You left New Zealand off the entire map. And from the Commonwealth.
And then they lost everything.
New zealand doesn't exist 😂
We've gone from an empire, to a third world slum in a very short period of time.
The British Empire (UK), owes its "Greatness" to Piracy, Slavery, Looting, to Opium Trafficking, and to the 12 Genocides committed in Africa, Australia, Tasmania, America, the Middle East, India and China. All over the world! Shame! And, it also owes its "Greatness" to the Assassinations of Gov't Leaders and the weakness of many Sovereign Nations. Jeezzz!!!
You are what you conquer 😂
Serves you right 😂😂
@@Mido-y3k it’s a russian bot so i assume he’s talking about russia
You are not more than criminals!!!
When I joined the RAF in 1972, you could fly from UK to Aus hopping from one RAF base to the next all the way.
You, my good sir are technically older than my country❤
Glorious days
Thank you for your service
The map has some errors. Ireland got independance in 1919 and wasn't part of British commonwealth (except north Ireland). Egypt got independance in 1936 and Jordan in 1946, Israel in 1948, they were no longer parts of the British empire at that point. For some reason the map didn't update. By the way, why Canada, Australia and South africa were dissapeared from the British empire at 1930's? They were already independent much before.
Also forgot about Gibraltar
Canda and Australia are still part of the Empire bc they are under the crown.
Belize gained independence in the 1980s. Too many errors, I wouldn't rely on that graphic as legit.
Now we can't organise the filling of a pothole.
It happens when you build your economy on the loots from other countries and it suddenly stops. I hope it helps. No love from India.
In Antarctica, the international treaty governs, according to which there is no sovereignty of any
country 2:22
Prior to the treaty, many nations staked claims in Antarctica. The Norwegian claim is huge and, according to the treaty, unrecognized.
The portion of Antarctica that lies just South of Tierra del Fuego has been administered by Argentina since the year 1900 it basically has about 2/3 of the area shown on red South of Argentina. The international community will meet again in the year 2048 to confirm Sovereignty to those who have a designated territory down there or whether some changes would have to be made.
Also, the islands next the southern Argentina went from Argentina (1820-1832) to Britain (since 1833) following the attack from the USS Lexington a war ship which went there to destroy the Argentine Settlement in 1832 as a result of retaliation on the part of the americans who were hunting whales and seals without a proper permit
It's crazy how much the British empire ruled and to see the state of Britain today.

bore off comrade
Republic of Ireland became independent on the 6th of December 1921 as Anglo-Irish Treaty was signed
No
We date the founding of the Irish State to 21 Jan 2019 when the first Dail met, declared independence and the Irish war of independence began the same day.
@@ed70021919?
@@ed7002 wrong. Takes like five mins to find out the Irish government and country officially recognise 6th of December 1921
Every Irish child knows this from school.
You could literally walk from Egypt to South Africa and never leave British soil.
The island of Britain is British. The rest was stolen from others
Not british but occupied by brits
Hahaha, that's hilarious
@@manoloxxl8776 Show me anywhere that is habitable that hasn't been "occupied" by one group or another throughout recorded history, what I do know is that they brought infrastructure, law, medicine the ending of tribal warfare and open slavery wherever the Union Jack waved.
Or put another way imposed rules, values and a view on the ‘correct’ social order through colonisation and imperialism.
You messed up Republic of Ireland, it was independent long before 1970.
It doesn't even include London anymore
bore off comrade
With all the illegal immigrants it hardly includes Britian anymore .
Las islas Canarias, las islas Azores y las de Cabo Verde nunca fueron británicas. Y hay más inexactitudes siempre a favor de la extensión del Imperio Británico en el continente americano
Yes. They also didn't show Gibraltar or the Falklands.
Many inaccuracies-the ceding of Newfoundland, for example, was ten years off and, for another example, the Falklands seems to have been totally forgotten.
And it is a map without New Zealand or pacific islands.
And horrendous mistakes with the Asian possessions after World War II, Kenya, Bechuanaland.... The list goes on. Utterly unreliable video.
You forgot to include Belize AKA British Honduras.
Also New Zealand, Malta, Gibraltar.
The expansion of the British Empire began with supremacy at sea in the late 16th Century under QEI. The peak of the British Empire was shortly after WWI. After WWII the British Empire went into a continuous decline.
Correct , and thanks for saving me the bother , excellent piece of history in short sentence .
