Original Video: • Every Country England ...
When I said Bristol it was not referring to the west side of Liverpool! Lolz just another city.
during 1812-15 it was when the brits sailed to america and set the white house on fire and americans then had to white wash the whole thing which is why it’s called the white house and then as it said we had 2 states until a few years later aswell so
Oh I just commented on that lol hay man this godforsaken island is so small it is only 100 miles away so to you it's local , you probably drive further than that to get milk and bread 😂
U mentioned pirat films tv shows if u havent seen it I highly recommend black sails series its pretty fucking good
Cary Grant is from Bristol - a city in the west.
I'm from Liverpool and have also lived in Bristol so can confirm it's not the same place. There is no west Liverpool just North and South but to be fair you'd be hard pressed to find someone from North Liverpool who does not have Irish Heritage, there was only one kid in my year at School who didn't have either Irish parents or Grandparents, he was Sri Lanka.
Invading and upsetting the French is more of a hobby
Hahahahaha
It's said that a Brit can't stare at the smug face of a Frenchman for more than 5 minutes without wanting to go to war.
Mark Saunders The french don't have the stomach for it, too busy bathing in perfume, and making love with their faces.
That's what France is for, lol!
@@saundyuk ITS TRUE!
The British Crusade Against Slavery is another good reaction video.
Yes I agree . It forced Lincoln to later add slavery in his list for reasons to invade the South as up until then the British were supplying the underdogs with no industrial might with arms and supplies .
The English stopped slavery here in the UK not the British.
@@kevinrobertfrasier1309 Yawn 😧
@@kevinrobertfrasier1309 while you're technically right, at this point the distinction between British as a nationality and English as a ethnicity is not worth much effort. Of course English people are a distinct ethnicity, but the efforts of continuing stopping the slave trade into the future was a British effort
Also they stopped other countries trading and shipping slaves.
This is why we no longer win Eurovision song contest 🇬🇧✌️

I think the last time we won that thing was Katerina and her Waves and it wasn’t Walking on Sunshine
Also because our latest entry was awful lol, that Italian band was way better
Nil Points
We were so impressed with Nepals resistance that to this day we recruit their people to serve in our military as Ghurkas.
Fuck yeah we do lol the crazy but humble bastards lol
If you can't beat them get em on your side!
Once they draw their kukri (official knife/sword) they have to draw blood - even their own.
It's considered a supreme right to join the Ghurkas; and they're loved ny the British people.
@@stevehughes6627 they dont have to draw blood thats a myth. that said ghurkas are fucking awesome.
The Maori were also hard nuts and impressive fighters. Though they fight only for NZ
Ghurkas fight like demons best servers to the Britain army ever i would not want to fight against them lol
We only invaded these places so they would speak english when we went there on holiday.
Lol
@@nicolalaws1791 plus we needed someone to play against in cricket
That's clever, Mallorca still has more British than spanish 😂🥘
But we swindle you with bad sangría at high price in vengeance 😘
And play cricket
The funny thing is, the video even left a few places out.
The Falklands 🇫🇰

Yes, there's a reason half the world's penguins are British!
The Pirate accent is derived from the UK West Country accents - Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Bristol etc
Bristol may as well be in jamaica now
@@edmundprice5276 🤣
ARRGH Jim, lad!
There's a reason for the saying that "the sun never sets on the British empire." ;)
This is because God would never trust an Englishman, in the dark....
@@richieb7692 If the French had knocked out the British navy this would be a French empire or possibly Spanish it was going to happen anyway someone in Europe would have had this empire for awhile.
@@richieb7692 yes Britain so good even god fears us.
@@richieb7692 thankyou for the compliment.
and well technically the sun still hasn't set on the empire well it not the empire any more but there are just enough island nations that are still British territories so that at least one of them still has the sun shining for one 1 a day there is only one where the sun hasn't set
When you think that the U.K. is 45 times SMALLER than the US those figures are amazing !
