Very well done ladies and I knew you would get it. 😊
Congratulations 🎉💕from🏴
Congratulations 🎊🎉🎈🍹
A few years ago. Japanese scientists did some research into what the British invented. They came up with this conclusion. We invented around 70% of the modern world. Not bad for a small nation. Oh may I also add one that spent 150 years fighting slavery, controlled 25% of the world's land mass as well as its population, patrolled the seas fighting pirates, and keeping the sea lanes open and free for world shipping most of the maritime laws were our doing. This list goes on. And yes, we did some bad things, but overall, we did a lot of good. Well done Britain and the British people.
They started the transatlantic slave trade. And if it hadn't been for a few militant reformers, it would have continued. Then, having abolished it, they wanted the world to give them credit for that. Breathtaking hypocrisy!
And now you've lost it all and are swiftly turning into a Third World Nation.
Just like America.
Thanks, Tories!
Thanks GOP!
I thought it was around 80% of the modern world
🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤❤
Don’t understand estimate the rule of law. Yes they ruled a large part of the world but they also educated them and brought legal frameworks along with railways. This allowed these nations to develop their own economies
To all those people claiming that we owe reparations. OK. then you owe us for all the inventions, trade marks and royalties.
Nonsense. Germany had to pay, and today people still try to extract money out of Germany. Why would the world owe Germany monetary compensation for having invented 80% of the modern life? Germany made good money and good wealth monetarising its huge advantage in education, science and engineering.
Don't be silly Brit.
🎯👍
@@bobbwc7011 .. You need a few history lessons.
If we take all the money we spent fighting slavery, especially by Arabs, then we are owed money 🇬🇧
@@bobbwc7011Pay for causing a world war leading to the deaths of millions, as well as the destruction of many nations. Further, while west Germany was showered with money by the Americans post 1945, (in order to shore up that part of Germany, keeping it out of the clutches of the Soviet Union), Britain was left with a huge war debt. One we only finished paying off fairly recently. So no, there is no connection between German compensation for causing the 2nd WW war and colonialism. But good try.
As a Brit I get increasingly angry when people insult my country by bringing up our colonialist past and never once recognise all the incredible things that Britain has given the world. This list is mind blowing but what it doesn’t cover, are things like music, film and comedy - 3 other amazing gifts to the world from the UK!
Maybe you need to spend time actually listening to what you did to indigenous populations. Getting angry means you have chosen to close your ears. You cannot deny that part of your history, especially when you learn that much of the leisure to create great art music and architecture came off the back of that colonisation and raping of great lands.
@@triarb5790what about the Turkish Africans asians they did it too. No country is innocent. Stop being so naive
The name of the game back in the day was to colonise as many countries as possible, we were just very good at it 😅😅😅 @triarb5790
You'll not get much sympathy here. 😅You're not perfect, nor are 350 million people in the states you have been criticizing for ages, as all one, long before our current mess. It comes across as a national sickness from your country. 🙄
Criticizing or judging the entire USA as one, because you want us to change to be British is an odd national hobby.
Take a number when it comes to being criticized. Every country takes a hit. To think you're exceptional in that area, makes it difficult to take you seriously. Come down to reality.
What is that saying you're fond of, "stiff upper lip". If you're going to dish it out, you better learn to take it. Whomever it's coming from.
@@BossTweed69
Shagging your way about the planet, call it what it was. Colonization is just a fancy word to hide behind.
The British have made everybody's life easier, thank you!
The United Kingdom. We maybe be small but we are MIGHTY! Proud to be British 🏴
If you are proud to be British the please use the British flag or the Union Jack not the cross of St George it will only upset our friends and relatives who are from Northern Ireland, wales and Scotland and remember just Edinburgh alone produced so many inventions during the enlightenment as for England you could break that down to the north of the country during the Industrial Revolution,
people back in the day were made different. I am glad to be from England but the previous generations are hard acts to follow. I am also glad I am not in those peoples shoes dealing with world wars and stuff.
🏴❤️🇬🇧
It's still acceptable to be proud of all the stuff we invented though... even if we had no input into that specific thing it still came from our country. Its just national pride I guess..
Amongst many other things, Britain invented the police and fire services and the postal service. It has produced the world's best-selling authors - Shakespeare and J K Rowling along with most of the world's best-selling and most influential bands - The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Queen. It has also invented virtually every major sport - football/soccer, tennis, cricket, golf, rugby, baseball, table tennis, hockey, badminton and squash.