Et sont petits frères les États-Unis à pris le relais. Le monde est resté au mains des anglo-saxons
@@mrm0max Yes. U.S. was a colony of the Brits specially in the east. Let’s not forgot Canada, Australia and New Zealand. U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia and New Zealand still coordinate closely in intelligence. The rise of the U.S. as a world power started shortly after the American Civil War with railroads, oil, electricity, etc. and the defeat of the Spanish in 1898. Superpower status during and specially right after WWII. U.S. was so powerful that in 1944 it helped assemble two massive armadas to invade Europe on June 6th and the Mariana Islands on June 15th.
They were in decline way before WW1. Germany and America exported like 90% of all product just before WW1. A few decades before that Britain dominated the export trade. They were begging Germany for money just before WW1
@@brucejensen3081 You’re talking about economy which is true. I was talking about territory.
Africans are grateful to the British for help spreading the Gospel message which Africans have embraced and love. 😊👊👍👌
Nice videos!
THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN!
The largest empire the world has ever seen and will ever see and will never be repeated ever.

Thank God.. the british colonial conquest was incredibly cruel and arrogant.
@@LindaGrey-wm9uc nonsense. You know nothing of history and accept too much angle from the perspecs of the sad and pathetic culture you like in. British colonial history is not so much a conquest as a humanitarian and trade endeavour. Of course there were abuses and the fatal impact causes disease and native societal imbalances but they gave so much treasure to the world they entered. No Maori has ate another Maoru since 1841! This is why the chief declared "stay with us, be our governor, resolve our disputes." Wherever the British went no Mao, Hitler Stalin (responsible for 270 million deaths) could follow because they gave the principles of civll society.
But we did it. Suck on that!@@LindaGrey-wm9uc
@@LindaGrey-wm9uc Maybe. It was also the greatest leap forward the world has ever seen.
You showed Botswana in red until the end. It was Beuchanaland until 1966 when it won independence and changed its name
U forgot to remove Ireland after WW1, it wasn’t occupied in WW2
Gibraltar should be in red after the Spanish Succession War. Nice video though!
Not for long
Canarias should not be in red, cabo verde and azores too
So many mistakes, I'm afraid

Me encanta, que pongas las islas Canarias, Azores, Madeira y Cabo Verde, como británicas es un poco peculiar, no sabía que Florida era de Inglaterra tampoco 😂😂😂
Indians should thank britain for unifying india, otherwise it would've remained like present day africa, with no territorial unity, concurrent civil wars, geneocides, diseases and famines.
India instead of celebrating independence day, should be celebrating the day of it's unification.
The famines happened under British rule. There hasn’t been a single famine after independence. The Brits didn’t actually come to unify India but is a consequence of their stay here.
@@subhashishdeb6602
Only famine that was caused by british was in bengal during world war 2.
Brtish along with other colonialists actually increased the agricultural productivity of india during their reign, by bringing in crops like potatos, papaya, maize, peanuts, sugarcane, rubber, guava, avocado, carrots, tomatos etc
There wasn't a single famine in india, since independence. The reason is UNITED NATIONS was formed after ww2 and they aided the indian govt to feed the poor, even at the time of drought or at the time of redundant food supply.
There are droughts in india even till this day, which could've caused famines.
@@subhashishdeb6602
British fought against durrani empire, mughals, mysore sultanates, bengal nawab, marathas and sikhs to form the bulk of india & kept many regions under their control as princely states letting the indegenous kings to rule and collect taxes, just like as they did before.
If there weren't any british interference, delhi would be under the afghans, because of durrani invasions, south india will be under tipu, hyderabad will be under the nizams or have been conquered by mysore, bengal will be under the afghan nawabs, northern deccan will be under marathas, and princely states like rajasthan, gujarat, j&k might have remained as sovereign countries or defeated by durrani- rohilla/oudh coalition
While I agree with some of the details you have provided, when the British took over India Marathas and Sikhs were the dominant powers in India. The Mughals were actually under the protection of the Scindias.
@@subhashishdeb6602 Durranis defeated marathas in majority of the battles they have engaged in. After battle of panipat, maratha empire was weakened.