And when you think that Texas is almost 3 times bigger than the uk kind of makes it seem crazier haha
One of the benefits of our history is that our actors get to play the villains in many Hollywood films.
Hahaha glad someone else recognise that .The British don't even have to be in a film to be the bad guy....I am legend... British drug to cure cancer makes everyone into zombies.... golden eye British intelligence information was to blame for bad decisions and the big AI system tries to take over the US..
Or just watch a Mel Gibson film .
Or the die hard films were the Germans are the baddies played by British actors ( although Jeremy irons is Irish I believe).
Obviously there are no bad guys in Germany....
An American told me that it's because of the accent that makes them sound more believable....( I think it is because of the subconscious anger about being a colony ... hehehe). still it's nice to be good at something....
Us Brits just like to tell the rest of the world how to do things properly. We're usually right of course.
What amazes me most about it ,is the LOGISTICS involved , planning ,movements etc must have been AWESOME .
For the majority of these countries, the day that they encountered the British was the most significant day in their nations history ..For the British it was just a Tuesday.
The Pirates had west Coast England dialect.
South west. Devon Cornwall etc. 👍
@kai connor sure ,but along parts of the cornish costline during 1700s land piracy was pretty popular in the form of smuggling.
@@chrisholland7367 I dont think hes denying that hes explaining you missed out somerset
They certainly did in the movies - not a Scottish or Irish dialect, but my understanding is that pirates were a diverse bunch. I believe the stereotype of pirates speaking with west country English accents stemmed from their portrayal by Robert Louis Stevenson in his popular book Treasure Island.
I remember hearing that they actually didn't and it is more likely it was like cockney. The stereotype is due to a West country actor in the first pirate films. It came up on QI but can't find the source as I'm on mobile
There was no TV or internet in those day so we had to find out what was going on.
...or make it happen
The British were laying undersea communications cables in 1850. It's why they were so successful at trade.
We would have invaded more but we did have to stop for tea 🍵 ,great video and reaction 🇬🇧👍
I do believe thats one of the reasons we raided china primarily is for their tea leaves
Asking questions doesn't make you sound dumb! Quite the opposite in fact 😊 x
Actually the classic 'pirate' accent made popular by the actor playing Long John Silver in the original Treasure Island movie was based on a South West English accent, specifically Bristol. This is probably quite accurate as a lot of the most famous pirates like Blackbeard and Benjamin Hornigold all grew up in Bristol.
Robert Newton from Dorset.
Not historically accurate as most pirates weren't from south west England.
@@MrSchizoid405 Not "most", but most prominent. See Jack Hawkins, Drake, Frobisher & etc.
@@terencehill1971 Well taking a look at famous pirate lists today gives some results that don't suggest most prominent where from SW England at all. Black beard is about all I can think of and "drake" Drake wasn't really a pirate. Jack Hawkins isn't well known. I think back then that may have been the case simply because of Black beard, but the Caribbean movies have opened up the world of pirates to include more than just white male dominated English figures.
Thanks for watching the recommendation. Another one that's popular at the moment and possibly up your street is "When Britain nuked America... twice"
Good luck with your channel ✌️🏴
If I remember correctly we burned the half built Whitehouse to the ground in 1812
When I last visited a foreign country as a tourist it did cross my mind whether or not to conquer it. However I was in Dallas and Texans tend not to appreciate the attitude, so I was dissuaded from such thinking.
To this day as a Brit, I still have to hear the whining and crying of certain people who live in a country that let us just take them over , makes me kind of proud, because i'm done being politically correct.
As a Brit, all I can say is, they started it....
It didn’t cover all of the places that the UK owned. Several more were missing like the Falklands.
I’m not 100% sure but weren’t the Falklands part of the uk then Argentina took it so then it would classify as war with Argentina which he said
@@thiccieredd9606 been a few times in the past with Argentina having tried putting boots on the falklands but same with the french and others. It ties into the Spanish and Portuguese dividing up the new world to who claimed ownership in which brits have always said the Brits.