Like the old gag. British person enquiring about emigrating to Australia.
Official: "Do you have a criminal record?"
Brit: "I didn't know you still had to have one!"
😂 Made me laugh!
Top Notch !! 😄😄
😂
Apparently a friend of my dad's actually said this at immigration, thinking they'd laugh.
They didn't laugh.
FFS 😂😂😂
As someone who works in UK universities I wish everyone else would value their contemporary and historical contribution to global science more. They are often being put down by government and the media - as elitist, parochial etc - but they’ve contributed so much to the world too. So many inventions built on the contributions of academics like Newton, Fleming, Darwin etc.
American here. I've never understood why many Brits will quickly speak so harshly about their fellow citizens. It's quite a shocker to hear some of the most sharp edged criticism about one another.
Our media can be brutal for sure, I'm just stunned how quickly the sharp incisors come out about your own fellow citizens. Plus, it's spoken on TV and RUclips with a ghoulish smile. Men and women.
No one belongs on a pedestal because they have generational money or boarding school traditions, however, anyone that has created or invented something, especially if it betters society, should not be dismissed if they had a certain address, or education. I ignore class status, it's proven harmful to your country, in that people can think they have zero chance in improving their lives.
The problem is we invent loads of things but the government doesn’t back them, and rather than taking advantage of building and producing in the UK we have to sell our inventions off to foreign governments.
UK universities are now people trafficking filth peddling largely worthless degrees for profit sadly.
@@anitapeludat256 You can't tell me that America doesn't have a class system, just look at the different treatment the very rich get, it's just not called class---but it's there. Snobbery is rife in the USA too, I know I lived there for many years. I'm not being insulting or putting down your country--but that's what my experience was.
@@Lynda-vq5yl
Because class and how much money you have in Britain tends to be a separate thing. You can be born dirt poor, work hard and earn millions, and still be treated like you are a single mum of ten kids from different baby daddies living off benefits in a council estate.
Unless you change everything about what makes you, well, *you* , then you can never rise nor lower what class you are in. Because it's not just how much money you have, but a social construct as well. It depends on where you were born, how you were born, what your accent is like, and what area you live and where you went to school. Both snobbery and reverse-snobbery is rife in England - has been for hundreds of years.
America doesn't have the same *mindset* about class. It doesn't matter where you were born or what you sound or look like, you can rise through the classes both monetarily *and* socially. Because it isn't as wormed into their mindsets that your accent or how you were born directly correlates to those things - it isn't an assumption that they make. The snobbery you seem to be on about is based on how much money that person has *in the moment* , not class snobbery as a whole.
With hard work, the mindset of America is that you can be anything, while Britain is (as a large) pessimistic to a fault.
For example, common phrases for British people are "don't count your eggs before they hatch" and "anything that can go wrong, will go wrong". While common phrases for Americans are "plenty of fish in the sea" and "Go for broke".
It's the same way with class.
There is class in every country, but how class is viewed largely differs.
We were and still are a very intelligent and innovative nation 🇬🇧
IVF was a british discovery. The first procedure was done at a place 10 mins from my house, and Louise Brown, the first IVF baby, was born in the same hospital as me.
My grandmother was a nurse at Boundary Park and was involved in the after-care of the first 'test-tube' baby, Louise Brown.
You must live near me,I went too north chadderton school,class of 89
Penicillin was discovered by a Scot
That’s cool. I didn’t know that. Thanks
Louise Brown was the first person born using ivf in 1978 in Bristol. This was thanks to Professors Steptoe & and Patrick, not Robert Winston, as another comment suggested.
Woop woop, proud to be British. We may be small, but made a big impact in the world 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
The inventions and discoveries meant that we created a huge market economy for resources that our own Island could not satisfy. It fuelled the worldwide trade and protecting it created the empire. Much of the modern day world will fashionably say we stole those resources without appreciating we were the only buyer in town for much of it and paid for them in the same way that international trade does today with goods and investments in return but without internal tariffs.
Absolutely ❤
Too true
The fact that an Aussie is singing our praises, in itself, is a miracle! Thanks sir and to the world "You're welcome!".
@@lb659 You try telling an Australian they're really a Brit - see where it gets you!
