Awesome work dude I m a 6th generation Canadian. Now I know my country was part of the british empire from 1870 to 1930 simply by looking at your 3 min video........brilliant p.s. if you don t do this for a living you should ;-)
People talk about how the British Empire don't exist anymore, it still has some small island territories and it still technically owns Australia and Canada but that's were things get complicated
@@quagmireclub24 not at all. The Union Jack bring on the flags of most Oceania countries does not mean you own it. It’s to show how they used to be British colonies. And also owning territories does not make an empire. New Zealand, us, uk, France, Denmark, Norway and Australia has many overseas territories
Britain declared through its parliament that Canada and Australia and South Africa were independent in 1931 in the Statute of Westminster so this is patently false. This video is deceptive. Britain had largely lost control of internal politics of Australia and South Africa and Canada by World War 1. But before 1931, these countries still were controlled by Britain on matters of war and diplomacy. Their whole foreign policy was controlled by the British government. The Statue of Westminster based on the Balfour Declaration changed this. While Canada and South Africa implemented this statue immediately, Australia waiting until 1942 before approving it.
British never ruled jordan and iraq, oman and emirates liar. They defeated Britain and were independent, iraq was part of muntfiq then the Hashemite Kingdoms in iraq and jordan, were independent but allied with Britain. Palestine/israel was under levantine arabic rule, ruled from damascus, and then become independent country.

Great video! However, you might have missed Bencoolen, cos Bencoolen/Bengkulu was colonised by the British from the mid-1700s until the Anglo-Dutch treaty caused Bencoolen to be transferred to Dutch rule and Melaka/Malacca to be transferred from Dutch rule to British rule. The British also briefly took over the Dutch East Indies during the Napoleonic wars.

@@gutsjoestar7450 Size isn't related to power or influence. UK reached its pinnacle of power in the 19th century, after Napoleon's defeat in Europe and the fall of the Spanish empire, with its colonial expansion and development of industry and trade, opium wars and influence in the East. Although it didn't reach its territorial culmination until the 20th century, it was more "golden" in the 19th century than in the 20th. That always reminds me as the Spanish empire, which reached its territorial zenith in the 18th century with the expansion through California and the acquisition of Louisiana. But although it was still a power, it wasn't in its golden years. Its golden age was from the beginning of the 16th century to the first half of the 17th, from its success in Europe and the Mediterranean, conquests and explorations in America and the Pacific, until the Peace of Westphalia and Pyrenees. The same can be said with the France of 17th/18th centuries. Great Britain's Golden Age was the 19th, as Spanish Golden Age was the 16th, Holland's in the 17th (in part, since it never went beyond being a mere maritime power among others), France's in the 18th, the one from Portugal the 15th, the one from the USA the 20th century itself, etc.
I have two questions: 1. Have Afghanistan, Nepal and Bhutan been a British protectorate? 2. Was Egypt independent of the United Kingdom from 1922 to 1952?
Afghanistan and Egypt were protectorates of the British Empire but Nepal and Bhutan weren’t protectorates but the British still had control over some of the activities in those countries
Relatively speaking it was not cruel. Learn history and compare it to the standards of the time period and you will be very surprised. It was the most benign empire in history.

Formally they become free British commenwealth member after 1867 , not part empire (like under british rule ) 1931 , Britain recoignation , they don't have right for want something for queen wishes.
@@sylvio1687 Independence is a complicated term. It was given in multiple steps. These are the most important. 1867 Canada becomes a country Canada may elect its own leaders and has control over most of its interior policies (like the economy) The British Parliament has complete control on Canada's foreign policy and may change its political leaders or amend its constitution at any time 1931 Canada gets control on its foreign policy Canada gets to trade with who they want or declare war to who they want, ect. The British Parliament retains the right to amend (change) Canada's constitution, making Canada still linked / dependent to the United Kingdom 1982 Canada separates its constitution (De facto independence) Canada has full control over their constitution, the British / Canadian Crown still remains a very important part of Canadian society.
@@Tan_15115 So, Canada was independent in 1867, before the British incorporated the African part and other territories? So the British Empire only had in its possession, simultaneously, 25 million km2, not 35 million. Canada belonged to the British Empire but it was not the British Empire, just the Commonwealth, like now. Spain and Portugal are united with Latin America through the Organization of Ibero-American States and the Ibero-American Summit. A kind of Commonwealth with the headquarters in Madrid. But no one thinks that it is the Spanish or Portuguese empire, but equal partners.
@@dincoox1725 The shipwreck of the San Telmo ship reached Antarctica a few years before the British, and even so it's believed that as early as the 16th century the Spanish brushed the South Pole
Ohk so we have to agree that Canada,Pakistan,sri Lanka,India,Malaysia,Nigeria,South Africa, New Zealand,Australia etc countries were still under British rule in 2017 umm ok correct🤣🤣🤣🤣very accurate bro thanks for this information😂😂😂😂
I keep seeing these types of comments. The distinction between still under British rule and members of the Commonwealth of Nations (either as a member state or Realm) should hopefully be distinguishable by the color code. But, sadly, apparently not.
What you don't know English and other British scientists back in 16th 17th 18th have invented many modern day stuff we use bro Of course they was a super power just that British empire sleeping for now
Although England was previously a power, it didn't become an emerging power until the 18th century after the War of the Spanish Succession. And it didn't become a hegemonic power until the 19th century, after the defeat of Napoleon in Europe and the fall of the Spanish Empire. It could be said that from the 1820s until WW2 UK was the global hegemony, neither before nor after

*Laughs in earl grey*
Yay!! I love British empire. The largest empire of the world. British empire is my idol. I don’t care if anybody hate British empire. I still like UK. British empire will always be in my heart forever.
U know how this empire killed many innocents,other soldiers etc. As killing millions of Africans,Chinese,Indians,American natives,Australians,etc.
And great potato famine of 1845 in ireland and great famine of 1943-44 of Bengal British Raj and so many many more
Dincoox 17 Yes, but in exchange of those countries development, it worthy enough. Also it’s a normal thing for the wars that some soldiers and peoples died just like world war 1 and world war 2.

