talks too fast
Mark 4:02. Good non-singing impression of, "The Animaniacs"! 😅
We don't hold anyone. The commonwealth nations are free nations but we help each other etc. India didn't have a bloody conflict and they are willingly in the commonwealth, along with bordering nations like pakistan and Sri Lanka.
Mark 10:14. "Jerusalem", translates into, "Kingdom of Heaven". The three Abrahamic Faiths, fought over the city during the various Holy Crusade Wars, because the believed if they installed their own king or queen on the throne of that kingdom city, then that meant they had the "direct line to God", as it were, and that He approved of their faith the most, because the winner was in charge, at least for awhile. That's the gist I got from the movie, "Kingdom of Heaven". Whereas the movie, "Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves", made it seem like the, English and other Europeans, just wanted to force their religion on the rest of the World, as if they were all, Spanish Catholic Conquistadors! 🤔
People in the North of Ireland are aloud to claim irish citizenship
Nice reaction, thanks!
I'm from Canada originally. Yeah, the Queen is still on our money and the word "Royal" is still written all over the place but nobody has cared since my grandma's generation.
Changing everything would be a waste of money so we don't bother....
Mostly right. More info: technically, Queen Elizabeth II is our head of state, but in practice her duties are delegated to the Governor General (currently Julie Payette), who is appointed by the Queen on the advice of the Prime Minister (currently Justin Trudeau). It's essentially all ceremonial, and the real power rests entirely with Parliament, with the Prime Minister as both the head of government and de facto head of state (though we're not supposed to admit that out loud).
Is it just me watch this as a brit just watching to see how people get confused
Britain does not have control of those countries, they are independent they just have the same Queen. Did you not watch?
Ireland used to be in the uk
God, don't tell my Dad he's not Irish (he's from Northern Ireland).
I'd listen to more of you two. Reaction videos are better when done like you did. A chat at the end.
Actually - Royalty hasn't always been passed down from father to son- in the UK we have had numerous kings from different families - modern day royalty started in 1066 when William the Conqueror ( French Norman ) sailed to England and defeated King Harold (Anglo-Saxon) to become King of England - it gets complicated after this from Plantagenet to Tudor and even the Dutch House of Orange and up to the present day when Queen Elizabeth the Second can trace her family back to Germany ( Saxe Coberg Gotha ) .
Trade, infrastructure, education, law, religion, and to bring this to a non industrial country did actually help the vast amount of said countries, but as with washing, you need to iron out the creases so the trade would be beneficial to both countries. And if there's any border /country disputes we would send soldiers/navy on the railway system, which we have probably have built, (Indian/African /Australian). The independence of said countries, mainly after the ww2, was to form the commonwealth, but with a much less trade deals, hence the second "empire", this is and still is down to financial /money /loot, the city of London in London, is a separate entity, with its own police, laws, hence the set up of off shore trusts across the globe , overseas territories, this is where bankers etc, basically the rich people, put their money, so they don't have to pay tax to their sovereign/home country, basically a tax dodge, and its fcuking massive enterprise, trillions if not more are dealt with daily, in the financial mile, (city of London ), I think we along with USA, Russia are the three richest countries around, India's not far behind, not bad for a little island eh lads n lasses , all the best of regards cuzs.
The invention of an accurate chronometer by John Harrison (British, obviously) allowed the British navy to navigate the oceans
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Harrison
I still need to read 'Longitude' about the race to develop a tool to measure longitude, it's on my reading list, looking forward to it.
Ireland IS a country - the Rep. Of Ireland is the full name. N.I. is also not really a country. Rather it is a quasi independent state within Ireland and ruled from the British govt but with its own certain amount of self autonomy. Politically, it is the UK. Culturally, it is Ireland. I would say it has a similar semi independent status as the Isle of Mann - but the Isle of Mann has ALWAYS been independent and its parliament is much older than the British or even possibly the oldest in the world. Isle of Mann has the remmants of its own Celtic language, Manx. More related to Irish Celtic, than Welsh or Cornish Celtic
Sailing and stealing were what we were best at. British Empire was essentially well-dressed Vikings that didn't run off after pillaging.
Thought she said she understood it but then around 9:00 there was the biggest misunderstanding
There might nit be a Great Britain in a few years. Scotland is pushing for independence and recently voted in a government commited to making Scotland an independent nation. We may even ditch the monarchy once independence is gained. While technically the UK is a theocracy inpractice religion doesn't play a role in politics. In fact here in Scotland only 7% of the population attend church or take part in any religious activity.
I read somewhere that at the start of WWII Britain owned or controlled 97% of The worlds shipping. Don't know if it's true or not so if anyone does please comment.
Interesting fact. The Queen has the ABILITY to veto any law created by countries underneath their crown. She doesn’t do so though.
She said London was a country hahahahaha
Wales was a principality until very recently ... it regained Country status this century ...