England sent all the Chads that couldn't be tamed to Australia and many adventurous alpha stock went with them. They are descended from prime Chad DNA. Just look at them.
@@lb659 A REAL Australian has ancestry going back at least 60,000 years on the land.
Australians come from every part of the globe. We are the most multicultural place on Earth. My friends come from every continent except Antartica ( two of them have worked there though with most of Antartica under Australian protection not American or British) . The only ( EX) Pom I know is myself and I left miserable, whingey Blighty 36 years ago and would never ever live there again.
Australia became an independent country in 1901 by the way so there is noone alive today who was born in Australia as a British citizen.
@@lb659d the rest of us were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time
Always proud to be British . We are built different. 🇬🇧
This video should be shown to everyone from school children to adults, as I’m sure a lot of Brits don’t realise what trailblazers our ancestors were. Thanks girls for showing this, as we get a lot of negativity with people criticising this country, particularly at the moment. It’s the best country in the world.
I think it was ... and it could be!
" It’s the best country in the world." not anymore, it has enabled those it welcomed to move here to have an advantage over its indiginous citizens. Even the Police are biased with their two-tier political policing seeing the intollerant Islamic groups taking control and them getting away with protesting genocide waving their Jihadhi flags whilst a British citizen carrying a St Georges flag is immediately moved on or arrested. If it doesn't sort itself out, Islam will control the UK within around 30 years and then lets see how the minority becomes the majority and Sharia law rules.
Another scientific discovery here in Britain was IVF, the two scientists responsible for its development were called Edwards and Steptoe, and the first baby born using the process was born in July 1978. Apparently there have been 8 million babies born via IVF!
Louise Brown was born in Oldham in the same hospital as me. I was delivered by Steptoe. My one claim to fame.
@@paulwild3676, same, Steptoe was the doctor looking after my mum whilst pregnant with me but it was Bradford Royal
@@johnleonard9090 I was born in 1963, at Boundary Park hospital, now the Royal Oldham. I was a big baby and my Mother was 42. Steptoe specialised in older Mothers. There is a programme with Bill Nighy as Steptoe and James Norton as Edwards being filmed now. We both have a claim to fame.
@@paulwild3676 My nan worked with Steptoe and helped deliver Louise Brown
My grandmother was a nurse at Boundary Park and was involved in the after-care of the first 'test-tube' baby, Louise Brown.
Scientific achievements aside, Don't forget that the world has Britain to thank for possibly the two most important concepts in social history...
First: Democracy (and Human Rights,) with Magna Carta, drafted in 1215 - recognising and enforcing (In England at least, to begin with) the concept that everyone has rights, not just those who rule. Just about all democracies today have their basis in Magna Carta.
Second: The decline of slavery. Britain stood almost alone in abolishing the slave trade in 1807, but rather than just leave it there, they then became the only power to enforce the abolition, treating all slave traders as pirates and enforcing then, what is now 'globally' accepted law.
Ooh, Magna Carta (Did she die in vain? 😢)
Er, sorry.
But it's worth a show of its own.
The history is fascinating.
And it's full of information on the society in its own right.
And then there's
40. To none shall we sell, delay or deny right or justice.
And then there's 50 which confirms the sacking of a number of notoriously corrupt officers of the Crown.
Including one Philip Marc (Mark) who was...
Sherriff of Nottingham.
Cool.
Democracy originates from Greece in. The fifth century bc
Tony Hancock - Another Great British institution. :-D
n 1080, William the Conqueror banned the sale of slaves to non-Christians. In 1102, the ecclesiastical Council of London banned the slave trade within England, decreeing “Let no one dare hereafter to engage in the infamous business … of selling men like animals.”
So why are we struggling to hold onto our history
Things aren't great in the UK at the moment, you guys just made me feel so much better! Thank you! 😀
We have each other! We are British ❤
The other countries don’t tend to broadcast theirs as much… 😱
Soooo glad to be British. If anyone 'disses' us, which seems to be the latest trend, I humbly suggest get an education!
American here, We don't routinely bash Britain, the states have been bashed for generations, globally. It's not fun and so very predictable and isn't in anyway helpful. Of course, we're not perfect, by far for sure My apologies for the current C.F. however. Fighting the insanity I never voted for, all the way.
