- A single empire in Europe would take over a quarter of the planet’s land and population.
The foundations began on the lands of England, with a powerful British Monarchy igniting an extraordinary story of exploration and world domination.
The British Empire saw the greatest stories of human achievement and triumph.
But also saw the worst sides of humanity.
After the discovery of America around 500 years ago, they ventured out into the oceans.
The British would encounter unknown civilizations, creating historic partnerships and rivalries.
Within 4 centuries, the empire would be worth over 600 billion dollars.
But how did an empire that owned parts of The Americas, Asia, Africa and even Australia eventually come to an end?
We must start from the beginning.

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.
Thanks for the bit of knowledge@@Ronald-wv1bz
Thank you ❤🇬🇧
@@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…
You realise we've been lied to A LOT, if you learn your history you will understand that England was just fighting for their survival right up to the present day, peace 🎉
A really good & interesting documentary. Many of the images used were inaccurate but overall it is good.

@@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.
Not bad, he managed to get a whole 26 seconds into a 3+ hour video before mentioning slavery. Well done my friend, well done.
I presume that is irony!
without mentioning the actual Africans sold their own ppl into slavery to the West.
Great documentary, very informative
Yes, while intentionally missing a lot.
One of the greatest empires of all time
it was the greatest empire
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?
@@mhrcracing shut up leftie
@@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.
to be exact in greatest terms.
It comes below the ranking of Isreal (colony of USA).
When Hawkins came Taj Mahal was not even built...😅😅😅
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. Would love to help make you more bits of content. Subscribed!
Appreciate the support :)

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.

Seems to me there's lot of inaccuracies, errors, missing facts, and bias.
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.
Good, don't watch.

They still dominate the world finance system
the new empire
lol no the united states dominates. britain isnt close but they are still a major player financially
@@garyreid7865 the united states has significantly more financial influence
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.
Great work. But somewhere in the beginning, the year of the war that Athelstan led was 937, not 927. But I might be wrong.
This helped my history exam
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

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.

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.

It is biased towards the British Empire because that’s what the documentary is about.
This is great! Many thanks
@@007JNR no it certainly is NOT great.
It is anti-British propaganda, packed with falsehoods, lies and twists of events, along with huge omissions and blatant disregard for events throughout the 19th and 20th centuries that totally go against the vindictive narratives of this trash video.
Scotland was an independant nation from 1314. No mention of that......
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.

This royal throne of kings, this sceptered isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-Paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall,
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands;
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England,
This nurse, this teeming womb of royal kings,
Fear'd by their breed and famous by their birth,
Renownèd for their deeds as far from home,
For Christian service and true chivalry
As is the sepulcher in stubborn Jewry
Of the world's ransom, blessed Mary's Son--
This land of such dear souls, this dear dear land,
Dear for her reputation through the world . . .

As a proud Brit I'm a little offended you think our history started in the 9th century. What happened to the thousands of years or history before then?
It pretty much did startthere for us
The documentary is how the British "Empire" began and how they gained control over so much territory across the world. Read the subject line!
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

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.
Anglo saxons and celts hate indians
😂
And they banned widow burning too.
I’m from Pakistan and I honestly believe that sub-continent would have been better off if it just remained under the British.
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.
Awesome video, well done.
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. (Deuteronomy 25:5-6)

Great Britain didn't exist then.
I'm disappointed when you talk about South Africa you only mention the Battle of Isandlwana (which was only but a minor part of British expansion), and the Anglo-Boer War (which was a war between settlers). You don't talk about the Frontier Wars/Xhosa Wars (Africa's 100 years war; 1789-1889). Maybe you should make a whole episode about this war.
The English nobility were slaughtered by the Norman French in 1066AD there was no longer any English nobility. These Kings/Queens from 1066 were Norman French and they spoke French.
Not actually the case. There was a merger over decades and centuries. English only became the first language amongst the aristocracy again in 1400. The legacy of this is here today with Europhiles and Anglophiles. The battle between Napoleonic/Roman law and common law.

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.