So it's normal to commit crimes in war?
1997 was the end of the British Empire and Princess Diana also died that year. One of the saddest year in UK history😢
Great Video! What is the name of the software you used?
Great!
Love it ! , can you pls tell me why was the British empire I mean what is the reason behind it ? I need it for school
Bringing civilisation to the world.
@@mrman8541 civilization already existed for thousands os years the British were late to the party. Most were living in huts till Rome civilized them
@@michaelhow8403 Modern civilisation then. Rome and Middle Eastern empires can claim the crown for pre-modern civilisation
@@auberginemanproductions1608 no the western world in general contributed to modern civilization. It wasn’t just Britain. Britain was a big part probably the most important. But you can’t forget Germany,France, Spain,America and other countries as well.
@@michaelhow8403 True enough, true enough, but Britain was the one who really SPREAD modern civilisation around the globe. Obviously French colonies in Africa as well, but in the east it was mostly Britain with a bit of USA
Most of the areas gained independence so they lost territories, and so its not true it has still 2017 stuff

Would’ve the dominions be part of the commonwealth and not be called, “dominions”
You forgot to shade Iceland, which they had during WW2.
They don't!
@@JamesDelanoMcCarthysecondacc They did after fall of Denmark
@@pickleism253 i mean yeah but not for long
Wrong
Srilanka (Former Ceylon) got Independence in 1948 and became Dominion.
In 1972 It became a Sovereign Republic .
Canada actually gained independence in 1931
i always get confused
some people say the independance was in 1871 and some 1931
when they got independance?
Formally they become free British commenwealth member after 1867 , not part empire (like under british rule ) 1931 , Britain recoignation , they don't have right for want something for queen wishes.
@@sylvio1687 Independence is a complicated term. It was given in multiple steps. These are the most important.
1867
Canada becomes a country
Canada may elect its own leaders and has control over most of its interior policies (like the economy) The British Parliament has complete control on Canada's foreign policy and may change its political leaders or amend its constitution at any time
1931
Canada gets control on its foreign policy
Canada gets to trade with who they want or declare war to who they want, ect. The British Parliament retains the right to amend (change) Canada's constitution, making Canada still linked / dependent to the United Kingdom
1982
Canada separates its constitution (De facto independence)
Canada has full control over their constitution, the British / Canadian Crown still remains a very important part of Canadian society.
@@Tan_15115 So, Canada was independent in 1867, before the British incorporated the African part and other territories? So the British Empire only had in its possession, simultaneously, 25 million km2, not 35 million. Canada belonged to the British Empire but it was not the British Empire, just the Commonwealth, like now. Spain and Portugal are united with Latin America through the Organization of Ibero-American States and the Ibero-American Summit. A kind of Commonwealth with the headquarters in Madrid. But no one thinks that it is the Spanish or Portuguese empire, but equal partners.

No they are discovered south pole
@@dincoox1725 The shipwreck of the San Telmo ship reached Antarctica a few years before the British, and even so it's believed that as early as the 16th century the Spanish brushed the South Pole
Is Hong Kong part of the Commonwealth?
Soar-ed Recreational No
It's part of China now.
Not after 1997.
Hong Kong has a chance to join the commonwealth in the future, hopefully in mid-21st century.
The good days for certain!
Impressive

Got to take your hat off to the Brits, certainly done some arse kicking on a global scale over the years.
Ohk so we have to agree that Canada,Pakistan,sri Lanka,India,Malaysia,Nigeria,South Africa, New Zealand,Australia etc countries were still under British rule in 2017 umm ok correct🤣🤣🤣🤣very accurate bro thanks for this information😂😂😂😂
I keep seeing these types of comments. The distinction between still under British rule and members of the Commonwealth of Nations (either as a member state or Realm) should hopefully be distinguishable by the color code. But, sadly, apparently not.
Can you read? It clearly says Commonwealth
1:59 significantly grow up of British empire
At the end, india/sri lanka should be in the commonwealth colour no?(light red/pink). The colourscheme couldve been better
Yeah, with hindsight I should've made it clearer
Nigeria left in 1960
No, 1967, actually.
Russia is white country all the time 😂
Red devil Ty Yes, because white army of Russia is better than red army.
Why would they conquer Russia?

when did the British empire started to be a global superpower?
What you don't know
English and other British scientists back in 16th 17th 18th have invented many modern day stuff we use bro
Of course they was a super power
just that British empire sleeping for now
The British empire was technically a superpower but when the term superpower was made the British empire was not looking to good
Although England was previously a power, it didn't become an emerging power until the 18th century after the War of the Spanish Succession. And it didn't become a hegemonic power until the 19th century, after the defeat of Napoleon in Europe and the fall of the Spanish Empire. It could be said that from the 1820s until WW2 UK was the global hegemony, neither before nor after