There is no reason to bash you. I'm quite compassionate when a country is having problems. I hate that many small businesses, like fishermen, for example, are losing their businesses and were lied to by the govt. about Brexit. Now they say they won't vote again, which is sad, understandable, but sad. However, they must not give up on voting. That happens in the states and it's a big problem. ☮️💙🇺🇸🇬🇧
It's envy.
You voted for Brexit. I just leave it there.
@willswomble7274. I am not British but in the Commonwealth and I am extremely grateful for that and all that you have contributed to the world including English gardens and the reverence for dogs. Now you just need to fight to get your country back from you know which stone age religion from Arabia. Good luck!
@@apistodiscusAnd we'll be tearing the corrupt ECHR up and deporting millions of illegal immigrants soon. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He forgot supersonic Concorde, a massive achievement done by virtually no one else. 100 passengers at over Mach 2! You guys will be remembered for going to the moon which is also a huge achievement.
We share that with the French, who added more than the (originally) contentious 'e' on the end of its name!
@@BillDavies-ej6yeBritish invention jet engine so we can take credit plus it was rolls Royce which is also British
@@LonzieSeal-lc4wm In fact, Frank Whittle invented the jet engine, and started the patent process in 1930. He had his own firm, Power Jets Ltd. In 1940, he approached Rolls-Royce to improve aspects of the engine, as they had experience in designing high performance superchargers.
To the moon ????
The USSR tried to copy Concorde with the Tupolev TU-144. Unfortunately it came apart in mid-air at the Paris air show, killing all on board.
I maintain that Britain is not a place, it's a state of mind. It means tolerance, courage, self-reliance, compassion, many other associated characteristics as well; it's the secret of our success.. That's why we're happy for anyone to come here - SO LONG as they have that outlook. Unfortunately we are currently being destroyed by people who do not share those values - & it's being promulgated by those in power. It's just so sad.
It used to.
The British people who hate Britain for our past are the worst though. They forget we learnt why our past did by those that invaded us 1st. Up until Ceaser invaded us we traded with Europe it was European's that informed Rome of our existence then they raided inslaved us made us fight in the coliseums then the Saxons & Vikings did similar things to us.
Yeah buddy, it's not magic dirt. It's the people that make the culture. You can't put a million Pakistanis or whatever into Britain and think they're going to change.
Small amounts of immigration where the newcomers marry in, or assimilate completely is the only way to become British.
This works for every ethnic group, everywhere.
Yes, it is a "racist" truth.
@diogenesagogo
Great comment. I am definitely a multiculturalist and love Britain for what it is, and the state of mind you refer to. You are correct, that what is happening now (the lack of tolerance of conservative ideas, emergence of fake liberals, and corruption of information) is a concerning thing but hopefully sense will prevail.
We need to turn down the noise and start listening to each other more. We should all want the same thing. If you don’t and want to enjoy best of all worlds….not treat others as you would like to be treated then Britain is not the place for you.
Tolerance? When have the English been known for tolerance,?
I'm referring to around 15 years ago and further into history. You're not even tolerant of your fellow citizens, or the
monarchy, before razor sharp teeth with a tight lipped smile and a horse faced cackle from some women on the TV, aren't exactly signs of tolerance, some men just grunt.
You folks are considered a nation of complainers, even by your own people. And around the globe. Perpetually Cranky.
How do you not know this.? It can't possibly be everyone.
That feeling when you just watched American ladies at minute 9 showing off that America invented RUclips and Netflix, then await the realisation that a Brit called Tim Berners-Lee invented the Internet.
Not the internet, exactly. That was a development of the American military DARPANET, a way of maintaining essential communications in the event of nuclear war. What Sir Tim Berners-Lee created was what became the World Wide Web, which rides on the internet. He worked at CERN and was frustrated that all the different countries’ scientists had their own network with no connection to each other. He brought them all into one, so they could share data much more easily. Credit must also go to Vint Cerf & Bob Kahn (Americans?) for the development of TCP/IP (the basis of the Internet) and Paul Baran (American) & Donald Davies (British) who each, independently, came up with the idea of Packet Switching (a way of breaking up data into small packets that find their own way across a network, to be reassembled at destination, after verification).
The WWW to be correct!
My brain was like “One word, America. British” as if they could here me😂😅
Don't forget that it was Australia that creates wi-fi.
And the computer.