Pakistan was under durrani control, there was an imminent threat of a full scale invasion of the subcontinent, just like what the mughals did in 16th century and durrani at that period was allied with the afsharids of iran & rohillakhand of awadh, india and had ethnical ties with bengal sultanate
British curtailed scope of such an invasion, by their direct military engagement against afghans and pushed them back to the boundaries of pakistan that exists to this day.
Always tell my sons did you know the sun never set on the British Empire.

@@BillPurkayastha you spelt British wrong and empire.
German East Africa (1885-1919) was the same size as the modern Tanzania, Ruanda and Burundi combined, but the map makes it look smaller than Kenya and Uganda. During the First World War (1914-1918) the commander of the German East Africa Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck with a force of about 14,000 (3,000 Germans and 11,000 Africans) held in check a much larger force of 300,000 British, Indian, Belgian, and Portuguese troops.
First notice that England had the Canary Island, Cabo Verde and the Azores. Specially those places were heavily defeated by the spanisg
New Zealand isn't shown
Why miss out New Zealand?
You should be used to that by now
Who?
Cause nz us a dump
So many mistakes in this amateurish video!
It could be said that the first century, the last part of the last century, and territories such as Antarctica are superfluous in the sequence.
To all the British haters, we were not without fault but for centuries the British were the tip of the spear, forging ahead to drive the human race forward. The human suffering and cruelty caused , however sad , was a price in the end probably worth paying when you weigh it against the benefits to mankind that it brought. Unfortunatelu you cant make an omlette without breaking some eggs. Before you all start bashing the British stop and look at everything you surround your life with, because the British invented/created 95% of it, so dont revell in all the comforts of modern day life and then moan about how you got them as it stinks of hypocrisy.
No for centuries muslim spear will be up to your arses.
Can you do of ottoman empire and Persian Empire too?
Why bother🇬🇧
Ah, the good old days.
And our politicians still think we have an obligation to support some of those old colonies,and it costs us billions.
'Politician' is a nice word for traitors, robber, swindlers who care only for themselves
Aha, but you rip us off for billions more, otherwise we would have been dumped in ruins like the rest.
Será para devolverles lo robado😂😂😂
You forgot Malta, who became indipendent in 1964
At it's peak the Brits had the largest empire in the world
Thank you for producing this video. Two observations. The Faroe islands have never been part of the British Empire. The Falklands (which are still British) were never highlighted. Thank you.
Thank you for kindly pointing that out! I'm sorry I made those mistakes, I guess there is not much I can do
@@Donimaps420 Videos like this are very much appreciated. Thank you again for producing.
According to the video, Republic of Ireland got independent only in 1972 but to make up for the late date, together with Northern Ireland. How weird.
The British, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Dutch & so on, carved - up the world between us (we took the most). Now it’s coming back to bite us…
Sure, it didn't take long for you guys to make a mistake. 1607 Jamestown Virginia first permanent English settlement in the New World.
The Faroe Islands were never part of the Empire. Perhaps you confused them with the Shetlands.
Forgot New Zealand and Gibraltar. And Rhodesia went independent in April 1980 but still shows up in 1982! But still a very informative video.
I thing I noticed was that American Red Indians tribes were alive till 1750s and they are practically zero in the Americas
Ahhhh, the good old days.
Scotland should be there right from the start. There was no Britain without Scotland. It was just England at the time
Wales, Scotland and NI are English colonies.
@user-wm2tw the parliament in Scotland voted to create the act of union in 1704 to create great Britain. About 100 years before that, it was a Scottish king that united the separate kingdoms of England and Scotland into one kingdom. Scotland has never been anyone's colony. Not even the Romans were able to make it one. India prior to independence is what you call a colony. If you still don't understand the difference
Antártica shown as a wall of ice in a flat earth.
And now we are being invaded..... breaks my heart
Canada, despite the Statute of Westminster, didn't leave the British Empire until they patriated their Constitution in the 1980s.
You don't have your own nation if your constitution is a law of another government and are merely autonomous because the parent nation allows it.
You missed French Arcadia turned into British Novia Scotia in 1713.
I think Canada and Australia are independent states/countrys within Brittish commonwealth/empire. So technically Australië and Canada is still Brittish empire. Also i didnt see Hongkong added in this video.
Beautiful ! Could you do the same with the french ?
What about the Falkland islands?
Map got it wrong on Ireland.
Wtf is new Zealand off every map? It was very much part of the British empire. Actually a third of the land sea territory is omitted..the south west pacific!!!
