It's a nice documentary but you forgot to mention the fact that slaves from Africa weren't trapped they were sold by slave owners belonging to their own people.
I love the British people despite the past history that had taken place. They were the first to put an end to slavery, and I won't remain bitter as it was the past and you cannot change that. I am from the english speaking caribbean islands, most islands except Barbados still view Britain particularly England, as the Motherland (I do not mean homeland). Some of my best childhood memories included reading British literature, I can see why most native British people are proud of their country, their achievements are impressive.
The first to abolish slavery was limited to the American colonies where they were the first to profit in the African slave trade. However they continued forced indigenous servitude ( slavery ) in Australia, India, China, South Africa and numerous additional colonies in Africa and the East Indies.
@@Ronald-wv1bz Well reminded: and I would add ie include Ethiopia ie Abyssinia where sometime slavery aspects were practically enshrined in empirical custom [ I wonder how Haile Selasse would have explained that in the 1930s had anyone asked him…]; when finally British and Allied troops found that out after accepting the final Italian surrender at end November 1941, they made their liberation and restoration of Haile Selasse’s empire conditional on the total abolition of that traditional slavery. I suspect there were other aspects of slavery existing covert in remotely administered areas of British, French and Belgian colonialisation more concerned with “turning a blind eye to keep peace” than earnest endeavour to impose rights over wrongs to people who knew little difference and possibly appreciated crusts of bread more than questionable freedom to roam around not knowing what to do and even less how to do it, not to say telling the difference between a threatening human thug and a ferocious wild animal. When all is said and done, by the end of the Middle Ages apart from Russia and areas of Eastern Europe, slavery had ended. Yet the concept of slavery became practically “reborn” along wth the newfound concepts of profit, via observations of the practice in Northern Africa where it existed unquestioned held within the Ottoman Empire and other Muslim areas (the Sudan). The rest is history: merchants trade their wares to African chieftains who possessed only human beings to pay and said merchants trading their human prisoners captive on board their vessels to immigrant Europeans in America desperate for human labour for profit from their cotton empires. Oh the pity of it all! Human labour ie human beings…largely ignorant of basic knowledge yet hardly unfeeling of not only their physical daily pain but of their unexplained mental pain as well. Add to that, the total wanton and inexcusable ignorance of so many…of the very name of William Wilberforce, MP, RIP… Indeed, whither the thought as to whether the effort was ever worth the trouble…. As in the Holy Testament KJV the Holy Gospel according St Matthew: “By their fruits, ye shall know them…” Amen…

Love for British Empire from core of my heart. As a lower caste dalit you British are saviour and angel in our life. It is the British people when they came to India the considered lowered caste as human.Before British Empire lower caste dalit were considered lower than animal. According to Hinduism a cow is sacred but a dalit lower caste is impure.If some one killed a cow he will go to hell but if someone killed or rape a dalit it was not considered a crime. It is the British people who gave right to live dalit people.
What about divide and rule between Muslim and Hindu? If dalit are happy with British then babasaheb ambedkar never spoke against British. They only want to convert dalit to Christianity.
Slavery is THAT important to you!?!??! Slavery existed for millennials, by every nation and country, British not exceptions. Truth is, Arabs were much more involved in it. British actually finished slave trade, go back and read true history, purged from woke propaganda.
Amazing video love the editing, as a British person who has studied British history, there are a lot of stories that are not in here that are worth mentioning, such as the first Christian king Athelberht of Kent & the missionary of Augustine of Canterbury during the time when England was a heptarchy, William the Conqueror defeating Harold II in 1066, Edward III during the Hundred Years War which led up to the War of the Roses and lots more.

But he mislabels the portrait of Washington in his youth for a French associate of his, who was famous for being killed.