Shame he missed out Plastic Surgery - began by Sir Harold Gillies in 1917 during WW1 - he began this as a result due to the amount of facial injuries he was seeing as a surgeon at the time . . . And I was so pleased to see someone finally adding "Cats Eyes" (Percy Shaw) to the inventions list on YT, too. As what an amazing sight it is on a motorway at night to see a line of lights on either side ahead of you to keep you in lane it when you are not able to see the usual white lines . . .

In 1983 I lost my Dad to heart failure, he was 55 I was 16, when he was t work on early shifts ( 5am ) he would make my Mum cup tea. Whilst i was waiting to join the military in 85 I took a part time job and bought my Mum a teas made so she could have cup of tea in the morning
Good man
👍👍👍
Wow. That almost mirrors my dad. He died of a heart attack aged 56 in May 1983. He loved his tea. I was 15 at the time. I was doing well with good future prospect. His death made me give up back then. So I stupidly stole some cars and got youth detention centre. I'm 56 myself now.
A uni in Japan worked out 40% of all the inventions in the world, have been invented by people in the UK.
thats a lot
40 years ago I was told it was 60% of all modern inventions.
Recently I read it was 49%
It's more than that !
Bullshit!
We halted slavery as well, created safe shipping routes so that all countries could trade without hindrance from pirates. Along with many other inventions, proud to be British

21:15 Thank you for recognising our contribution of the word "wanker". A true British person is a master of swearing, considering it something of an art. Most Brits are thoughtful, intelligent people and are perfectly capable of using all of our beautiful swear words - harshly or poetically - in ways that enhance conversation rather than detract from it. They can also judge exactly when and where to throw in the perfect swear word during a conversation, taking into account flow, context, companions, timing, body language, facial expression, mutual relationships etc.
As my kids have grown up I've gradually guided and nurtured their ability to swear the same way I've taught them how to use salt whilst they are cooking: sparingly and only when you really need it.
😄
Well done on the 100k , and Thank you to all the Awesome Brits and inventions .
Next time you hear that it's always raining in the UK be grateful for it. Instead of spending time at the beach and getting a tan - they were keeping out of the rain by pottering in their garden sheds. It was the weather that allowed everything to be invented. 😀😀
I always say that this is the german's reason as well
Haha, my dad always said if the UK was further south on the globe we'd have been having a siesta every afternoon due to the sun so I think there might be something in it. I also think the weather meant we had so many good authors and poets - they stayed indoors.
Water power was vital in the beginning of the industrial revolution and the wet climate for agriculture, we have a lot to thank rain for.
@@snowflakemelter1172 Including the Mackintosh coat and Wellington boots! 🙂
The weather makes work for idle hands...
For such a small group of islands in the North Atlantic to have so much influence, creativity and intellect is simply staggering...
We also gave the world English, a language even our American friends can speak with a reasonable degree of skill. English is the international language. It's the one all pilots and air traffic controllers have to know.
Then there's literature. Shakespeare, the Brontes, Austin, Dickens, Potter, Conan-Doyle, Christie, Tolkien, Fleming, Dahl, Rowling, the list goes on and on.
And then there's popular music. The Americans may have invented Rock 'n Roll, but it was the British who gave the world The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Queen and Dire Straits. We did also give the world Ed Sheeran for which we can only apologise.
They also had the best justice system in the world, now sadly a shadow of it's former self with far too short sentences and triple killers released and many other killers released to kill again!
I'm not going to cover everything but here's a few more slightly quirky things:
The Plimsoll line: stops ships from being overloaded, all modern tankers, warships, cruise liners ( which all 3 were British inventions) don't sink though overloading.
The ARM chip, every mobile ( cell) phone in the world, has this chip. Without it, your smartphone wouldn't be so smart!
The apple tree shaker, an adaptation of the tractor, a clamp surrounded by small buckets, meant fruit picking could be done on an industrial scale.
The backhoe, a bucket attached to a tractor, gave rise to industry from farming, military, contruction and disaster relief. The family of John Anthony Bamford still own the company JCB and still use the same Yellow colour as the very first one!
The Martin Baker ejection seat, every modern fighter jet in the world has a Martin Baker ( or copy of) ejector seat. Saving the lives thousands of aircrew.
The retractable tape measure, we've all used one right, James Chesterman invented this very clever measuring device in 1829
And let's not forget Christopher Cockerell and his wonderful invention the hovercraft, which also led to the invention of the hover mower, which fully circles back to the worlds first lawn mower another British invention by Edwin Buddings in 1830
Also in 1830 Dr Peabody invented toothpaste!