So the islands have been claimed and uk had to send troops to restore ownership (invading now disputed territory)
@@Docktavion it's not disputed, It's British.
@@Lungdog I never said it wasn't and I agree 100%. I'm pointing out that the history of the Falklands goes far back for many hundreds of years.
The Cayman Islands as well
Every country England invaded: starts with wales and Scotland in red
Wales was the very first colony of England. I say that with a bitter heart, as a Welshman.
@@Aeronaut1975 well the past was a pretty shitty time and most nations and peoples have done bad things they're not proud of! But I for one am glad to share an island with you guys. Never had a bad experience in Wales, such a beautiful country and friendly people. Said as an Englishman with love in my heart 😊

Scotland was more of a marriage , you king is our king..etc
This is exactly why it was called the Empire
Hi Enok, have a look at the "Kings and Generals" channel about Thomas Cochrane. He was called "La Lupe De Mare" or "The Sea Wolf" by Napoleon. He liberated Chile and Peru from Spanish rule and Brazil from Portuguese rule. He was an Admiral in 4 different Navies, and is still remembered every year by the Chilean Navy.
Just as an aside and apologies if you already knew this but the Southern US accent is thought to be very similar to the English accent going back to at least the 16th century. I was told this by a linguist, it isn't my field.
If you read Shakespeare in a Texan or Alabaman accent it really does work and I believe the theory.
I think I'll go and listen to Freebird now; it's put me in that mood.
To be honest it's usually easier and quicker to just list the places we've not graced with our presence, it's a very short list
We British do like to travel.. Lol.. You need to check out (Al Murray's,, name a country we have defeated them).. Everything he mentions in it is true,, it Can all be fact checked..
We were commanded to go forth and make the world England by our Queen. We took this commandment to heart and obeyed it to the letter.
Times have changed but, we have not changed in this regard.
If commanded we will again obey.
Lol you make us sound like a right bunch of saps 🙄 most people wouldn't be arsed to get up off the sofa mate, that's the reality. Those days are over, get a grip.
The Brits used to say "The sun never sets on the British Empire." The Irish say "That's because God wouldn't trust them in the dark."
And then everyone would reply, " Go home mum, you're drunk".
Despite the animosity some Irish have towards England/Great Britain, Irish soldiers have a history to be proud of under the union flag.
Well Ireland always did have a worse bark than bite...
To which the Brit replies. "Yeah, because only God *really* knows what we're capable of."
Try a Vindaloo, predominantly considered an Indian dish but was invented in England. If you survive this then you can eat.
Well, we live on a small island, so we thought we would get a bit of space!
How is it a small island? It is the 8th biggest island in the world and has a population over 60 million.
@olliedwards8069 new York is about 2x size off uk
You are not at all stupid. Many Americans know nothing outside the US. You're pretty well-informed.
Schools all round the world only teach the history of said country not other countries.. half the time people dont know anything other then the place they live
UK: Whoops, sorry about that. We're much nicer now although since leaving the EU we're starting to level up and we're starting to itch a little as there's no wars at the moment.
Bro is that an aphex twin pfp
Watch... Argentina will invade the Falkland island aided by chinna and. We brits will fuck em. Amen
The British crusade against slavery is a very good watch.👌
We just really liked to travel, and it's cheaper in the long run if we just own where we go to, and if we civilised everywhere we went then it's just like England but warmer.
There is a saying that the sun never sets on the British flag 🇬🇧 , that is still true today with our commonwealth nations and with the armed forces deployed around the world
The British started using It in the 18th century, but It was first used by the spanish in the 16th century under the reign of Carlos V.
