- A single empire in Europe would take over a quarter of the planet’s land and population.
The foundations began on the lands of England, with a powerful British Monarchy igniting an extraordinary story of exploration and world domination.
The British Empire saw the greatest stories of human achievement and triumph.
But also saw the worst sides of humanity.
After the discovery of America around 500 years ago, they ventured out into the oceans.
The British would encounter unknown civilizations, creating historic partnerships and rivalries.
Within 4 centuries, the empire would be worth over 600 billion dollars.
But how did an empire that owned parts of The Americas, Asia, Africa and even Australia eventually come to an end?
We must start from the beginning.
This is The Entire History of The British Empire
#history #documentary #british #empire #civilization
I love the British people despite the past history that had taken place. They were the first to put an end to slavery, and I won't remain bitter as it was the past and you cannot change that. I am from the english speaking caribbean islands, most islands except Barbados still view Britain particularly England, as the Motherland (I do not mean homeland).
Some of my best childhood memories included reading British literature, I can see why most native British people are proud of their country, their achievements are impressive.
The first to abolish slavery was limited to the American colonies where they were the first to profit in the African slave trade. However they continued forced indigenous servitude ( slavery ) in Australia, India, China, South Africa and numerous additional colonies in Africa and the East Indies.
Thanks for the bit of knowledge@@Ronald-wv1bz
Thank you ❤🇬🇧
@@Ronald-wv1bz Well reminded: and I would add ie include Ethiopia ie Abyssinia where sometime slavery aspects were practically enshrined in empirical custom [ I wonder how Haile Selasse would have explained that in the 1930s had anyone asked him…]; when finally British and Allied troops found that out after accepting the final Italian surrender at end November 1941, they made their liberation and restoration of Haile Selasse’s empire conditional on the total abolition of that traditional slavery.
I suspect there were other aspects of slavery existing covert in remotely administered areas of British, French and Belgian colonialisation more concerned with “turning a blind eye to keep peace” than earnest endeavour to impose rights over wrongs to people who knew little difference and possibly appreciated crusts of bread more than questionable freedom to roam around not knowing what to do and even less how to do it, not to say telling the difference between a threatening human thug and a ferocious wild animal.
When all is said and done, by the end of the Middle Ages apart from Russia and areas of Eastern Europe, slavery had ended. Yet the concept of slavery became practically “reborn” along wth the newfound concepts of profit, via observations of the practice in Northern Africa where it existed unquestioned held within the Ottoman Empire and other Muslim areas (the Sudan).
The rest is history: merchants trade their wares to African chieftains who possessed only human beings to pay and said merchants trading their human prisoners captive on board their vessels to immigrant Europeans in America desperate for human labour for profit from their cotton empires.
Oh the pity of it all! Human labour ie human beings…largely ignorant of basic knowledge yet hardly unfeeling of not only their physical daily pain but of their unexplained mental pain as well.
Add to that, the total wanton and inexcusable ignorance of so many…of the very name of William Wilberforce, MP, RIP…
Indeed, whither the thought as to whether the effort was ever worth the trouble….
As in the Holy Testament KJV the Holy Gospel according St Matthew:
“By their fruits, ye shall know them…”
Amen…
You realise we've been lied to A LOT, if you learn your history you will understand that England was just fighting for their survival right up to the present day, peace 🎉
I spent 3 hours watching your content, it's not a waste of time, it's so great
One of the greatest empires of all time
it was the greatest empire
No empire in history should be described as "great". They all built what they had through the murder and continued, systematic, and ruthless exploitation of their fellow human beings. Can you explain what about that was great?
@@mhrcracing shut up leftie
@@mhrcracingLmao without slavery society most likely wouldn't be here, atleast as we know it today. And murder, torture, cruelty and destruction is just human nature, We've been doing that since the beginning, still doing it in the present and will be doing it untill our end, Just because we've pretended to be some loving, caring and helpful species the last century or two doesn't change anything.
to be exact in greatest terms.
It comes below the ranking of Isreal (colony of USA).
Love British Empire from a lower caste dalit indian.
Before British raj Upper caste Brahman people taxed lower caste dalit woman to cover their breast.If a dalit woman want to cover their breast he must give tax to upper caste Brahman. It is the mighty British Empire who end breast tax in india.
Glory to the mightiest British Empire
So stupid question? British divided all Indian by cast . British divided Hindustan
You stated that in the Old testament, marrying your brother's widow was banned. That's wrong. Marrying your brother's widow was customary in those times for the very reason you stated.
If anything, the reason Henry wanted a divorce was because if he did have a son, that son would have been his brother's heir and not his.
How could he be his brothers heir if his brother died? I also know that it wasn’t wrong to marry your brothers widow but it’s still unclear to me how did Henry manage to divorce 🤔
Good to see that they didn't let facts ruin their narrative.
AHH does the truth hurt?😅
@@007JNR yea, the truth hurts that the british are the best empire on the planet for others.