I hope this quirky little list helps with the 70% of things, we the British invented🇬🇧

It also has aspects of a harvest festival, even though the harvest in New England occurs well before the late-November date on which the modern Thanksgiving holiday is celebrated.[1][2]
In the English tradition, days of thanksgiving and special thanksgiving religious services became important during the English Reformation in the reign of Henry VIII.[3] Before 1536 there were 95 Church holidays, plus 52 Sundays, when people were required to attend church and forego work. Though the 1536 reforms in the Church of England reduced the number of holidays in the liturgical calendar to 27, the Puritan party in the Anglican Church wished to eliminate all Church holidays apart from the weekly Lord's Day, including the evangelical feasts of Christmas and Easter (cf. Puritan Sabbatarianism).[3] The holidays were to be replaced by specially called Days of Fasting and Days of Thanksgiving, in response to events that the Puritans viewed as acts of special providence. Unexpected disasters or threats of judgement from on high called for Days of Fasting.[4][3]
Special blessings, viewed as coming from God, called for Days of Thanksgiving, which were observed through Christian church services and other gatherings.[3] For example, Days of Thanksgiving were called following the victory over the Spanish Armada in 1588 and following the deliverance of Queen Anne in 1605.[4] An unusual annual Day of Thanksgiving began in 1606 following the failure of the Gunpowder Plot in 1605 and developed into Guy Fawkes Day on November 5.[4] Days of Fasting were called on account of plagues in 1604 and 1622, drought in 1611, and floods in 1613. Annual Thanksgiving prayers were dictated by the charter of English settlers upon their safe landing in America in 1619 at Berkeley Hundred in Virginia.[5]
British contributions to Natural History, Geoscience and Bioscience, the study of prehistoric life and times, is also astonishing.
Yes, but there's been genocide, slavery and taking over/away other' people's countries. The British have a poor track record when it comes to the care of anyone's lands, or the indigenous human, or the rest of the local biomes. So, that balances and tempers, sometimes rather harshly the invention, and the need for some of them. Don't get me wrong. I am a bit of an anglophile, as well as a citizen of The Commonwealth, and I adore the best, brightest, and funniest bit of the culture and some of my ancestors were from there. I'm just saying, in most things, there is a balance of bad, good, and for quite a few, a slow hope for a slightly better, maybe a little bit more equal tomorrow...that's if there's anything left by the time we find ourselves all really equal, and hopefully not because we've had a catastrophe that we caused that knocked us back to sticks and rocks, but more, because we finally become sapient wise humans we've claimed to be for just a bit now. Me thinks we could do a wee bit better, because if we don't, there won't be anyone, or anything to have worries about equality over. Humans, not just the Brits have had a habit of all through history and before, building up complicated grouping which in our case often leads to things like civilizations. We are very good at buiding them, but not terribly good at keeping them going indefinitely. Some last longer than others, but our human nature tends to want to take down, take apart, or conquer anything that belongs to "the other", etc. oh I do go on. Not too sure where this rant came from. "Sorry. Cheers, and How'se it goin',eh?" from your friendly neighbourhood Canadian ;) :)
@@1984potionlover The balance is way too much in the criticism column these days though. I would suggest "genocide" is a wild overstatement and confidently predict that the populations of all those countries you alude to have bigger populations now than they would have had if the British hadn't gone there. Sanitation, vaccines, distribution/trade networks (rail and sea), famine codes all in the plus column. India is often used as an example of the bad, but if you look at population growth in India, you see a small acceleration in population growth from 1800 and a more significant acceleration in population start from the 1920s, and there is no doubt that merely the invention of vaccines was a huge part of that growth as mortality rates significantly declined. The East India Company made losses whenever there was a famine, so it was a huge driver to try and keep them to a minimum, hence the creation of the India Famine Codes and constant measuring of climate conditions that the British introduced and maintained and India kept using into the 1970s. This doesn't mean the British were perfect, but people seem happy to ignore the fact that famines were common before the British were there.
As a guide, under the Mughal empire the percentage population growth of India was 30% per century (0.26% growth per year). In 1820 (by which point most of India was under British rule), it started to tick upwards to 48% per century (0.39% growth per year) and from the 1920s, the growth per year was 1%. A very major uptick.