You traveled more though 😉💕
As a Scot, have to take issue with this video - it's called every country ENGLAND invades, and starts its timeline at 1169 with the current UK's borders - borders that did not exist until 1922. The maker of this video are making the common mistake foreigners make of beleiving the UK and England are the same, which they arn't, and he's interchangebly using the terms English and British, and showing the UK flag during wars that happened before UK existed.
England occipied Wales in 1277 - 1283 (which the video just ignores), and until very recently (1967) Wales was unfortunately treated by England and the UK governments as if as if it was part of England (a principality rather than a country).
England invaded Scotland a number of times during the 12-14th centuries (again ignored) but couldn't hold on to us. We remained independent until 1707 when Scottish lords wanted access to an empire and could get instance access to England's feldging one by signing a treaty to merge Scotland and England into the United Kingdom and the term "British" started to get used. The 1707 didn't count as an invasion, but the UK certainly didn't exist in 1169 as the video claims.
Northern Ireland became a thing, as it was the last British colony on the island of Ireland after the rest of Ireland broke away in 1922. Which brings us to the current borders this map mistaken starts with in 1169.
The video he chose wasn’t perfect for many reasons, some of which you’ve covered succinctly.
The UK is basically England with a couple of hangers on that we can't get rid of
@@seasider4850 If you want rid of us, then it certainly would help your London government, overwhelming controlled by 82% of English MPs, didn't constantly block attempts at further independence referendums.
Or for that matter, hadn't interfered with the last one, making promises during the final days campaign when Yes took the lead in the polls in return for a "No" vote, then promoptly renaged on as soon as the referendum was over.
In fact, he's the easiest option, why not all three of the main English political parties just stop financially propping up their Scottish/Welsh branches, who's sole policy these days is "we oppose independence" - see how long they last on their own two feet with without financial backing from another country.
England could end the "Union" and be rid of those "hangers on" tomorrow it really wanted too, sadly your leaders seem desperate do everything in their power to prevent it, and I have yet to see any mainstream English political party advocate for English independence from said "hangers on we can't get rid of".
7 minutes in and you look surprised.. only just the beginning. we ain't that bad really. :)
This is typical behaviour of us Brits, we just can't get along with anyone.
@Jim BeansCome on guys this is 2021 now, can we just apologise for what our country did so we don't risk offending anyone rather than this factual conversation you seem to be having.
@@jabba7746 no we cant cos were the ones that are gonna survive in the world. Idiots such as the people that dont want to listen to facts and actualities because they dont feel like it are pathetic wastes of space.
@Jim Beans Bit harder to read sarcasm than it is hearing it so no worries. At times I'm as annoyed as your rant was with this country nowadays.
To be fair, most of the British Empire was a trading Empire, they didn't invade many Countries, they started with Companies such as the East India Company which set up trading and manufacturing with the approval of local rulers and became rich enough to have their own Army which enforced things when conflicts with local rulers broke out, it was only later that that Britain took over that control.
This makes me proud🇬🇧🇬🇧
He's using modern terminology for geographical locations when in reality some countries just didn't exist back then. The British created Belgium for example. Many references to modern countries are out of context for the benefit of those who don't know the basic geographical reference.
Germany was Prussia in parts, Russia started under different names, well you get the idea modern day countries, borders and boundaries just weren't the same centuries ago. That's the problem with an ever evolving continent were land borders are contested and moving all the time.
Napal actually was never conquered. Their soldiers impressed us Brits so much we created a regiment for them in the British army, watch a video about the Gurkhas, a feared soldier that to this day serves in the UK military. Only India has them too, and that's because some chose to stay when India went independent.
Yeah, that's a problem with a lot of these "everywhere Britain invaded" articles - they use modern borders and colour in the whole modern country if England/the UK ever invaded anywhere that is now within that country. But at the time, the borders may have been different, or the country might not even have existed.
The video also includes Scotland and Wales as England, which obviously they’re not, but they just to the overall tally.
"Indirect rule" meant that the empire of over 300 million was ruled by something like 70,000 people.
