You need to watch "The British Crusade against Slavery", There are videos available on RUclips, this will also give you a history of slavery that you seem totally unaware of. Slavery has NOT been around for 300 years! It has been around for thousands!
The hundred years war between England & France actually went on for 116 years. It wasn't continuous fighting, there were actual long periods of peace between battles.
There are lots of errors. Britain never had a monopoly on the transatlantic slave trade. Heavy taxes did not cause the American revolution. The taxes were much less than in Britain and all but one token tax on tea were abolished before the revolution. The potato famine affected much more than Ireland though it was worst there. The British government did not force Ireland to export food, though people were free to do so if the chose. The industrial revolution started in the 18th century. Alan Turing was just one of several who contributed to breaking Enigma codes. The Poles broke it first and shared there method, though it stopped working after the Germans changed their procedures. The British including Turing devised methods to continue to break it.
It has been discovered that part of Stonehenge was actually brought down to the west country from Scotland. That's a fair old distance. It's about 12 hours just by train from Edinburgh to Salisbury. Let alone on foot, dragging a rock!
Glaciers dragged them over thousands of years during the ice age. That is why they are so smooth. What the BBC said the other day was B/S. LOOK IT UP MATE
Very true, although correct in what was said it wasn't really the entire truth as it makes certain parts of history more important than the bigger picture...
Great reaction guys, but it sounds like you have your mics under a pillow, It's very muffled & I can't hear a word you're saying. Maybe take some bass off & add some treble. Much love from sunny England.
The Arab and East African slave trade had a profound impact on the history of Africa. The Arab slave trade officially started in 652 CE, and eventually spread throughout the Mediterranean, and Africa. Arab trade in African slaves eventually included the continents of Africa, Europe and Asia.Yet the arab slave trade, a major component of african history, lasted more than 13 centuries.The fishermen and coastal dwellers of 17th-century Britain lived in terror of being kidnapped by pirates and sold into slavery in North Africa. Hundreds of thousands across Europe met wretched deaths on the Barbary Coast in this way.
The history of Britain in 20 minutes …….. insane. If you are really interested in British history, I can recommend Winston Churchill’s history of the English speaking People.
My family history on my fathers side goes back to the Picts of Scotland. They emigrated to Ireland and settled in Kilkenny. Several generations later my grandfather moved to Dublin and my father emigrated to England. My mothers side came from Germany at her great grandmothers level but her father was from Dublin. I have dual nationality as English/Irish but my ancestry is Pictish/Germanic.
I'm a first generation Canadian ( my Mom was from Scotland ) There's some serious errors here or misinformation. It's hard to get nuisances in 20 minutes , everyone pretty much had slaves at some period in history and is as old as humanity itself. No one culture is to blame. Let's be honest , humanity is it's own worst enemy. I'm still waiting for us to get our collective heads out of our ass's and smarten up and learn from history. Britain ended slavery as well. So yes, we ARE capable of great good as well as great evil.
It's wasn't a "famine" in Ireland. It was a genocide. There was plenty of other food to supplement the bad potato crops. But the English shipped it to England
History over a century or a few is barely history and usually a limited perspective - we need to know world history not just our own if we want to actually *know* history and not just recent. Recent in terms of civilization, not independence. History in a vacuum is bad for making us think they know something more specific than we do.. Correction to the OP: 'the Jutes disappeared from History' - wtf?? Danish mainland is Jutland (land of the Jutes) and Denmark wasn't formed until many hundreds of years after the Romans left Britain. They lost too many soldiers trying to get up here, even though they could walk here - ze Germanic tribes went postal on them.. Mainland Danes still refer to ourselves as 'Jyder' (effectively modern Danish for Jutes..). They were also still in Kent when the Vikings came, again, many hundreds of years after the Anglo-Saxon -invasion- migration. British people just started referring to all the different peoples from what would become Denmark, as Northmen or Danes. Norway, southern Sweden and modern Denmark were all 'part of Denmark' to begin with (from when the name Denmark was used..). There were still Jutes, the majority of the Danes were and still are. The English just called them something else for convenience - like saying British for all the different peoples living within the British Isles, instead of Celtic or Pict, Scots, Welsh or Irish or for the African perspective - Bantu instead of specifying Nguni, Tsonga or Xhosa etc. We won't even start on 'Chinese' - for a nation with over 50 ethnic groups, many of which still refer to and see themselves as Zhuang, Uyghur, Manchus or whichever they fall under.

You will apologise to and praise the British when you learn about slavery and what Britain gave Africa.😅😘
The history in this video is questionable at best. There were several mistakes and omissions which amount to mistakes.

I am so humble you are prepared to learn very glad your learning
Elizabeth the first 1558 to 1603 (of England)
Elizabeth the second 1952 to 2022 (of the UK)
No Elizabeth the 2nd was only the 2nd of England she’s the 1st in Scotland. The same way James the 1st of England and GB is James the 6th of Scotland.
Elizabeth the One and a Half 1602 to 1952.

The Vikings and Normans both enslaved 10% of the English population following their invasions, so no, Africa does not have a monopoly on this
There was no mention of us stamping out slavery ?

The history in this video is extremely questionable. Had to stop watching my history teacher would be turning in his grave.
i cannot understand a word you mate is saying
Him speaking over the video too ruins the whole thing.
There's better vids with more factual correct history. There's a few mistakes in this vid
What we have given to the world is the English language
Gee, thanks.
We have given the world much more than just our language! 🏴🇬🇧