The Jet Engine was invented by Sir Frank Whittle (British RAF Officer) his first Patient was submitted in 1930 and was only done because of pressure on him from a friend to protect his invention. He started working on the idea in the late 20s extending his work on Ducted Fans (more efficient than Propellers).
He found it hard to get support and funding for his ideas so he formed his own company Power Jets to develop it.
I know the Germans made the first Jet powered flight but they used Whittle's research to do so.
Seems back then you had to be very secretive about your inventions as they were plenty frauds ready to steal your life’s work & claim it for themselves.
They did not. Hans von Ohain worked on it independently and came up with the far superior STILL USED axial compressor design. That is why the claim of the Germans to have invented the jet engine is actually quite justified.
Btw i'm an engineering scientist and laymen like you underestimate the spread of information in academia before the 1940s.
Many times, almost simultaneous inventions of the same thing did not know about the other party.
In fact, in case of Ohain, the Germans discovered Whittle's patents just as they prepared filing their own. They were like "WTF, are we second?", then they studied Whittle's descriptions and designs and quickly found: "Nah, we're good, we're getting the patent. Our stuff is way different and better."
@@bobbwc7011 Hmm. An interesting interpretation of the facts there. I'm not going to argue whether Germans used any of Whittles research or that they should be proud of their achievements, even if the aircraft were produced using slave labour, but the Heinkel engine powering the first aircraft was a centrifugal design - VERY like Whittles earlier design, and AFTER seeing his patent, *not an axial flow.* Also, centrifugal compressors are very much still used in many applications, not just aircraft engines. Whittle was well aware of axial flow compressors, but rightly decided that the metallurgy of the time was insufficiently advanced to create them reliably (as the Germans found out very quickly) Their Me262 Jumo engines had life spans measured in no more than a dozen hours in service - even doubling that with careful use made it a pretty unreliable option. The contemporary Gloster Meteor was more reliable & faster.
@@bobbwc7011t hhe axial concept was included in Whittle’s patents and work. However the metallurgical problems with rpthe blades could not be overcome, as BMW found with the dire on wing time their engines gave,
Whittle went to centrifugal compressor in the interests of flight safety THAT ENGINE,the first, STILL FLYS TO THIS DAY in a testament to his objectives of reliable power. The first reliable axial machine made possible by Wiggins’s alloys were produced by RR. in case Whittle failed RR did have a 4000hp piston engine under test for the next generation of aircraft which were never required.
@@memkiii It is not an interpretation, it is German patent law. The Germans discovered Whittle's work when the patent officer made them aware of it.
The degree of butthurtness of Brits is always amazing. Just accept the engineering facts that someone else was as clever or more clever. The reason why the motors of the Messerschmitt 262 had a poor service life was the burdened German war economy, not the solution itself. And again, the axial compressor was the key that gave the German engineers the patent in the eyes of the strict patent officers.

But then, at 6.40 you were rudely awakened by the hissing, gurgling and spluttering of the kettle, getting louder and louder.

I am a Brit, living in the Philippines, having travelled all around the world. We have a lot to answer for but also a fair bit to be proud of.
As an Australian I agree with you. The British Empire screwed up many times. But when they got it right. It changed the world we live in....for the better.
if you look that up, i remember a talk by Mary Beard, many things from this list are highly disputable as Roman. This area was settled for a very, very, VERY long time before the Romans. And most of what Rome did was invented by the Greeks, Egypt, Babylon and others.
It's a fun scene, but it's histroically wrong. As for the British empire, i would strongly suggest looking for a source that is not British, to get some level of historical accuracy and moral skepticism.

Americans are usually most surprised that that thing they think of as so very American, the apple pie, was a British desert from long before there was a USA.
Macaroni cheese too.. First recipe from the kitchen of King John.
@@lat1419 You are mistaken about King John. Cheese and pasta casseroles, which later developed into macaroni cheese are a 14th century invention, probably in Italy, but quickly spreading to England. Cheese and pasta casseroles were first recorded in the 14th century in the Italian cookbook Liber de Coquina, which was made from Parmesan cheese and pasta. A cheese and pasta casserole known as makerouns, was next recorded in the 14th-century English cookbook the Forme of Cury. This was more than a century after King John. Both Italian and English versions predate Columbus's "discovery" of America.
@@artistjoh we can argue forever on this! The original recipe was for pasta "seethed with cheese".