Setup a po box and get people sending food over!
ruclips.net/video/eYfV1REeHuw/видео.html
it only took 3 men and a bike to run India
In that video they don’t mention the Falkland Islands, the Sandwich islands, Ascension Island, Tristan de Cunha, the British Antarctic territory, the British Indian Ocean territory or Bermuda. I’m pretty sure there’s some others missed too....
Cayman Islands
pretty sure a number of islands in the indian ocean also got missed.
And Pacific
@John Ashtone you could 1982 as an invasion since for a brief period in 1982 Argentina did have control of the islands before the British retook the islands
The War of 1812, otherwise known as "The Empire Strikes Back"
Yep, there’s more still haha. He could have kept going down South America to the Falkland Islands, South Georgia and British Antarctica… We were wild, man.
We also invaded Turkey in 1915. Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria 1942-43. Falklands, Ascension, Antarctica (fighting the penguins), etc.
France was more of a weekend hobby, had we not had to stop for tea we would have probably invaded even more.
To be fair they've invaded us almost as many times.
The Colombia situation wasn't quite as clear cut as it was made out. Technically we were invited. At the time it was called Gran Colombia and was made up of modern day Colombia, Venezuela,Panama and Ecuador, and the UK hadn't forgot the support the Spanish gave to the 13 colonies in North America. Anyway after the Napoleonic war, Simón Boliviar sent a man called Luis López Mèndez to London to find volunteers to come help Gran Colombia fight for independence from Spain. He recruited 1'200 people....mainly unemployed veterans of the Napoleonic wars and convicts. These became known as the British Legion and swelled to 6'500 members. After a number of battles, they decisively beat the Spanish at the Battle of Boyacà, which effectively ended Spanish rule in the region. There is a British cemetery in Bogota. Its informative having a Colombian wife.
Generic pirate accent is actually from Somerset in southern England cause alot and I mean alot of famous pirates came from there.
"The Ionian Islands ...". There's still a Cricket pitch in Corfu Town. :)
Don't think too bad of yourself I can't imagine the British know half of these themselves.
We do. We get taught it mate. It's best to learn from previous mistakes. Our school is dedicated to a colonist yet they teach about the atrocities committed by the colonist and thee empire.
I do not think they mentioned places like the Falkland islands or the British Antarctic territory but good video mate.... 🇬🇧.🇺🇸👍
Probably 99% Viking with that beard haha
I enjoyed your reaction and hearing about your family history and the countries you've been in :)
you know how it is with invading countries.. once you start you just cant stop.
"Just one more, pleeaasse.."
"Oh, ok, but stop when it gets dark"
After all the invasions we had to deal with, we had the experience to do what we did.
U guys had it out for the Spanish well they did send 100 ships to try and invade us
and God himself dashed them to the rocks
Yeah the Spanish armada loool boy did we kill em!
We are a small but mighty island. One which no country (no matter how big you are, your military size) should ever under estimate. We have the grit and determination that others can only attempt to imitate.
The British invasion of Denmark was basically just a short siege with a full scale rocket bombardment until we surrendered all our navy ships and immediately planted thousands of oak trees to build replacement ships. A very few years ago, the trees were finally big enough, but the navy had already upgraded to steel ships with their own rocket launchers and a few of those navy oaks were instead used for historical reconstructions.
Not entirely fair. The invasion of Ethiopia during WW2 was with the full consent of the people of Ethiopia who saw it as a liberation from the Italians.
The pirates stereotype voice is actually a bristol accent. I believe it's because of one particular actor who did radio plays back in the day. Great videos dude
Pirates are portrayed to have a West Country accent, Places like Devon, Cornwall, Bristol etc
Hi l live in the City of Bristol in the UK you are talking about. The city has existed for about 800 years as a port. The book Treasure Island was written in here and was famous for Pirates. So you have Pirate Genes in your dna.
