I have always been an intense anglophile. I love everything about the United Kingdom: Shakespeare, Winston Churchill, their steadfast fight against Hitler, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Lord Byron, Tennyson, the whole glorious empire and history. And man, those guys really have class.
Don’t forget Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and Def Leppard
The British Empire was super awesome and brought cool stuff to its colonies. Ask an Indian what he thinks of Cricket.
Update: I just got a Marshall amp!🇬🇧🇬🇧
@@mann8557 canzuk
Why are you comparing Hitler and the Beatles? I mean that makes no sense.
This is the first time I heard the lyrics to 'Rule Britannia', it was also used in CGPgrey's video "The Difference between the United Kingdom, Great Britain and England Explained" :D
I feel that America, England, and France are cousin- countries, as we've had many a history together, and each played a part in our respective modern settings. Like cousins, we've fought against each other, fought alongside each other, and shared many similarities. I am a proud American, and am proud to call Britain and France my cousin-countries.

When you decide to use 19th century style cavalry against maxim guns
For king and country!
The most impressive part is that some of those charges were a success! The First Battle Of The Marne in 1914 comes to mind. The Battle of Beersheba and the Battle Of Mons also are examples (albeit a pyrrhic victory in the latter case)
God bless everyone who remember this magnificent music
(Edit) This is true nostalgia

***** People can wish and I like that wish alot
1812AndMore I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but many people can trace their heritage back to some king. Think about it, there have been hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of kings over the years, so it makes sense that you could trace your heritage back to them. Although it is still cool.
@@winstonchurchill624 he said he could trace it back to Queen Victoria, which is relatively recent.
We all miss the days before the world forced decolonization down our throats, and the days of Queen Victoria, lad.
It was supposed to be a short war, a happening to wear a uniform with fancy silver pips and then brag around the girls. Just a slap on the Hun's insolent face and come back home. How sad and tragic.

I Just wish I could of seen the Grand Fleet coming out of Scapa Flow before the first world war.
Pferd Schild LOL what. The German High Seas Fleet is the worst decision in the German Empire’s history
Anglos and Teutons fighting eachother was the worst tragedy.
@Pferd Schild Not all of them, in reality, the U-boats themselves were fucked by Battleships
if only...
Brian krolikowski what about at the end of the war escorting the High Seas Fleet into captivity, at its full might...
God bless you Sir
But of course!

Are you a naturalised British citizen? If so you could call yourself British.
Maybe you are a Brit with foreign heritage, nothing wrong with that.
Nice! Thanks, there are numerous American WW 1 songs on youtube, but not that much British, French of German.

Love it
This was at the begining of WW1
No, this was at the beginning of the 1812 war
You're joking, right?
Are u all dumb? its clear it was recorded by vikings
All of you are incorrect. This particular recording of "Rule Britannia" was by the English for the King of the English in 927 AD, the founding year!
The description says 1914.
The Queen is dead. Long live the new King, King Charles III Windsor!

I really like this version! Clear, Punchy.
Recorded at a time when Britannia really did rule the waves. Albert Farrington probably sang this with the pride of the glorious Britain it was at the time, unlike today. Whenever this song is played today, it is usually just to harken back to a bygone era when "Britain was great", whatever that means.
I personally think the anthem should be changed from God save the Queen to rule Britannia
thought that too, but the complete lyrics are a bit too nationalistic
@@SvobodaIliSmert Well it is a *National* Anthem...
@@ericsteele6941 yeah ok but saying that every nation but yours is gonna fall to a tyrant is a bit too nationalist i guess