@@lat1419 To quote from British Food: A History:
The first mention of it my side of the Pond can be found in the 1769 classic cookbook The Experienced English Housekeeper by Elizabeth Raffauld. It says To Dress Macaroni with Parmesan Cheese:
Boil four ounces of macaroni till it be quite tender and lay it on a sieve to drain. Then put it in a tossing pan with about a gill [a quarter of a pint] of good cream, a lump of butter rolled in flour, boil it five minutes. Pour it on a plate, lay all over it parmesan cheese toasted. Send it to the table on a water plate, for it soon gets cold.
All the elements of a modern macaroni cheese: the appropriate pasta, a proto-béchamel sauce, plenty of cream and lots of cheese; perhaps surprisingly, parmesan cheese.
But we can go back even further; back to the 1390s in fact, with Britain’s earliest cookbook Forme of Cury. Pasta made from breadcrumbs (I must try it sometime) cooked in a velouté sauce (like a béchamel but made with stock instead of milk), and something called chese ruayn which was a hard cheese similar in taste to brie, resulting in something half-way between macaroni cheese and a lasagne. I wonder if there’s an extant French cheese that could fit the bill if I tried to cook this dish?
Take good broth and do in an earthen pot. Take flour of payndemayn [high quality white bread] and make thereof past[e] with water, and make therof thynne foyles as paper with a roller; drye it hard and seeth [simmer] it in broth. Take chese ruayn grated and lay it in dishes with powdour douce [a mix of warm spices such as cinnamon, cloves etc], and lay on the loseyns [the pasta sheets] isode as hole as thou myst, and above powdour and chese; and so twyce or thrice [i.e. layer it up], & serve it forth."
The 1769 recipe was the earliest record of macaroni cheese as we would recognise it today. The recipe from the 14th century while similar in that it contained pasta and cheese was clearly different enough that it is correct to call that a casserole.
What is your source for a recipe from King John? I can find no information that predates the 14th century. There is a book from Oxford University Press about the court of King John called Power and Pleasure: Court Life Under King John, 1199-1216 which has an entire chapter on food and feasting, but sadly I do not have access to that book.
The Sahara desert was invented before apple pie.

"Netflix - America", "Netflix - America" but World Wide Web - a British invention (Tim Berners-Lee). It is now recognised that the British Industrial Revolution had its roots in the 16th Century. The "alarm clock kettle" not just boils water but, actually brews tea ready for the early morning cuppa. It's called a 'teasmade'. Again in Lutterworth, the first crime solved with DNA profiling was the murder of two schoolgirls in my town, and solved in Leicestershire.
Yeah but you might watch RUclips or Netflix on your TV,.. oh wait...
Yes, that is true. The murder of two schoolgirls, Lynda Mann and Dawn Ashworth, in Lutterworth, Leicestershire, England, in 1983 was one of the first crimes to be solved using DNA profiling. The case was highly publicized and remained unsolved for several years. In 1987, a man named Colin Pitchfork was arrested and later convicted of the murders. The DNA evidence used to link Pitchfork to the crime was a significant innovation in forensic science and marked the beginning of the use of DNA profiling in criminal investigations. The case was significant, not only because of the use of DNA profiling, but also because it highlighted the importance of forensic science in solving crimes. It also led to the establishment of the Forensic Science Service in the UK, which was responsible for providing forensic science services to the police and other law enforcement agencies.

@@J2897Tutorials I know, at the time the two girls were both enrolled at the local secondary school in Lutterworth (for 14 to 18-year-old students then) called Lutterworth Grammar school (although, a grammar school in name only). My wife at the time taught at the school and combined her teaching duties with her role as head tutor of a 'pastoral division'. We lived less than 50 yards from the school at the time. Lynda and Dawn were both in my wife's 'division' for their pastoral care, and she knew both of them well. I was teaching in another large secondary school just a few miles away and one of the young male teachers from my department had to undergo DNA profiling, but Peter was fortunately cleared. The girls were abducted, raped and killed while returning home from school, walking from the school bus. Both in more or less the same place - at different times, in a local village. Pitchfork's excuse was that his wife was having a baby, and was refusing sexual intercourse. My wife attended both funerals on behalf of the school. It was a very tense, stressful and worrying time for all of us - would the killer strike again - until he was caught? That the crime made history was lost on us then, given the horror of the loss of two young lives.