On the pirate thing, some pirates had a government license, making them technically privateers of the royal navy. The US copied this method by putting it in their constitution as something Congress can do ("letters of marquee")
oh the audio levels..
Awesome vid pal ,Andy from Morecambe England northwest ✌✌🏴🇺🇲🙌
Yes the Dutch and the English were (and still are) huge rivals. Look up the East India Trading company, it'll give you an idea as to why they were.
During WW2 and the "peaceful" invasion of Iceland, there was a British plan to do the same to Norway and Sweden but the Germans invaded Norway first so the troops were diverted to help defend instead.
If Iceland had fallen to Germany, that would have been an ideal location to support their U-boat fleet instead of having to risk returning to ports held by the Germans in Europe. A considerable number of U-boats were lost trying to make that run back to base. When you consider there was a period of time German soldiers on the eastern front during winter had higher life expectancy than U-boat crew as average life expectancy for U-boat crew was as low as 60 days, if Germany had invaded and secured Iceland for u-boats, things could have been far worse for the merchantmen who were already being terrorised.
Don’t feel bad Americans have invaded every country with McDonald’s
Glad to hear your an ex military.
They always make the best reaction vids 👍👍
Britain, Biggest exporter of Independence days.
We wanted to steal the sun from every place that actually has it, we still haven’t completed our mission
As a Brit I can only say - If you've got it, flaunt it. When we were out conquering we left 3 Tommies at home to defend the islands. Now go and watch Eddie Izzard "do you have a flag"?
Enok please balance your microphone volume and the video volume more because on a couple of your reactions it's either your at normal volume and the video is far too quiet or if you turn it up to hear the video then you become far too loud.
That being said I'm enjoying your videos and would be interested to see your reactions to videos such as "brutal rugby knockouts and concussions"
Agree
Your DNA is what I was hoping to find in mine, a mish mash of many. Instead I found I’m Roman, Viking, Anglo Saxon and Celtic.
Which basically means different branches of my family arrived in Britain through these invasions during their respective periods, starting roughly 2000 years ago and stayed here and bred here ever since. Those four groups basically morphed into modern day British DNA, so I’m basically 88% Anglo Saxon and Celtic, 6% Roman 6% Viking. But I also realised nowhere else especially not another island had Roman and Viking settlers, and that was a revelation as I realised that’s why we invaded everyone and why the British empire was/is considered so evil.
Even the Normandy Invasion of 1066 wasn’t the French William the Conqueror and his people were all grandchildren of the last Vikings who left Norway and were gifted the Kingdom of Normandy by the French king, technically it was a Viking invasion not a French invasion..
'I did not know that' As a Brit halfway through this was my quote 'I did not know that either!!!! Don't think our history lessons were that long. I love these reaction videos this is like a school class we get to learn about each other. Best of health from across the pond.
I enjoyed this and have to add this. I don't know how well you know your history but I was happy to see that African blood, especially the west African blood in your DNA and wonder if you know what that means? Slavery was illegal in the UK from 1186 but laws were ammended and changed later so here is an extract from a bit of history. "In 1807 Slavery in Britain was formally abolished by Parliament (although in 1770 a court case established that slavery in Britain was an abomination, every slave became free and any slave touching British soil became free even if they were on foreign vessels) and a naval squadron sent on anti-slavery patrols off the coast of Africa. Between 1808 and 1860 the West Africa Squadron captured 1,600 slave ships and freed 150,000 Africans."
Many of those freed Africans chose to join the Royal navy and serve the UK, became British citizens and returned to the UK where they often had families. Many British citizens are descended from those freed west African slaves and have that west African blood, like you.
You are quite probably descended from someone freed from slavery by the Royal Navy.
It's the viking genes that the vikings left from their conquests and settlements in Great Britain and South West France from 800-1000AD. ;)
Ah yes, the War of 1812, when we British were taking back sailors who ran away from military service by claiming they were really Americans, and the Americans decided to hit back by striking at Canada, so we went and burned down the White House and told you to never attack us again.
