It's so interesting that the discovery of Newfoundland was in 1497, creating the British Empire and ended in 1997 when the handover of Hong Kong happened, so thats exactly 500 years, half a millennium.
@@IncoherentSchizo Never knew. thanks for letting me know. BTW was it a permanent settlement or just temporary? When did the English colonies in north America begin?
Giving up Hong Kong in 1997 was only the unofficial end of the empire, the remaining territories were renamed the British Overseas in 2002, but the institution of the empire remains, for example in the “Order of the British Empire”

Something vaguely amusing that you marked the Empire end date at 1997 hmmm.... Also sadly this song may not be so accurate since Britons are getting arrested for "hurtful opinions" literally now
@@seronymus Yes, but owning a few kilometres of land here and there outside the British Isles isn't considered to be "an empire" any longer. Hong Kong was the last meaningful part that Britain gave up.

Did it start that early?
I thought that it had started around late 16th century.
@@user-nc5yc9es6j Nope, Newfoundland was discovered and settled in 1497 by an Italian explorer exploring for England.

Is that the true beginning of the 13 colonies of the states?

England is an Empire and has been since King Henry separated from the Catholic Church in the 1500s. So the UK funnily contains an empire within it
