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.

Alot of americans think that everywhere is like london. This Couldnt be further from the truth. I live 10 miles outside of liverpool...the beatles hometown 😊. We have some breathtaking scenery and historic places that you wont forget. Oh and youll never have heard so many different accents in your life.

It is possible to expand on the importance of the Battle of Hastings in 1066. To this day, even in American law schools they teach that 1066 is considered the "oldest legal memory, " as all property in England vested in the king. That was the beginning of the English common law system that currently exists in the UK and the USA.

There is no doubt that history is much more complicated than most people can comprehend, but, nevertheless, slavery, murder, pillage, rape, and the unlawful invasion of another nation is, was, and always will be desperately wrong. The history of England/ Britain is made up ,almost exclusively, of these ,historically accurate, despicable stories. As a consequence of being born in Northern Ireland, I could have had either British or Irish citizenship. It was a no brainer, if only for the fact that the British/English are hated all over the world, for their ridiculous, "rule Brittania", mentality. God bless Ireland 🇮🇪.

1st - I enjoyed this two part series and appreciated the way in which you condensed several thousand years of history into an easy listen. 2nd - Regarding WWI, I found the book “The Sleepwalkers” by Christopher Clark to be an excellent source of material. It was not written with bias or intent to assign guilt but rather it was written as if from an outside observer viewing the complexities of many cultures with their new sense of nationalism and desire to secure the future for themselves and their progeny.

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

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.
