How long did it take you to make this video?
Short answer: Too Bleeping Long (well over 100 hours as I had to remake this)
(I started in around December and research before then)
What software/equipment did you use to make this video?
After effects, Illustrator, Premier Pro, Audacity, Yeti microphone,
Believe it or not this is in a nutshell compared to the amount of research that went into this
Obviously we've simplified some events just for the sake of time and missed people and events that can be covered in other videos
Do people still read? Eh if your reading this then yes.

@@user-ou4ez6ne8v the opium wars were caused when the Chinese bought the opium from china. Remember, the Chinese went to INDIA who was owned by the British. Instead of closing the border, they thrown the opium into the ocean, causing a lot of damage. The Irish famine happened because they decided that the food were more important to other colonies and the homeland since they had a larger population while the Indian famine happened because they were still recovering from ww2. The nazis and the Japanese purged races without purpose while the British were trying to stop revolts. Maybe you should at least fact check before you embarrass yourself
Britain is probably the luckiest country simply due to Geography.

@@pup1008 Are you OK mate
@@sampizzey4862
Giving off sparks mate! Why do you ask?
The best part is that most living British people have contributed to ending slavery because the debt we got into ending it nearly 200 years ago was paid off in 2014 our taxes had been going towards this debt.
Also Britain (unlike Portugal) bought slaves from African Kingdoms, some of these Kingdoms had been selling slaves during the time of the Romans. After Britain made slavery illegal multiple African Kingdoms collapsed due to slavery being their main source of income (I should also mention some of these Kingdoms only became prominent because of profits generated from slavery.)
Despite Britains efforts though Africans continued to enslave and sell each other, one of the most notable people being Ghezo king of Dahomey, Ghezo promised to end the slave trade in 1852, but resumed his slaving efforts in 1857 and 1858. He later died in 1858.

Simply well done, well executed, much appreciated this video. Many things are in perspective
As an American, and only being taught stuff about Britain from the perspective of the American Revolution, this was incredibly interesting.
Wow you should hear it from an African or Irish perspective
@@chrismwananshikumolden5247 Yer all them Africans when the British ended the slave trade for most of the world starting in 1807.
Or the Irish men, you know the ones without dark hair, as all dark hair people in Britain or Ireland are not native, most in Ireland being Spanish who invaded Ireland. How about all the Scottish that took the north of Ireland.
See you think you know history but only go back so far..
so keep going back and you will find the British always become the best at what the world is doing at that time.. this is what you are really annoyed about with the British.
The Brits who are Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, Viking, Norman and Romano-Britons to name a few.
So next time you speak of Ireland and Africa best learn how bad they got first..
So in the bigger picture of the world what has Africa and Ireland done for the world compared to Britain.
@@chrismwananshikumolden5247 Funny you mention these two countires as Ireland was still slave trading from Africa one hundred years after Britain ended it.
@@eddie8414 also Africa is a continent made up of over 50 countries not a single nation and most of them are not even older than 60 years old
It's very hard to learn about thee UK from an American perspective, since most historical textbooks (especially in school) just paint the UK as the big bad and America as the Big Good
This video: History of Britain in 20 Minutes
Next video: History of China in 20 Hours
Video after that: History of the USA in 20 Seconds
it also took u 20 seconds to rack up tonnes of debt , start a war with fucking everyone
The reason USA became a superpower so fast was because they have so many resources in their country **COUGH** OIL **COUGH** , yes, Britain does have a lot of good resources too (which is why people have continuously tried and sometimes succeeded to conquer us), but USA is far bigger so obviously has more + the UK's population density is higher than the US's. This means China and the UK and other less fortunate countries than the USA had to actually work to become global influences, such as the UK. If the British Empire wasn't a thing, democracy wouldn't have been spread so far, freedom wouldn't have been given if it weren't for the common ideals of British Citizens that were spread to its colonies, and quite obviously, the entire RUclips community would speak a different language to English- Probably Chinese or Spanish.
Everybody falls eventually US is nearing their time because of their economic instability and you Americans didn’t knock us off our high horse it was the giving away of our Empire that ended our reign.
Holy horned hell, everyone here's so triggered