The biggest battle of the American war of independence in terms of manpower was not fought in America Gibraltar was considered more important and was under siege at the time. It was Gibraltar or America. Britain chose Gibraltar It turned out to be a wise decision
No empire in history should be described as "great". They all built what they had through the murder and continued, systematic, and ruthless exploitation of their fellow human beings. Can you explain what about that was great?
@@mhrcracingLmao without slavery society most likely wouldn't be here, atleast as we know it today. And murder, torture, cruelty and destruction is just human nature, We've been doing that since the beginning, still doing it in the present and will be doing it untill our end, Just because we've pretended to be some loving, caring and helpful species the last century or two doesn't change anything.
The Spanish didn't establish Machu Picchu. They never even laid eyes on it. It was a hidden and abandoned city. They did establish Lima and conquered Cuzco.
@@ForgieborgThe Spanish knew of the Incas and where a lot of them were. But you’re talking about a very small area way up in a mountain.. it’s basically camouflaged and at the time would’ve been hidden by thick terrain. They probably heard of the city but I don’t think they ever actually found it. There’s no evidence of them ever finding it. No physical evidence of the Spanish speak of. However, it is believed the city was abandoned for mainly two reasons. Fear of a Spanish invasion AND an outbreak that killed many of the Incas living in the region.
Fantastic, insightful documentary. Will watch again! Only was disappointed with the conclusion, it was a simplistic and crude overview of Britains Empire, there are positives worth mentioning to administer balance.
Just to say, a lot of the content, especially the visual map content, is such bullshit. E.g. the Spanish Armada was forced to sail all around the British Isles before returning home and the stormy weather around Ireland is what destroyed most of the fleet
Saw the botched flag on the thumbnail, and wondered if anyone noticed in the comments. Judging by your words, it was the least of the details which are incorrect, thanks for saving me three hours of my life!
Before any documentary I watch I know it'll be packed full of wrong info and anti European bias. It's status quo now.. Most "history" channels are ran by people who just read Wikipedia and regurgitate the same old crap. And most people just blindly absorb it. They never question it or consider it. Just mindlessly accept anything that comes with a video. Very sad. Sucks for people like us who are able to decipher this kinda stuff and stuck not being able to enjoy these documentaries because we are aware of the problems.

@@HistoryForYou68 No it certainly is NOT. This ridiculous false victimhood narratives against the British Empire video, masquerading as a "documentary", is packed with falsehoods, lies and twists of events. It totally ignores CONTEXT, and mentions nothing about other empires, nations and peoples, who were ALWAYS far more belligerent and vicious to their own people than the British Empire ever was. The British Empire was the main entity that ended these horrible entities. The British Royal Navy shut down the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade, and had nothing to do with its origins. Hawkins was NEVER a leader in the Royal Navy. There were no fighter aircraft in the Boer Wars. Don't let this garbage anti-British propaganda video confuse you. It is on par with the Flat Earth, Ancient Aliens, 9/11 Conspiracy theorist garbage and Chemtrail silliness.

Beautifull American Narative here :) Thats how "Special Relationship" working :)) And I'm completly Neutral Here, I'm Lithuanian, so :)
Anti European bias is rampant in everything now. Americans don't give a shit about smearing England. It's academia and certain special interests who push this hatred of white people. You think white people woke up one day and decided to demoralize themselves and hate tjemselves? Hmm.. If you are still that naive then there's no hope for you.
True. One day the brits will get the recognition for the good stuff uk gave to the world like the Romans and Greeks do today. Which is far more than those small empires.
THE BRITISH RULING THE WHOLE WORLD IS JUST AS EVIL AS ANYONE ELSE RULNG THE WORLD AND JUST AS “UGLY” IF NOT MORE SO!! Yet you claim they did good !!! Can you rape someone but make it good to them?? I don’t know but I doubt even the Saints can make it that!!!! GOOD DAY AND HAPPY YEARS