Thank you for a very quality video
This is great! Many thanks
A really good & interesting documentary. Many of the images used were inaccurate but overall it is good.
The images are annoyingly all AI but still good. If you want evidence go to 23:12 and look at the faces of the people in the background.
@@Minikitty130 I know they are AI haha
watched it full in 10 days awesome work
Thanks!!
Great Documentary
Amazing video love the editing, as a British person who has studied British history, there are a lot of stories that are not in here that are worth mentioning, such as the first Christian king Athelberht of Kent & the missionary of Augustine of Canterbury during the time when England was a heptarchy, William the Conqueror defeating Harold II in 1066, Edward III during the Hundred Years War which led up to the War of the Roses and lots more. Would love to help make you more bits of content. Subscribed!
Appreciate the support :)
We tried to skim through the beginning to get straight to the exploration years. Our video "The Entire History of the British Monarchy" - ua-cam.com/video/IWHP7Jtyqzk/v-deo.html goes through a lot of the earlier history.
@@BeginningToNoww no you certainly didn't.
Your group ignored everything positive about the British Empire, and took tiny bits of information, misunderstood them, took them out of context, and created entire false victimhood narratives based on your own biases.
@@historyntruth1970there was nothing +ve abt the british empire
You didn't study British geography though eh? Amazing how Somerset has moved North and west since ancient times.
@@keithbentley6081 Somerset as a county has never moved its location, I have no idea what on earth you meant by that lol
Seems to me there's lot of inaccuracies, errors, missing facts, and bias.
Before any documentary I watch I know it'll be packed full of wrong info and anti European bias. It's status quo now.. Most "history" channels are ran by people who just read Wikipedia and regurgitate the same old crap. And most people just blindly absorb it. They never question it or consider it. Just mindlessly accept anything that comes with a video. Very sad. Sucks for people like us who are able to decipher this kinda stuff and stuck not being able to enjoy these documentaries because we are aware of the problems.
Good, don't watch.
So can you give us a good factual documentary?
agreed, hallmark AI
@@JoeyArmstrong2800 - Good ? You mean it's good to be inaccurate? To make errors? To be biased ?
A nice example of how Generative AI can help tell a story. Good Job.
A little too much fog and dust particles in the images though. I understand it helps give the illusion of movement, but it's a bit overkill.
Also, including more traditional paintings, newspaper headlines, political cartoons, etc. from the time periods would be really nice to break up the Map to AI to Map to AI to Map, etc. flow. It'll kinda cleanse the pallete so to speak. Really cool overall though.
For sure, I completely agree!
Thanks for the great feedback mate.
Wait - this is AI generated? How?
Well done!

