I wouldn't put the American War of independence in the top 10 - it was not considered important in the UK and there were benefits to UK. In fact it is not even taught much in history classes in school.
Watchmojo probably wanted it included for the American audience. But considering all the vastly more important events in our history, It comes across very ignorant. For instance if I had a list of the 10 best UK TV presenters and No8 was Rolf Harris, everything else I say is basically redundant at that point
Ladies, I have been a fan of learning history for decades. DON'T be bothered by not knowing before now, you're learning. That is the important thing. p.s. it does my heart good to see you link current events to past events. That is part of what history allows you to see.
It is impossible to know the exact number of American colonists who favored or opposed independence. For years it was widely believed that one third favored the Revolution, one third opposed it, and one third were undecided. This stems from an estimate made by John Adams in his personal writings in 1815. France and Spain funded it.And then a lot who where opposed to it moved to Canada.Cheers young ladies.
They always make out King Henry VIII as a rebel for breaking away from the Vatican, but the reformation was already active in Europe, started in Germany. It wasn't as radical or isolated as it's often made out.
Hi girls, love your energy, so positive and open. Iv just subbed, like you I love history, thanks for posting and introducing British history to people who may not have known it before👍🏽 🙋🏽♀️🇬🇧 I L💛VE Jamaica 🇯🇲 Iv stayed in Ocho Rio’s, Montego Bay and loved every minute of my stay, it is my favourite holiday destination, love the country and the people 💛👍🏽and will definitely be back in the future. Thanks again for your enthusiasm and lovely personalities, you made me smile 😊
My wife's great uncle was a former Jamaican Prime Minister - P.J. Patterson. She won't thank me for saying that as she's paranoid about gold-diggers, but if there was any money to be had from the familial connection, it avoided my wife and in-laws.
• Queen Boudicca burnt down London in 60AD • The Fire of 1213: A fire that destroyed much of the city’s wooden buildings and led to the rebuilding of London’s streets and architecture. • The Fire of 1381: A fire that occurred during the Peasants’ Revolt, which destroyed parts of the city and led to the rebuilding of London’s city walls. • The Great Fire 1666 affected 13% of London and was catastrophic in those affected areas... • The Fire of 1797: A fire that destroyed a significant portion of the city’s docklands and led to the rebuilding of the area.
Hello ladies. Some of this commentary was a little inaccurate, although these events took place. If you would like to learn a little bit more of our history - check out the American Thomas Sowell and his video 'The True History of Freedom Never Taught in Schools' . Nice to see you both together in a video again and to hear your laughter. Love from the UK
Nancy Astor, Viscountess Astor, was the first woman to sit in the British Parliament. She was elected as a Member of Parliament (MP) on December 1, 1919 (until June 1945), representing the Plymouth Sutton constituency. Astor was American born in Danville Virginia. There was a female elected a year before Astor but Sinn Fein refuse to take their seats in UK parliament.
It's kind of a radical thought that a woman, an American woman sat elected to UK parliament before the female vote was ratified in the USA the year after. Not forgetting getting an Irish woman being elected a year before Astor. But being Sinn Fein refused to take her seat in UK parliament.
Women's votes created a striking page in history but, I've always wondered why we don't hear more about when, where and mostly which men, were given the vote.
There weren't "Thirteen Colonies" there were sixteen North American colonies as well as those in the Caribbean. The northernmost colonies didn't opt for sociopolitical experimentalism. They later formed Canada.
"Can you imagine living in a time like that" In the US women were not allowed to have credit in their own names until the mid 70s. Before 1884 they were not permitted to sign contracts, control the income from her own resource or buy or sell property. We've come a long way.
hey girls, great to see you back together, you need to do more, great double act, get your own TV show, you always look so positive happy, get more done ladies, i know, and understand getting together at the right time is not always easy. takes Xee 3 weeks to stop laughing at times, and out of the bedroom, dont come at me memebers, that joke goes back to Xee early days, when we all had fun on her early live shows,
Are you aware the American National Anthem was stolen from a British Drinking Song - the words were changed to American though. Interesting the Battle of Britain was not included from WW2.
The war ran 1775-1783, how many countries countries their independence from the start of the war. The treaty of Paris, signed in Paris France by Spain, France, Britain and the Americas was signed in September and ratified January 1784. Their independence is one of those dates, as with everywhere else it's when they're recognised as independent, not a declaration that was made previous to 1776 when the rebellion started in 1770 and earlier declarations to 1776 were made.
Good to know Berwick on Tweed's war with Russia, started in 1854, finally ended in 1966 though, just as Berwick had them on the ropes. Not having the threat of the King's Own Scottish Borderers hanging over them must have had a huge confidence boost to invade Ukraine for a less troublesome war.
in the war ladies, women were very important, and treated that way, women were corprals, ordering male sodiers around, they got the jobs because they were the right people, women were on the front lines, there is not one reported case of a female leaving her post, if one fell, another took her place They worked in the factories, doing the jobs that men did, as they were off fighting, they were building machines, ammunition for the war effort they had no new clothes, or soap to get the grease out their hair, there was no stockings, they covered there legs in gravy, drew a line down the back of their legs, everything was rationed, every man woman and child played a part, in the war, thats what makes us who we are, stead fast, stiff upper lip, carry on
Hi i was born in 1965. My biological dad married to my mum disappeared did a runner... Back then women could not get a divorce easily. Mum was told she had to wait 7 years of dad being missing before she could even file for divorce. When I was 2 my grandad went to his home town in Scotland and invited to a stag do, where he found out the groom to be, was infact his missing son in law still married to my mum. Yeap Apparently it got physical and grandad dragged him to court to file for divorce.. By all accounts his new bride to be skipped the bullet the wedding never happened

The British actually abandoned the US colonies, not something that is mentioned in the US. Bless them.😂

Fun fact: the nursery rhyme “London’s burning” is about the great fire of London

The women on the front line in WW2 had full voting rights, they didn’t during ww1.