Love British Empire from a lower caste dalit indian. Before British raj Upper caste Brahman people taxed lower caste dalit woman to cover their breast.If a dalit woman want to cover their breast he must give tax to upper caste Brahman. It is the mighty British Empire who end breast tax in india. Glory to the mightiest British Empire
The British colonial administration significantly influenced and rigidified the caste system in India through various policies and actions. They formalized caste distinctions via the census, integrated caste into the legal system, and reinforced economic and social disparities by favoring upper castes in land tenure, employment, and education. The introduction of the 'Martial Races' theory and separate electorates further entrenched caste divisions. These measures exacerbated existing tensions, made social mobility more difficult, and perpetuated economic inequalities, shaping the socio-political landscape of modern India.
@@HypeGurl24 Anthropologist Susan Bayly writes that "until well into the colonial period, much of the subcontinent was still populated by people for whom the formal distinctions of caste were of only limited importance, even in parts of the so-called Hindu heartland… The institutions and beliefs which are now often described as the elements of traditional caste were only just taking shape as recently as the early 18th Century". In fact, it is doubtful that caste had much significance or virulence in society before the British made it India's defining social feature. The pre-colonial written record in royal court documents and traveller accounts studied by professional historians and philologists like Nicholas Dirks, GS Ghurye, Richard Eaton, David Shulman and Cynthia Talbot show little or no mention of caste. Social identities were constantly malleable. "Slaves" and "menials" and "merchants" became kings; farmers became soldiers, and soldiers became farmers; one's social identity could be changed as easily as moving from one village to another; there is little evidence of systematic and widespread caste oppression or mass conversion to Islam as a result of it. All the available evidence calls for a fundamental re-imagination of social identity in pre-colonial India. The picture that one should see is of astonishing diversity. What the colonisers did through their reading of the "sacred" texts and the institution of the census was to try to frame all of that diversity through alien categorical systems of religion, race, caste and tribe. The census was used to simplify - categorise and define - what was barely understood by the colonisers using a convenient ideology and absurd (and shifting) methodology.
Im at one Hour into it & Loving it. a very Good Long Documentary. we were watching Downton Abbey again. & my Wife who doesn't really Study History had No idea that there was Tension between England & Ireland / the Irish. Im Like yeah there has Been for many Years.
A nice example of how Generative AI can help tell a story. Good Job. A little too much fog and dust particles in the images though. I understand it helps give the illusion of movement, but it's a bit overkill. Also, including more traditional paintings, newspaper headlines, political cartoons, etc. from the time periods would be really nice to break up the Map to AI to Map to AI to Map, etc. flow. It'll kinda cleanse the pallete so to speak. Really cool overall though.

I think it’s like with most historical documentations. You can read something like Churchills view on WW2 but you miss out the other views. You can read Shirers fact based The Rise and Fall of the third Reich, but it will be mostly a view on the German side of affairs. You have to look for the other views elsewhere. That’s a shame but it can’t be helped because it would never end. England especially has history all over the world, when you would show everything in detail you would sit here for months or years. The only one taking all accounts and show every little connection is Strachans Oxford book on WW1. And that is a though and brutal read because there is no red line. You need to jump all around the world and remember what happend a lot of chapters before. But it is a complete overview in amazing detail.
Correcttion, at the end of the 9 Yr war, the Irish were not ruled by the Anglo-Saxons! Anglo-Saxon Saxon England came to an end when the Norman's invaded in 1066! King Harold was the last Saxon king who died in 1066! :)

Slavery was already happening within Africa for thousands of years. European traders were just another market to add to Africa's internal market and Arab market, both of which were much larger than the Atlantic trade which was a much more challenging ocean route
Oh my God…the way they talk about those burgeoning and ‘wonderful’ countries that gained independence from UK, in the Caribbean and Africa as if many of them haven’t turned into utter shitholes and couldn’t run a bath without help, since the Brits left. Only Singapore is a shining example of how to learn from a colonial power and do the right thing, and of course they couldn’t resist the final comments on how we pillaged, and stole, treasures and territories from those places without them getting anything back from us…..they STILL want handouts…centuries later. And they always will.
They haven't dominated the finance system since pre-WWII. Since then, the dollar became the reserve currency. Furthermore, the Brits were still paying off their debt (to the U.S.) in the early 2000s😂😂😂😂😂
America is basically Britain 2.0. America started out as British colonies. The founding fathers of America were British. They were born in Britain, fought in the British military, and their mother tongue was English. Only 1/3 of Americans actually wanted independence from the British Empire at the time. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say America was founded by British people. I'm proud to see our American offspring thriving.
Although I enjoyed this documentary I felt that you are bias against the English, yes brutal and horrible things happened but they were no more brutal than the rest of the European countries at that time or for that matter the interfering of the USA in wars of modern times
Not biased, just facts. You can't whitewash the atrocious acts perpetrated by the British Empire against millions of colonized people around the world.