you make a great video ❤
Love for British Empire from core of my heart.
As a lower caste dalit you British are saviour and angel in our life.
It is the British people when they came to India the considered lowered caste as human.Before British Empire lower caste dalit were considered lower than animal.
According to Hinduism a cow is sacred but a dalit lower caste is impure.If some one killed a cow he will go to hell but if someone killed or rape a dalit it was not considered a crime.
It is the British people who gave right to live dalit people.
Anglo saxons and celts hate indians
😂
And they banned widow burning too.
I’m from Pakistan and I honestly believe that sub-continent would have been better off if it just remained under the British.
What about divide and rule between Muslim and Hindu? If dalit are happy with British then babasaheb ambedkar never spoke against British. They only want to convert dalit to Christianity.
Great work. But somewhere in the beginning, the year of the war that Athelstan led was 937, not 927. But I might be wrong.
The picture at 7.15 is of Vancouver's Stanley Park before the seawall was built in the 1970's , with Siwash Rock just around the bend and UBC / Point Grey in the background... Unmistakable
They still dominate the world finance system
the new empire
lol no the united states dominates. britain isnt close but they are still a major player financially
@@garyreid7865 the united states has significantly more financial influence
They haven't dominated the finance system since pre-WWII. Since then, the dollar became the reserve currency. Furthermore, the Brits were still paying off their debt (to the U.S.) in the early 2000s😂😂😂😂😂
America is basically Britain 2.0. America started out as British colonies. The founding fathers of America were British. They were born in Britain, fought in the British military, and their mother tongue was English. Only 1/3 of Americans actually wanted independence from the British Empire at the time. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say America was founded by British people.
I'm proud to see our American offspring thriving.
This helped my history exam
Very interesting video & informative
Cheers :)
No it isn't.
It's Anti-British trash
….home of first men human right …. Quite an achievement!!!! And first human tech revolution English is steam engine….
First time coming across you but I'm glad I did great video man looking forward to watching more
This video is nothing but false victimhood narratives.
It totally slips a huge amount of valid information that totally reverses this Anti-British trash.
How would Hawkins visit Taj Mahal in 1612 when it did not exist. It was commissioned in 1631.

We have the Cabot trail in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada.I don't see that lit up lol. He must have sauntered a little further south, or we're all mistaken😅😅
To ignore Scottish and English conflicts in medieval history and show Scotland as red and part of England is absolutely ridiculous and insulting.

And the battle of pots and pans 1764

Can u do a an entire history of Ethiopia from ancient to now please
Now that would be interesting. Until recently I didn't know just how rich Ethiopian history is and how advanced they really were before my own nation England. Respect from England.
We're working on an 'Entire History of Africa' video! Lot's should be mentioned.
Wow just wow
When Hawkins came Taj Mahal was not even built...😅😅😅
Can you do this for the Spanish empire! How do you make this its incredible
The Spanish didn't establish Machu Picchu. They never even laid eyes on it. It was a hidden and abandoned city. They did establish Lima and conquered Cuzco.
So the armed forces of Machu Picchu shot themselves? How did they all die and how do you explain the Spanish expansion into their territory
How did this get so many views so quickly over the other long running documentaries?
is there other channels with open captions like this one?😭😭😭
good jub :)
Just to say, a lot of the content, especially the visual map content, is such bullshit.
E.g. the Spanish Armada was forced to sail all around the British Isles before returning home and the stormy weather around Ireland is what destroyed most of the fleet
Saw the botched flag on the thumbnail, and wondered if anyone noticed in the comments.
Judging by your words, it was the least of the details which are incorrect, thanks for saving me three hours of my life!
@@jimb9063 no worries mate, I stopped after about 30 mins lol
Was going to say this.
It also says the settlement for Jamestown left from the themes and not the mayflower from Plymouth
This entire documentary is AI generated trash. Just look at the horrific nightmare fuel that are the images at 3:01:27 and 3:16:46.
Oh my god stop crying 😂😂😂
You used a picture of Mary Queen of Scots as Mary I Tudor. Check your sourczs!
One day while looking at a map I realized Detroit is French. d'étroit (pronounced day twa) means narrow. Considering its location this makes perfect sense.
Chamberlain said it first, speaking to the US narrators from Birmingham, England 17 March 1939, he said we will never surrender. Churchill said it as head of continuity for US documentaries.
So nothing about 1066 or William the Barstad
They killed Harold! Those barstads!
William the Bartender?
No truly how could the AI leave that part out.
I was rooting for Harald too, but they broke ranks too quickly, and eventually William got the upper hand.
Great Britain didn't exist then.
Bloody good weren’t we back in the day!
This royal throne of kings, this sceptered isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-Paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall,
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands;
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England,
This nurse, this teeming womb of royal kings,
Fear'd by their breed and famous by their birth,
Renownèd for their deeds as far from home,
For Christian service and true chivalry
As is the sepulcher in stubborn Jewry
Of the world's ransom, blessed Mary's Son--
This land of such dear souls, this dear dear land,
Dear for her reputation through the world . . .