As an ex military man you might want to have a gander at Jack Churchill’s escapades, he taught Rambo a few things but not how to play the pipes, or use a sword, my apologies if you think it’s a waste of time or you already have.
Yeah the Netherlands were our rivals over global conquests, funnily enough tea plays a part way earlier than Boston.
Firstly thanks foryour service secondly ALWAYS ASK questions questions do not make you look dumb please keep asking questions its how you learn 😀
Never stop asking questions.
my grandpa was one of the first officers to enter italy with the artillary. he tore down a nazi flag we gave it to the war museum and they burnt it .
The Brits went around the world conquering other countries and the Irish followed this up with opening bars everywhere.
Pirate accent is a cornwall/devon accent (english)
When we left Iceland... Americans moved in to officially "carry out training duties". Actually it was a sneaky move by Rooseveldt to support Britain against Germany while officially being neutral.
Saying Bristol is the Westside of Liverpool is like saying Florida is the east side of New York 😂 nothing but love bro .
it was me naming a third location, not a location within Liverpool, I jus edited out the hmmm and space between the two diff locations lmao
I’ve tried saying this to plenty of people but they didn’t believe me. Britain basically owned half the world. Pretty bad ass 🇬🇧💪
A force to be wary of. We may be small but we did it once we could do it again.🇬🇧🇹🇻🇹🇨🇸🇭🇬🇸🇳🇺🇳🇿🇲🇸🇫🇯🇫🇰🇨🇰🇺🇸🇻🇬🇧🇲🇮🇴🇰🇾🇦🇺 I’ve probably left out a few flags.
Great video 👍
It's because the Kings of England were originally French regional kings, so they wanted their old homeland back.
Lets see, my knowledge as a Brit of the U.S. 1812 war is this. The Americans declared war because the Brits kept harrassing American ships and 'press ganging' sailors from them. The Americans attacked Canada, the British set fire to the White House. The famous Star Spangled banner that flew at Fort McHenry (Balltimore) where the Brits fired cannonballs and missiles at, had 15 stars AND 15 stripes for each U.S. state. And, the lyrics to the star spangled banner anthem was written by an American poet whilst on a Brit warship at the battle. The song called 'The Battle of New Orleans' (Andrew Jackson) is an amusing song about shooting Brits and sending them back to the gulf of Mexico. There is of course much more.
Pirates tend to have a Cornish accent in movies, basically just because of one actor in the early days of film who played an actor
What?
an actor played an actor
Fyi, pirates in the movie tend to have a West Country accent (in particular Cornish as they have a long long history of smuggling and piracy)
Most people in the South of England spoke with that dialect or something very close. It has mainly disappeared apart from the West Country.
@@forthfarean That's not entirely true, most people in the South/Southeast had a distinctly different accent from the South West, you can tell if you put rural Essex man or Norfolk man next to a Devonian or Cornishman, completely different... But you are right in that the country dialect is disappearing quickly, which is a real shame imo
@@roderickwillis2516 That is true to some extent. But I have heard a rural Kentish accent when I was very much younger and it had very similar vowel sounds to the West country as did Surrey, Sussex, Berkshire, Dorset. There were many dialect words. It is basically the dialect of the West Saxons. Suffolk and Norfolk dialects are very different and Essex. But so many Londoners have moved into these counties that the old dialect is almost non-existent, as it is in the South East and West. It is a great shame. These dialects are charming, especially when spoken by a woman.
There’s some great information and pieces from pirate history at The Greenwich Maritime Museum in London 👌🏼
One of the things overlooked is how most of these countries actually benefited by us being there and leaving our influence there. oh and we were conquered and enslaved by vikings Romans Norman's. Thats how we learnt .
It wasn't England that invaded all these countries, it was Britain and the British Empire.