As a Brit I find it hilarious that Cornwall was ever a kingdom...
TaMworth
Cornwall was interesting back then, lol. Now it’s filled with Pasties! Yikes! XD.
Not. Just. Cornwall. DEVON!! It was in Devon where the capital of the Kingdom of Dumnonia lay, it is Devon who derives it's name from Dumnonia, it was Devon that was the frontlines, Devon spoke the same language, invented the pasty, brewed the Ale, birthed or housed some this nations heroes. The only difference is we get with the times and call ourselves English.
TaMworth FOR PASTIES!!
They still have there own language in Cornwall
they invented cornish pasties, they deserve it

My stepfather is British. He tells me a lot about his beloved country. I always ask him bout UK because I’m fascinated of all those castles.
i live here in the UK, and I can say, some of the castle here are very impressive, If you ever come over, for whatever reason, I recommend Dover castle. It has everything from a roman tower to where DDay was operated from during ww2.
Britain is the biggest terrorist in world which killed million during the colonial era
If you want impressive castles, visit mainland Europe. English castles are all pretty square and bulky, in continental Europe you'll find much more variety and intricate designs

You miss 1982, Falklands war happen.
LAS MALVINAS SON ARGENTINAAAAS
Are the Falklands even remotely near Britain; No. No one ever said 'Oh I'm just going to the Falkland Islands for the Bank Holiday Weekend'. It no more belongs to the British than Ibiza does. @Lucas Lo
Yeah but everyone there wants to be British and we discovered it before Argentina was even a country we also won the war. We have democracy, history and victory on our side, and you have what? It’s closer? Well the Faroe Islands are closer to us but you don’t see us whining to Denmark to give it to us, and rightly so, they belong to Denmark and we respect that.
Why would I, a British National, up and go to an island off the coast of a foreign continent, just to inform other British people that they are a long way from home?
Firstly, I am English. Also, the Faroe Island are a few 100km closer to the most northerly Scottish Island than Denmark, the Falkland Islands are closer to the South Pole than to us. Britain has 'discovered' a lot of places over the years which they relinquished after WWII because being a ruthless and domineering Empire doesn't quite have the same ring to it as it used to. The Falklands have 'belonged' to various different nations since the 16th c. atleast and it should have been given up a long time ago and then we wouldn't be in this mess. To not look objectively at the matter is just pure Thatcherism.
I live in America and took a course on European History. But we didn't learn a whole lot about Britain, it mostly focused on The Romans, Germanic tribes, Orthodox like eastern Europe and then France and Spain. This was a very interesting video to watch, pretty much all I knew was the stuff about the colonies in America and whatever European wars the British were in.
Thank you so much! This really helped with an essay I had to do on the British Isles!
Hippity Hopperty, sounds like British Property
To everyone who thinks VC3 Production missed a lot of stuff,
It's true he did miss a lot of stuff and it's good that you're telling him about it but the ones who are angry about that he missed those stuff you should remember that Great Britain has one of the longest, greatest and influential history in the entire world. We can literally speak continuously for days and then also we will miss a lot of points. So, don't get angry about it. Just comment and inform everyone about it.

Greetings from across the pond. It's absolutely amazing the effects the Brits had on globalization given the fact that they themselves were subjected to it. The influence of the British Empire continues to this day.
Crazy how such a tiny island had such big impact lol
@@Chadaj21 Because it was an island, precisely. If it had been a continental empire, it would have been invaded by Spain, France or Germany, in the 16th, 19th and 20th centuries. In fact, the great British expansion begins after the European continental wars, which have destroyed the continent. It's the same story as Japan, which never had European empires there, nor was it occupied by the Mongols, nor did it have communism. Because? For the island and the storms. Then the Japaneses and British have managed that advantage very well. But if Napoleon enters your country... total destruction.

