    This episode claims British troops landed in India in 1858 as a result of the US War of Independence. In reality British troops had already been in India for at least 100 years by that date (including forces of the East India Company).1858 is the year Britain established the British Raj in India, ruling until Indian independence in 1947, just following WW2. Independence partially granted due to India's huge contribution to the allies during WW1 & WW2. It is from this era that the highly regarded Ghurka regiment was established consisting of Nepalese soldiers serving in the British army - and continues to this day.

    The British was also responsible for Diego Silang's death after they promised him military assistance to support his revolt against Spain, which never happened. This also led to the death of Diego's wife, Gabriela Silang after she took the mantle of leadership after Diego's execution.

      Yes, they would. Geopolitical strategist Peter zeihan talks about this. They would not exist as they do now, but they could survive.

      When I think about it, I can't see any reason that we couldn't. We're very blessed with natural resources of just about every kind plus we have the manufacturing and technological capability to sustain and continue progressing as well. Sure, we'd lose some things that we import but they aren't necessities, they're just bonuses to living here. Now if we were completely cut off, sure it'd be a rough 10 years as we struggled to rebuild industries that have long since left and find solutions for the few things that we don't naturally have but we do have the know how to do that with no issue. In some ways, I think it would be better if we went back to pre WW2.

      I don’t think it was mentioned because it’s not really relevant to the topic.

The act of buying enslaved people alone didn’t build England. It was how hard they worked them to gain maximum profits