And now to try and understand how the british overseas territories fit into the EU treaties. Which ones pay tarrifs? which ones allow visa free movement? How many asterisks do you need to per point of the treaty?
Well damn im 100% british and i leanrt a lot lol i think us and uk need to join
The British empire (for the most part) was very ethical believe it or not
Rule Britannia 🇬🇧 Proud to be British
Technology was why it was possible the Industrial revolution happened in Britain coupled with a strong navy. as a footnote Scotland no longer gets to vote on English only legislation.
Im pretty sure most Irish people think of Ireland as a whole - despite the politics.
Britain doesnt have control over the countries now, its in the video
As an English man I can tell you some of the facts in this video is wrong
*are wrong.
@Ser Bowdster You haven't told us which though!
In Canada we recognize the queen as our head of state even though she has no real power whatsoever. The prime minister is our head of government and leads our nation but if he wants to sign a bill into law he would need the royal consent of the crown which has a representative called the Governor General. They don’t really do anything but sign the bills into law and call for an election but I believe that they do have the power to veto the bill and not sign it even if it passes in the House of Commons if they wanted to.
The queen also has no real power as in she can't disobey the british goverment or she and the rest of the monochy will be kicked out of power quickly. Our goverment has the power to destroy the monochy, the monochy knows this, so they'll never disobey our goverment, unless they want to no longer exist.
Excellent reaction, please react to - every country Britain 🇬🇧 has ever invaded. You’ll be shocked to discover the British have invaded virtually every nation on earth and also won every war they fought including America.
I know this video was time ago like but those two flags are Malaysia and India, it wasn’t the American flag. Great video btw ✌🏼
All these countries are free to drop us whenever, we're definitly not really in control of them, if they don't want to be connetected to us any more in whatever way, all they need to do is have a vote, we defininitly are not powerful enough to forcfully hold on to any connections if they don't want it to be that way. For example falkland island had a vote and voted to remain british, if they had voted other wise, sure we wouldn't be happy about it but we wouldn't try and stop them from doing it once they voted.
You watched the video then instantly used the terms Great Britain and England interchangeably to mean the U.K. I don't think you were paying attention or if you were you didn't understand.
Sailing and industrial revolution. The uk basically had the best teck in the day. We loved to pick a fight with with man with sticks, with muskets then guns.
We didn’t conquer.... we civilised
jenson Holman Yeah burning down entire Irish cities based on like 100 rebels actions is real civilized...
Google isle of scilly, its off of Cornwall, but looks like it's in West indies
Canada has 2 national anthem the O Canada and the God Save the Queen (which is actually the national anthem of England. I'm not really sure if Canada consider this as a national anthem.)
@Jaycee Rich Empuerto God Save the Queen is NOT the national anthem of only England even though Wales has its own (fantastic) national anthem too.
Watched the video and still said that northern Ireland and Ireland are in great britain
Not Barbados anymore ( not a Commonwealth Realm) . Still in the Commonwealth of Nations though
Also, island of Britain is about the same size as Colorado.
But with 75 million packed in :)
HR Queen Elizibeth.
They ruled the waves, so they waived the rules. ;)
To keep it simple ...
Britain is an island not a country
The island of Britain contains three countries : England, Wales and Scotland
Then, if you add Northern Ireland you get The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
which is commonly abbreviated to UK
The term 'Great' in Great Britain refers to this island being the 'greatest' meaning largest of the island of the British isles
We are not self congratulating ourselves
The term Great Britain came about when Scotland join what was then Britain (England & Wales) ... it is totally incorrect to use the term Britain today instead of Great Britain as it represents only 2 countries not all 3.
Hence everyone in the world learns English.
Nice reaction
Northern Ireland is part of the uk not Britain. Britain is an island as is Ireland
India didn't actually fight a war for independence. Gandhi led a massive non-violent independence campaign, but stopped it during World War 2, and then there were negotiations until independence was given in 1948. The non-violent campaigns were violently attacked by the Imperial authorities, and violence arose over the proposal to split up India to create a seperate Pakistan, but there wasn't a war between India and the UK, because of Gandhi's principles and strategy. That strategy, subsequently influencing Martin Luther King, was based on Gandhi's reading of the New Testament and his feelings about Jesus Christ, under the influence of LeoTolstoy in his book _The Kingdom Of God Is Within You,_ where he argued very powerfully that Jesus' commandments to love your neighbour and turn the other cheek should mean that believers abstain from violence and military service completely, and that if they did so, all war and military oppression of the people could be ended almost overnight in Christian countries, if the churches and the people just took those commandments sufficiently seriously.
Britannia rules the waves
Why dont you come and visit , I'm sure you will like it , the people but not the weather,
The video refers to the UK as a theocracy??? Not correct as we stopped basing our laws on religion way before the act of union in 1704 and the punishments for breaking the law were not derived from religious punishments (I.E crucifixion). We are a constitutional monarchy with a moderate emphasis on church and state, our institutions are intertwined with the church but our legal system is not based on biblical teachings.