That really was a quick generalized history, fun video really brought back memories of history class :)
10:00 The Roanoke story was only mentioned briefly but it's super creepy. The governor of the colony John White sailed back to England for supplies leaving behind his family and over 100 settlers. When he returned 3 years later they'd all vanished without a trace apart from the word Croatoan carved into a wooden post. To this day no one really knows what happened to them (although it's thought they were all massacred by a local Native American tribe named Croatoan). Still very creepy.
It is creepy. But I really can't imagine the Natives planning a massacre on the settlers. The rest of the time it was the other way round.
@@mouldy_bowl_of_primordial_4204 that’s far from true natives objectively killed more settlers . The settlers were really good at lying to them and taking their land so it’s not like it was for no reason. Although when it comes to out right murdering the natives take it by a long shot. Most of them died from disease.
@@bendavis9564 Many died from European disease, that's sure. But there's been so many genocides that I hardly believe these genocides caused less casualties than Native American counterattacks. I'll look that up.
History social media pages make it out like it's a complete mystery when historians are 90% sure as to what happened to them. Roanoke was always intended as a temporary settlement so John White stated to the settlers before his voyage back to England to carve a message into the tree as to where they were relocating and to leave a maltese cross if it was by force, John White found no cross on the tree. The Croatoan was the name of the Native tribe that lived nearby and as historians have pointed out there were no signs of violence or forced relocation and no graves have ever been discovered there either. English settlers that came after the Roanoke colony also noted that certain Natives living in that area had European features. It's highly likely that the settlers simply moved in and married in with the Croatoan who were known for having good relations with the English settlers that came after.
I heard they were actually somewhat friendly with the Croatans. They even traded with them and most theorized they left the message to inform the English when they returned that they went to live with them so they wouldn't starve.
Britain’s history was basically a redemption story as it grew old
omg yes it is
It's actually one thing I kind of appreciate about my country's, British, history. The fact that instead of fighting to the death to save an Empire on its last legs, we slowly just gave it all back in the 20th Century and formed the Commonwealth instead. I know it's probably more due to the time our Empire ended more than anything else, if it was declining in the 18th or 19th Century, a lot of bloodshed was probably likely... But anyways, yeah, as a nation, we did a lot of horrible things that I do not condone, but at least we were able to mature in a sense.
Seratha Evistille right we were so far ahead of everyone else and still stopped and thought “maybe this isn’t good” then gave it all up. Unlike others who had to lose world wars to find that out
@@serathaevistille995 we forced the west to end slavery, brought massive leaps forward in science and technology, and fought fascism when we could have just done a sly deal with Adolf, I suppose that does make us responsible for the Warsaw pact, CCCP, North Korea, Vietnam and the EU.

Since 2020, I've been reading a lot of books and watching a lot of documentaries about the English history and its kingdom, I find this nation/country/ kingdom extremely fascinating.

Good video, but if you’re going to mention Britain and slavery, I wish you gave it credit for its incredible role in its abolishment. A practice literally as old as recorded human history, developed independently in every part of the globe and overnight a quarter of the planet made it illegal because Britain forced them to. And that’s just where Britain made it illegal directly and doesn’t include the massive pressure it applied to other European and global nations.
Spain did it first*
@@PerfectSoldieR96 He didn't say we did it first but more its role in the abolishment which was alot more significant than the Spanish regardless If they were first.
Apart from the fact that the video absolutely mentions the role of Britain and slavery, very specifically, you're correct
@@lewisvann1 a brief sentence stating Britain outlawed slavery certainly doesn’t constitute the role of Britain and slavery being “very specifically” covered, especially considering the abolishment of slavery is perhaps Britain’s greatest legacy (although there’s many, many great ones to choose from) and so deserves more than a throwaway comment. Nice try though
That is one thing that people should remember about this country.

