Note: Part 2 has been removed and will be remade! The date for this remake is currently undecided. Correction: Strathclyde was listed as a "Scottish kingdom." To clarify on this - Strathclyde was NOT a Scottish (in the sense of Pictish) kingdom, but was, rather, a remnant kingdom of the related Britons, much like the Welsh, which, later on in its history, was a puppet kingdom of Scotland (the kingdom of Alba) and absorbed into Scotland. When exactly this took place is not known, but it appears to have been under Scottish influence by the reign of Constantine II of Scotland. (c. 940-943).

Although I am an American, I have been studying English history for fifty years. I have read hundreds of books and enjoyed them all as I prefer to go deep into each area but this is perhaps the most concise and unbiased documentary that I have viewed about English history. Next year I will be realizing one of my dreams- to visit England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland and see all the places I’ve been reading about. Congratulations on your video. I hope people see it as the tip of the iceberg and that the real enjoyment is in learning about these people and places in depth.

Catherine did give Henry VIII a living son, but the baby lived less than two months. Obviously she did give him a living daughter, and I believe another of their four daughters was born alive but died as a baby. Catherine ultimately endured childbirth six times for Henry.

My favourite part is that, having watched the Germany, France, and Ireland documentaries (yeah kinda watched them all backwards haha), I can see the constant overlaps of these histories and many of the events you mention I am already familiar with but from another countries perspective. Can't wait for the day where you have 20 or 30 nation documentaries so I can binge watch them.

Worth noting that Boudicca's revolt was in part so successful, as the bulk of the Roman army was away fighting the Welsh Celts in Anglesey - essentially the bastion of the druids so hated by the Romans

@@qcc9062 he's right in a way though, the British empire was the world's largest empire superpower in history and one of the longest running, it also created one of the current superpowers today the United States and created many other major economies like Canada, new Zealand and Australia. Today it's definitely a shadow of its former self as the European Union is definitely the biggest player in Europe now aswell as being one of the big 4 economic and military powers, whilst britain isn't even a major player anymore, it's more a minor economic and military power along with the likes of Canada, turkey, south Korea, Brazil, India and so on, but doesn't change the fact that from the mid 18th century to after WWI, Britain was the sole military and economic superpower, it had the largest navy, best army best technology and largest production capabilities with its expansive empire, but two world wars take its toll, the reason the US became so powerful was because they made a lot of money from selling supplies during world wars, combine that with them being safe and sound from the actual war and the wars absolutely destroying Europe economically, militarily and infrastructure wise and well it's why the US is the top of the 4 major military and economic powers today, which in descending order United States China European Union Russia

Excellent film documentary. Well done. I live in Exeter, Devon. (in the South-West). It was the furtherest Roman city going towards Cornwall, and was named Isca Dumnoniorum. (The Romans, upon invasion, vanquished the native Dumnonii tribe). The Romans left Exeter in about 200 AD, but traces still remain - the city wall, and in the bath house mosaics, under the Cathedral green.
@thomasambrose25596 років тому
I too am an American who enjoys British history. I feel obliged to observe that the internet, while not a perfect vehicle for learning any subject, should be used as an entryway to study and learning, with the understanding that errors or differences of interpretation are inevitable - and healthy. This is the essence of the Humanities and Liberal Arts - to study and learn and respectfully disagree on human achievement, with a mind at once open to disagreement and alert to misinformation. It's all good fun and oversensitive criticism of minor differences of opinion or interpretation is not consistent with the spirit of the Enlightenment.

Except that nobody gives a rat's ass about Norway, other than that your country was a Nazi collaborator under Quisling, and that you have done nothing since to rectify that. Have you seen that film Dead Snow? That's Norway, except that all the real people all died in 1942. Since then, Nazi zombies.