@@Cromwelldunbar yes, they built ships, a navy thus "rule brittania, brittannia brittannia rules the waves", thus the empire. spain used the gold internally which just inflated away its value in the internal economy and dispersed that wealth internationally buying luxury perishables from trade ruled by the english navy
The price of manipulating history, it was not cheap certainly. And maybe is because the gold went already trough that route, because latitude 42 was the one to return to america, hence the interest of the catalans and spanish monarchy to have links with england

You stated that in the Old testament, marrying your brother's widow was banned. That's wrong. Marrying your brother's widow was customary in those times for the very reason you stated. If anything, the reason Henry wanted a divorce was because if he did have a son, that son would have been his brother's heir and not his.
How could he be his brothers heir if his brother died? I also know that it wasn’t wrong to marry your brothers widow but it’s still unclear to me how did Henry manage to divorce 🤔
@@entropicmomathomeIn Biblical Israel, as written in the Old Testament, the brother of a man who died and left a widow without children was actually commanded to marry his widow and raise up children for him in order to preserve his name and pass on his possessions to the children, specifically the firstborn son, who would then carry on his name.

The British created modernity. It's amazing what that small island did. The British were of very high IQ whether you like it or not. The inventions from steam to the jet engine. The train to the world wide Web. You can speak of the English and slaves, but what about the African tribes who sold there own to the Muslims, who in turn sold to the Europeans. The British were tough people. You leave our how Captain Cook's mapping of Canada aided the British in their success with Canada. Captain Cook doesn't get enough recognition.
Please take notice Spain was leader in everything, even in science. Jeronimo de Ayanz invented and registered his steam machine in 1606. The list of Spanish inventions is quite long, including the creation of the first Parliament in the world in 1188. During the Roman Empire Hispania was the first province and it gave to Rome four of its five good emperors, and many sound intellectuals, and the best auriga of all times, whilst Britania gave nothing.

My ancestors farm land was stolen by colonial Britain just because in 1780s they refused to accept the British colonists ‘suggestion’ to do joint farming in the town where dozens of farmers were ‘guided’ to aggregate their plots and thus reap economies of scale. Britain was not a direct colonial ruler at that time but had build up ‘influence’ in the area - but my great great great grand father told the town ruler’s court that he didn’t thunk the British had sailed thousands of miles to teach us farming 😂. So the British ‘advisors’ to the rulers court advised a campaign of harassment against him and propaganda labelled him a loner and selfish as other farmers did Starr seeing benefits of economies of scale. And then surprise surprise around 50 years later colonial Britain didn’t hide its ulterior motives and direct colonial rule started 🤬. Descendants of other farmers then told his children and grandchildren that your dad/grandad was right after all! 😊. Britain proceeded to capture the produce of the farm land at terms dictated by them. Now, I enjoyed this documentary from an educational perspective but when I saw sad sad people from ex-colonies praising the British colonial rule I had to say ,my story as well. I don’t hate todays UK or English people but I do abhor the British Empire / Colonial Rule, I can never forget what colonial Britain did to my ancestors farm lands for no reason at all. So there you go.

@Minikitty130 In one of the images, he has two portraits of George Washington, one as President, and one in his youth. But he mislabels the portrait of Washington in his youth for a French associate of his, who was famous for being killed.
But this documentary is still seriously high-quality and without a doubt deserves its 1.2mn views it has gained at the time of writing this comment.
Great Documentary! However no mention of The Battle of Hastings, The Magna Carter, or The Abolishonists?

No empire in history should be described as "great". They all built what they had through the murder and continued, systematic, and ruthless exploitation of their fellow human beings. Can you explain what about that was great?

The Spanish didn't establish Machu Picchu. They never even laid eyes on it. It was a hidden and abandoned city. They did establish Lima and conquered Cuzco.
So the armed forces of Machu Picchu shot themselves? How did they all die and how do you explain the Spanish expansion into their territory
@@ForgieborgThe Spanish knew of the Incas and where a lot of them were. But you’re talking about a very small area way up in a mountain.. it’s basically camouflaged and at the time would’ve been hidden by thick terrain. They probably heard of the city but I don’t think they ever actually found it. There’s no evidence of them ever finding it. No physical evidence of the Spanish speak of. However, it is believed the city was abandoned for mainly two reasons. Fear of a Spanish invasion AND an outbreak that killed many of the Incas living in the region.