Only an ignorant fool could love a country built on murder and stolen treasures. Britain is the most disgusting country I have ever been to and I surely will never be returning.
@@vlexer22 How am I a racist? I'm white European too. I just hate entitled, rude people who think they can take anything they want and murder millions of people while attempting to destroy other races. Don't forget what the English did in Australia to the Aboriginals. The English are the ones that are racist. That's one of the reasons I don't like them. Another being that they are the rudest people I have ever met. I don't like them because of their behaviour not because of their race.
@James Ryan I'm blaming you for your disgusting entitled behaviour that lives on today. I was in London a couple of weeks ago and have never in my life and in all my travels met such rude, entitled people. It just shows that you haven't changed and are exactly like your ancestors. "Found" hahahahahaha what a joke. If you truly think you "found" those artifacts then you sir are in serious denial. Why doesn’t your government give back the stolen Parthenon pieces to Greece? The Greek government has asked for them back so give them back you thieves. Not even your prince wants to live in England anymore and I don't blame him.
@@user-oi4bf9cr6e What country are you from?
@@lockyhocky2 America obviously
So interesting and easy to understand thank you .
Thanks a lot, you really helped me :)
The music that you set for the French is actually Prussian
Declan Russell came here to say that
Antimatter Mapping i don’t get it. You are aware that germany has a new constitution after what happened in the weimar republic and hitler..
@@marleylou8451 he's talking about how britain had an alliance with prussia, but just a little while later started an alliance with germany's (and one of its own) two biggest enemies
Prussia also helped us during the battle of waterloo but they never get any credit
As many have said, lots of details missing - but it's several thousand years of history in 20 mins, so it's not possible to cover every nuance or political or economic background. For someone new to the History, it's a good base and inspiration to learn more about whatever era piques your interest.
It's Marvelous to learn about Britain Wich has been an empire for long time. I love their culture, language and spite of living so far, I hope to travel some day from Peru to London or other are in Britain. Thanks for share.
Really good summary and narrative.
That was excellent! Well done, and thank you.
I'm from Glasgow in Scotland and we went through a period where a lot of the old sandstone buildings were knocked down (not all of them were, the people trying to redevelop our city got their act together), and I went to Edinburgh for a job interview a couple of weeks ago and realised that we are the only city that done this but they also managed to sort of blend the old and the new together and it looks fantastic, where as in Glasgow you get beautiful sandstone buildings that used to be tenements that are now just rows of flats with normal bricks covering up the holes they made in the large restoration of the city that wound up failing and with the creation of several new towns including Drumchapel in Clydebank and Cumbernauld in the middle of fricken nowhere.
It's city planning of today in general.
Big up the Parmo!
Great video. Thanks 👍
Very very very interesting history, came here after finishing the last kingdom series and what a marvelous series was it!
I can’t argue with fish and chips being the greatest dish of all time
You forgot a major part when talking about the industrial revolution. Yes Scotland was famous for its linen industry.
But it was more famous for its engineering and shipbuilding.
1/3 of all ships in the world in the 1800s were built on the River Clyde alone.
Go Clyde. Also the small ice age and the massively decreased temperature of the entire world from the middle ages to recently.
And they floated?
Exactly the glasweigens could build a navy in 20 minutes (even though I'm not from glasgow)
I believe it's still the largest ship building centre in the UK.
Hairdryers
Brilliant video!
This was so helpful!
RULE BRITANNIA! BRITANNIA RULES THE WAVES!! lol jk
We've missed out some events and people like the opium wars, Anglo dutch wars, Maori, etc just for the sake of time. And edit it was 1788 that the convicts arrived in Australia 🇦🇺
Hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!!!
VC3 Productions In game Crusader Kings 2 I was small Irish Kingdom of Mumu but in time I united all 4 kingdoms and made Empire of Britannia.
Dams I need to get that game 👌 I only have hoi4 and civ 5 😊
VC3 Productions I don't have those 2. I got CK2 when there was chance to get it for free for 3 days on steam in April. I heard Paradox does it time to time so heads up. Also they are making new game based on Rome to be released in 2019.
VC3 Productions man of culture
VC3 Productions Rule Britannia! 🇬🇧🇬🇧
12:35 actually it was only known as the Kingdom of Great Britain.
The term "United Kingdom" Wasn't used till January, 1801 when the Kingdom of Ireland joined the Union.
Kingdom of Great Britain
+
Kingdom of Ireland
=
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
Amazing video amazing country/countries
Great content!
*_The Best Video ever by VC3 Productions !! ;-)_*
This blew my mind. Brilliant video.
This summary is very effective thanks a lot
I rate this video, well done sir.
I loved this video. As a British person myself, I am surprised how much of this I didn't know.
Sarcasmal our history being so separate and unique from the rest of Europe is truly the only great thing left about Britain
Read books, and don't look to normal historical view points ....is all a lie
You also failed to point out why Scotland's new colonies in Nova Scotia and Panama (the Darien project) didn't work.... All because England didn't help when it needed help against Spain.... England used and helped Spain, destroy Scotland's efforts, because it didn't want it to succeed, .... Your not very good and telling history... You are very good though a glossy over it....
Jeff Moore
I think glossing over it is the main point in his case. It's told in a nutshell, so some facts are left out for simplicity's sake.
Judging by what’s happened to Britain, that doesn’t surprise me at all.
Just so you know our theachers played this "movie" at our school so u r popular in my school
Did they have to pause it a lot? Cause it's a lot of history to cover and explain deeper
It’s weird. I love learning about history, and find it very fascinating to know about all these historical events that happened long ago. But I don’t really give much thought into what’s going on today.
Enjoyed the presentation.
14:28 I love this sequence for some reason.
Great vid man keep up the good work
The Amazing Jack Thank you glad you enjoyed it 😊
amazingly helpful
Brilliant. Thank you.