@@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

@@BeginningToNowwOpse!!! Sorry!! … didn’t know !! Well done brother!!
Your wrong Edward became king before Mary was queen
this is only about the history of British politics
Wow you are smart 😂
History of the British empire, but completely skips over the 1066 Battle of Hastings...
This documentary series is seriously marred by the Anti-British bias, and poor selection of certain images.... such as fighter aircraft during the Boer War.
No, the controversial oil demands for Persian oil was not one of the eleven causes of World War 1.
The documentary also totally ignored the British Empire being the first to end slavery and shut down the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade, while playing on Hawkins, in his minor personal role in slavery.
To be fair, the efforts of British politicians to end the slave trade should have been better featured.
There was no lies told. You just don't like to hear it
@@historyntruth1970they started slavery and them compensated themselves to the tune of 2billion pounds..
Did you not watch the video?
@@007JNR
There were PLENTY of lies told, and slavery has been around since the dawn of civilization.
No, the British Empire certainly did NOT begin the slave trade.
They did, however, gain brief control over the Spanish and Portuguese slave trades.
The Moors, followed by the Barbary Pirates, had captured and enslaved more than one million British, Irish and French coastal dwelling people, and several communities were totally abandoned, due to this practice.
Hawkins aside, the vast majority of the British people, even at his time, found the slave trade absolutely abhorrent.
The opposition to this brief involvement was so strong, that the British Empire became the first Empire in History to ban it, and they did that without even going through a bloody civil war, such as the American experience witnessed.
The Royal Navy shut down the slaver forts of West Africa and the trade simply continued in the Muslim world.
Gordon of Khartoum was attacked, besieged and murdered, due to his opposition of slavery by the Sudanese Sufis.
Yes, I certainly did watch this ridiculously childish, biased nonsense video.
Apparently you have not ever studied the events from other sources....far more valid information... about the various historical topics that this Anti-British trash tried to touch upon.
Pick up some books.
Spend some time in a library, rather than base your somewhat faulty ideas of "History" on a video with a blatantly Anti-British agenda.
@@007JNR this has been totally sorted out before.
Slavery has been around since the dawn of civilization.
The British Empire, and Jack Hawkins in particular, was the greatest international force AGAINST slavery in history.
The British Empire only became briefly involved in the slave trade through defeating the Spanish and Portuguese Empires and by default, gaining their slave.trades.
The Islamic world had more than 1300 years of experience in the slave trade, and African kingdoms, such as Dahomey and Benin, made their fortunes through enslaving the people of minor tribes within their own territories.
The Moors, followed by the Barbary Pirates, regularly attacked British, Irish and French coastal areas and enslaved more than a million people.
The very words of "Rule Brittania" state the obvious British opposition to slavery.
"Britons never, never, never shall be slaves".
The extreme distaste for slavery led to an abolitionist movement, hundreds of years before the American Civil War.
The British offered freedom to all American slaves who escaped from American plantations, and even welcomed them into British units, fighting alongside British and Loyalist troops in the American Revolution.
The terminus for the Underground Railroad was in southern Ontario and Halifax.
The British Empire banned Slavery in 1808, and the person who made this video was quite wrong about his ridiculous claim.
During the War of 1812, Black troops fought against the American forces, alongside British, Canadian and Native troops at Queenston Heights.
During Queen Victoria's reign, in the mid-19th century, the directives of the British Conservative Party, led by Disraeli, sent the Royal Navy to shut down the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade, and smashed the Portuguese and Spanish slaver forts along the West African coast.
The final defeat of the Barbary Pirates ended the threat of enslavement to British coastal areas.
The slave trade simply continued as it always had, with the Arabs.
Slave markets still exist in Libya.
Gordon of Khartoum was killed for trying to end slavery in the Sudan.
Financial compensation?
To whom?
That is ridiculous.
Wars cost far more than that, and British efforts were clearly against slavery.
The British Empire was the first Empire to ban slavery in history.
Sort yourself out.
Very good documentary but man TOO MANY ADS.
No it isn't.
It is full of Anti-British trash, through never covering the full stories, and skipping all the good things that the British Empire did... which far outweigh any negative effects.
No it isn't.
It's full of Anti-British trash, and blatant lies and partial stories, taken out of context, misunderstood, and then expounded upon, creating a ridiculously childish, false victimhood narrative history of the Empire
No it isn't.
It's blatantly obvious that it's about taking fragments of history out of context, misunderstanding them, and creating an absurd, entirely false victimhood narrative for attacking British history.
Bloody Sunday was 1972 not 1920
There's been a few. It's an often pulled PR trick by rebellious people.
there are two bloody sundays, one in 1920 in dublin, michael collins group killing british secret police, followed by the black and tan massacre at the gaelic football match. in 1972 there was the bogside massacre, also called bloody sunday

Interesting, virtually all of the narrative about the Mayflower around 31:45 is a near direct copy of what is written in the Wikipedia article for the Mayflower: "The ships set sail for America around August 5, but Speedwell sprang another leak shortly after, which necessitated the ships' return to Dartmouth for repairs. They made a new start after the repairs, but more than 200 miles (320 km) beyond Land's End at the southwestern tip of England, Speedwell sprang a third leak. It was now early September, and they had no choice but to abandon Speedwell and make a determination on her passengers."
and, "When Mayflower sailed from Plymouth alone on September 16 [O.S. September 6], 1620, with what Bradford called "a prosperous wind", 29 she carried 102 passengers plus a crew of 25 to 30 officers and men, bringing the total aboard to approximately 130. At about 180 tons, she was considered a smaller cargo ship, having traveled mainly between England and Bordeaux with clothing and wine, not an ocean ship."
and, "In mid-ocean, the ship came close to being totally disabled and might have had to return to England or risk sinking. A storm had so badly damaged its main beam that even the sailors despaired. By a stroke of luck, one of the colonists had a metal jackscrew that he had purchased in Holland to help in the construction of the new settler homes. They used it to secure the beam, which kept it from cracking further, thus maintaining the seaworthiness of the vessel."
The British Empire must be the only one that was not ended by conquest from other people!
We gave it up gradually and give civilisation and democrcay to many primitive people.
One day while looking at a map I realized Detroit is French. d'étroit (pronounced day twa) means narrow. Considering its location this makes perfect sense.