Love British Empire from a lower caste dalit indian.
Before British raj Upper caste Brahman people taxed lower caste dalit woman to cover their breast.If a dalit woman want to cover their breast he must give tax to upper caste Brahman. It is the mighty British Empire who end breast tax in india.
Glory to the mightiest British Empire
What a naive idiot😂😂. British divided people based on caste more than anybody else. Their whole motto was divide and rule.
The British colonial administration significantly influenced and rigidified the caste system in India through various policies and actions. They formalized caste distinctions via the census, integrated caste into the legal system, and reinforced economic and social disparities by favoring upper castes in land tenure, employment, and education. The introduction of the 'Martial Races' theory and separate electorates further entrenched caste divisions. These measures exacerbated existing tensions, made social mobility more difficult, and perpetuated economic inequalities, shaping the socio-political landscape of modern India.
No they didn't
@@HypeGurl24 Anthropologist Susan Bayly writes that "until well into the colonial period, much of the subcontinent was still populated by people for whom the formal distinctions of caste were of only limited importance, even in parts of the so-called Hindu heartland… The institutions and beliefs which are now often described as the elements of traditional caste were only just taking shape as recently as the early 18th Century".
In fact, it is doubtful that caste had much significance or virulence in society before the British made it India's defining social feature. The pre-colonial written record in royal court documents and traveller accounts studied by professional historians and philologists like Nicholas Dirks, GS Ghurye, Richard Eaton, David Shulman and Cynthia Talbot show little or no mention of caste.
Social identities were constantly malleable. "Slaves" and "menials" and "merchants" became kings; farmers became soldiers, and soldiers became farmers; one's social identity could be changed as easily as moving from one village to another; there is little evidence of systematic and widespread caste oppression or mass conversion to Islam as a result of it.
All the available evidence calls for a fundamental re-imagination of social identity in pre-colonial India.
The picture that one should see is of astonishing diversity. What the colonisers did through their reading of the "sacred" texts and the institution of the census was to try to frame all of that diversity through alien categorical systems of religion, race, caste and tribe. The census was used to simplify - categorise and define - what was barely understood by the colonisers using a convenient ideology and absurd (and shifting) methodology.
British took away dalit people and sold them in the name of slavery 😢😢

I think it’s like with most historical documentations. You can read something like Churchills view on WW2 but you miss out the other views. You can read Shirers fact based The Rise and Fall of the third Reich, but it will be mostly a view on the German side of affairs. You have to look for the other views elsewhere. That’s a shame but it can’t be helped because it would never end. England especially has history all over the world, when you would show everything in detail you would sit here for months or years.
The only one taking all accounts and show every little connection is Strachans Oxford book on WW1. And that is a though and brutal read because there is no red line. You need to jump all around the world and remember what happend a lot of chapters before. But it is a complete overview in amazing detail.
The craziest history I’ve ever watched.
Correcttion, at the end of the 9 Yr war, the Irish were not ruled by the Anglo-Saxons! Anglo-Saxon Saxon England came to an end when the Norman's invaded in 1066! King Harold was the last Saxon king who died in 1066! :)

Great work. But somewhere in the beginning, the year of the war that Athelstan led was 937, not 927. But I might be wrong.
My ancestors farm land was stolen by colonial Britain just because in 1780s they refused to accept the British colonists ‘suggestion’ to do joint farming in the town where dozens of farmers were ‘guided’ to aggregate their plots and thus reap economies of scale. Britain was not a direct colonial ruler at that time but had build up ‘influence’ in the area - but my great great great grand father told the town ruler’s court that he didn’t thunk the British had sailed thousands of miles to teach us farming 😂. So the British ‘advisors’ to the rulers court advised a campaign of harassment against him and propaganda labelled him a loner and selfish as other farmers did Starr seeing benefits of economies of scale. And then surprise surprise around 50 years later colonial Britain didn’t hide its ulterior motives and direct colonial rule started 🤬. Descendants of other farmers then told his children and grandchildren that your dad/grandad was right after all! 😊. Britain proceeded to capture the produce of the farm land at terms dictated by them. Now, I enjoyed this documentary from an educational perspective but when I saw sad sad people from ex-colonies praising the British colonial rule I had to say ,my story as well. I don’t hate todays UK or English people but I do abhor the British Empire / Colonial Rule, I can never forget what colonial Britain did to my ancestors farm lands for no reason at all. So there you go.