That little red spot in South Africa? Massive crater formed by an asteroid millions of years ago, major source of diamonds and rare minerals....
Ireland didn’t leave the empire until 1971?????? Untrustworthy map for sure.
After World War II, Britain regained all of its Asian possessions, such as Malaya, Sarawak, North Borneo, Brunei, Hong Kong, etc. None of that is reflected in this map. The more I look at it, the more blatant errors I find.
Wow, im 50 year's old and never knew the British had an Empire until I watched this video.
Wtf
Fun to watch but there are quite a few inaccuracies. You placed British Honduras (Belize) too far south on the coast of Nicaragua and the once independent Dominion of Newfoundland which rejoined the British Empire due to economic problems joined Canada in March of 1949. Also the panhandle portion of Russian Alaska seemed missing. Even if Britain had claims further west among the mountains of the panhandle, Russian Alaska clearly extended further south along the coast.
Thank you for pointing that out. I highly respect comments that don't just say "inaccurate"
@@Donimaps420 I am in awe of the research and work you did. I could never do it... but i do know my maps. 😎 Keep up the great work.
@@househistorian thank you
From 1708 British East India Company involved in political issues in India
Colonization and trade destroyed the Ottoman Caliphate monopoly
Interesting video, good watch. But can I ask from 17.35? There's a little red dot near Denmark or just below it. Is that little territory to do with King George the first by any chance as he was German?
Is that the island of Heliogland maybe?
Map is incorrect as Ireland has not been part of the British Empire since 1921.
Irish Free State was a dominion under the treaty, same status as Canada, Australia etc. Last link wasn't cut til 1949 and Republic declared in law.
What about Falklands?
Tangier was briefly held by England from 1661 to 1684.
Battle of Plassey was turning point in British history. A blunder by disunited Indians.
I am increasingly proud the british were there in Bengal, honestly and serioussly.
Britain also invaded the northern part of Russia's Kola Peninsula and also occupied the southern region of Vietnam.
According to what source?
Now it’s all the American Empire.
Can you make ottoman empire every year army sizes?
Good idea!
My family came to canada in 1663, on the ship The Garden of Holland. From Normandy
New Zealand not on the map at all!?
I am glad the Brits were the top , other European Languages are just too hard to learn let alone be pronounced😅
except for Spanish?
Elizabeth's reign was enough to turn the Empire into a small Kingdom.
The Glorious Revolution, also known as the Revolution of 1688, was the overthrow of King James II of England (VII of Scotland and II of Ireland) in 1688 by a union of English Parliamentarians and an invading army led by Stadtholder William III of the Dutch Republic. Orange-Nassau (William of Orange), who as a result ascended the English throne as William III of England , you forgot this 😂😂😂
Kenya was granted independence at the end of 1963, not in 1962.
Gibraltar... 1715.
La música... Sería mejor Rule Britannia de Thomas Arne.
You missed Hong Kong.
You forgot Gibraltar
You forgot the Falkland Islands
Your right, I'm sorry
hong kong too
@@Donimaps420Also you gave Britain Juneau, Syria, Cameroon, Gabon, and Eritrea
It's funny that new Zealand is not on the map. Wtf.
@DoniMaps So what about New Zealand? Do you see that as so insignificant that you don't even see the need to show it on your map?
Yes
Ireland had the free state from 21-49, then we became a republic. This video is wrong
You forget about Botswana :)
England didn't lose its empire! It became a Bank
They brought medical care and education and agricultural and architectural skills with them.
That's when the British government had balls
australia became an independent nation state in 1901
The most magnificent and beneficent empire the world has ever seen. The first to outlaw slavery in 1805 - and enforce it using the Royal Navy to blocade the west coast of Africa to stop the trade and free nearly a quarter of a million slaves kidnapped by other African tribes and sold to slave traders who were hoping to ship them to America.
1807, I think.
Back when people were more civilized
This map is wrong because afghanistan got their independent in 1919. For the first time, the sun sat in the british empires..
Those were the day's 👍
Wait still some time and even the british islands won't be in red.
No British Honduras - Belize shown.
The Canary Islands were never an English colony.
In last 2 decades colonies are kicking back, London has fallen.😢
Don't Ever Apologize....
What happened to New Zealand?
No New Zealand, no Hawaii shown. And don't think you included Belize.
Afghanistan became independent of Brutish control in 1919. Your mail fails to show that.
