This is the entire history of Britain in a nutshell. From Anglo Saxons, Vikings, conquests, tea, the British empire, and current events
Follow US: / vc3production
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

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 UKposts community would speak a different language to English- Probably Chinese or Spanish.

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.

Everything about it is interesting from its parliament and the debates they have in it, their accent, their football league, the culture, the castles and so on. Will never get board of learning about this country's history. Sometimes I really wish I was born as an Engliah man instead of where I was born.

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.

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.

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.

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.
@zzzleepyhead9101

Thank you for your video! You pack a lot in, in just 20 minutes! I love the way you run the dates in the top corner. Very helpful. As an American, I'd like to make one correction to your script. Most of the original settlers of the British colonies were leaving England in search of religious freedom, not to spread their faith as missionaries to the New World. The Puritans and Catholics did not have freedom and had to leave in order to practice freely. The colony of Maryland was founded by Lord Baltimore, who had to step down from Parliament because he was Catholic. You are right, though, that later colonists came to seek wealth and land, after the first waves survived and showed promise. Thanks again!

@@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.

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.

Pretty good, as a portuguese,I saw you forgot to mention events like Anglo-Portuguese alliance, being the very oldest alliance in the world still in place. India was not completely under British rule, there were regions controlled by the portuguese such as Daman, Goa and Diu. In the moments before WWI you forgot the British ultimatum to the anglo-portuguese alliance due to the need of the Brits to connect their colonies in Africa, thus not being posible with the portuguese unification of borders of Angola and Mozambique. In WWI, Brits wanted the help of portuguese, evoking the alliance, resulting in the entrance of Portugal in WWI, that was very fruitful to Brits but not so to portuguese, which had a great loss of men and increased tension inside Portugal, resulting in the fall of monarchy and the institution of the republic. Overall, your video is very very good, but I was expecting to see more facts regarding the anglo-portuguese alliance, which was and still is an alliance which bonds the two nations very deeply, and had a major role in the course of history of both nations. From Portugal, Cumprimentos. :)

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....