Can you imagine? The British history documentary is made by American historians
Actually I'm Aussie mate
47:12 Charles I: "Nolumus Leges Angliae Mutari." (translation: "We do not wish the laws of England to be changed.")
Parliament: "Nolumus Leges Probatus Angliae Mutari, Sed Illae Quae Non Probatae Sunt Abeant." (translation: "We do not wish the laws that have proven themselves in England to be changed, but those that haven't been proven must go.")
They missed their chance to baffle the king.
Will you do the Roman Empire?

Very good documentary but man TOO MANY ADS.
No it isn't.
It is full of Anti-British trash, through never covering the full stories, and skipping all the good things that the British Empire did... which far outweigh any negative effects.
No it isn't.
It's full of Anti-British trash, and blatant lies and partial stories, taken out of context, misunderstood, and then expounded upon, creating a ridiculously childish, false victimhood narrative history of the Empire
No it isn't.
It's blatantly obvious that it's about taking fragments of history out of context, misunderstanding them, and creating an absurd, entirely false victimhood narrative for attacking British history.
Scotland was an independant nation from 1314. No mention of that......
British Empire had Everything, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly... But how this Video is focusing only on bad and Ugly stuff of the British Empire is Hard to Understand... Beautifull American Narative here :) Thats how "Special Relationship" working :)) And I'm completly Neutral Here, I'm Lithuanian, so :)
Anti European bias is rampant in everything now. Americans don't give a shit about smearing England. It's academia and certain special interests who push this hatred of white people. You think white people woke up one day and decided to demoralize themselves and hate tjemselves? Hmm.. If you are still that naive then there's no hope for you.
True. One day the brits will get the recognition for the good stuff uk gave to the world like the Romans and Greeks do today. Which is far more than those small empires.
Empires rise from hell........Roger casement
Great video! Please make a similar one about India.

The war of the roses effectively ended at the battle of bosworth when Richard III was killed and Henry vii took the throne it didn’t end with Henry vi taken the throne he was actual disposed by a York king Edward IV in 1471who was succeeded by Richard III who then was defeated by the Tudor Henry vii who then married Elizabeth of York

Jesus! There’s an ad every few minutes
the gold didnt do the spanish any good, tons was nicked by british privateers funding the navy, the rest just caused massive inflation in spain cancelling out their gains
So to your logic, the « tons of gold nicked » by the Brits had no massive inflationary effect upon England’s economy…How so? Did they manage it better?
@@Cromwelldunbar yes, they built ships, a navy thus "rule brittania, brittannia brittannia rules the waves", thus the empire. spain used the gold internally which just inflated away its value in the internal economy and dispersed that wealth internationally buying luxury perishables from trade ruled by the english navy
The price of manipulating history, it was not cheap certainly. And maybe is because the gold went already trough that route, because latitude 42 was the one to return to america, hence the interest of the catalans and spanish monarchy to have links with england
@@Cromwelldunbarthe gains went to the privateers or naturalised english citizens, for example cabot,hawkins, john of st john, etc but the way all of these 3 names ( including the brothers Cabot) are Catalan Native speakers, naturalised english in 16 century
@@xavisanchez7522 the privateers held paper from the english crown. if you didnt hold papers you were not a privateer, you were a pirate. lots of the gold wen to the crown, to more ships.
