Australia, New Zealand and Canada all got independent at the same time.
@@TheLightingPerson Well yes, but actually no.
On 1 July, 1867, the British North America Act officially proclaimed Canadian confederation, forming a federal dominion comprising Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. This meant that, although not under the direct rule of the British Empire, they still weren’t fully independent either. Australia federated into the Commonwealth of Australia on 1 January, 1901, marking our independence, whilst New Zealand became a dominion in 1907, giving them self-governing status.
In the video, the Statue of Westminster, which was passed on 11 December, 1931, was used as the date for all three countries’ independence. This act removed Britain’s authority to control the dominions and made them fully independent, sovereign nations.

Am I the only one that is kinda feeling weird because Sinai isn't included in Egypt's map?
Uhh, yes yes you are.
Yeah it's weird, I'm Egyptian so I wondered why they didn't include it. maybe Egypt gained independence but Sinai was still part of the British empire until later, so the video creator included the first map of Egypt after independence. I'm going to do a quick search and update you on this
Update: didn't find anything, probably a mistake from the creator.
ZackDoesStuff I thought Britain held onto cause Suez Canal and then later gave it to Egypt due to international pressure
@@FrenzyBenzij
From my quick search about it, no that didn't happen.
After Egypt gained independence the British still had a lot of control on the government and Egypt was kinda only "partially-independent" but when Egypt gained actual full independence, Britain wanted to take the Suez canal by war so three nations formed an alliance, Britain, France and Israel. But after a week or so from the start of this war they returned defeated and couldn't take anything.
So Sinai have always been a part of Egypt since hundreds of years ago and even during it's occupation and after it's independence.
Except for the six years between 1967 and 1973 when Israel took over it but Egypt regained it.
So yeah Sinai was never exclusively a part of the British empire. But again I didn't do a thorough research I just looked around in Wikipedia so I might be mistaken.

Boring fact: only 13 states of the US got independence from the UK. We never ruled Florida, Texas, Louisiana, the mid-west, the west or Alaska. In fact, after 1776 we briefly ruled Hawaii and had claims in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming as part of the British Columbia District (not D.C.!).
I don't think the UK ever ruled Hawaii. Had influence over? Oh clearly, just look at the flag. But any chance of Hawaii being a colony got thrown out the window when the US put it in it's sphere of influence.
@@tendo649 Not really there's plenty of British territory around America like in the Caribbean, even today
Nah the British ruled some parts of the midwest, they got it from France after the seven years war. However, they gave it to the US after losing the war of independence. (They technically didn't lose the war, more like they gave up)

Fact: Australia became a federation in 1st of 1st 1901 and is still ruled under British monarchies
Yeah we federated than, but that’s just the merging of the colonies under one dominion, to pinpoint independence is much more difficult for the dominons.
UK: Alright Australia and New Zealand, we will give you Independence!
Australia and New Zealand: Finally!
Uk: Alright so you going to remove our union jack from your flags?
Australia and New Zealand: Hell no
Fun fact: It was unable to capture Nepal because of brave Gorkhas.
@Anonymous Boy They wanted Nepal because to trade with China properly (Tibet). Nepal was an obstacle for them. And also they wished to capture Nepal because of its cool climate. The forests of Nepal was and is filled with many natural ayurvedic medicines. And dear friend, they attacked Nepal bro.
They had 3000 soldiers but Nepal fought with 300 400 people including Children and Women as well. Yeah and they took half territory of Nepal back then. They had capacity to capture the whole country but the soldiers and commanders, physically fought and mentally made agreement with British to take only half territory.
@Anonymous Boy it's ok. Cheers.👍
@N Shivam Kumar They had attacked Nepal and the war was called Anglo Nepal War. Don't know the main purpose, but they had attacked but failed to capture the whole country.
There's nothing to loot why they will capture nepal btw
My god are u kidding me😂. I think u r a small kid.. NEPAL WAS A PART OF INDIA BEFORE. like wth

Love from the Phillippines!😘
Did you know the Phillippines almost became a colony of the British Empire? It turns out Britain once occupied Manila. But they hold Manila for only 2 years,the Spanish had an advantage on re capturing Manila. So Britain only had Manila for 2 years,imagine the Phillippines becoming a colony of Britain🤔
Then you Phillipines wouldn't be stolen by us Americans.
Do you think that the Spanish or British would be nicer rulers? Just curious
@@Goodwind88 idk tbh but i think Spain, cause Britains rulers we're a little greedy, but Spain may have had some rulers that we're greedy, but i still think Spain.
Maybe Philippines will be better if Great Britain rule us look at Hong Kong it became gorgeous because Great Britain ruled it

World War I
Over 1 million Indian troops took part in World War I for British,out of which 75k died. Fought against German Empire. After winning WWI ,Indians thought British might give them Independence. British had no interest to leave whatsoever.
*World War II*
Over 2.5 million British Indian troops fought all over the world & 87k died.
Indian National Congress criticized Nazi Germany, but they would not fight them until India is Independent. the British Viceroy, Lord Linlithgow declared India's entry into the War without consulting prominent Indian Congress leaders who were just elected in previous elections. To that INC started Quit India Movement, refusing co-operation with the then Govt. of British India. Around 60k INC leaders were arrested.
Rebellion
Subhas Chandra Bose (also called Netaji) prominent leader of Congress, volunteered to help Germany and Japan; he said Britain's opposition to Nazism and Fascism was "hypocrisy" since it was itself violating human rights and denying individual liberties in India. Moreover, he argued that it was not Germany and Japan but the British Raj which was the enemy, since the British were over-exploiting Indian resources for War purposes.. He broke with Congress and tried to form a military alliance with Germany or Japan to gain independence. Bose, with the assistance of Germany, formed the Indian from Indian students in Axis occupied Europe and Indian Army prisoners of war. Axis allied Indian troops were fighting with British Indian troops in British Burma & North-East India.
Bengal Famine 1943
ever-increasing financial and resource needs due to the war, caused a massive famine where 3 million people died. Japanese invasion of Burma cut off food and other essential supplies to the region, Churchill diverted all food to Europe. Amery, the Indian secretary of state, and Archibald Wavell, the Viceroy of India, to stop exports of food from Bengal in order that it might be used for famine relief. Winston Churchill, then prime minister, dismissed these requests in a fashion that Amery regarded as "Hitler-like," by asking why, if the famine was so horrible, Gandhi had not yet died of starvation.
The Allied Nations won WWII, around 30 British Indians were awarded Victoria Cross . British still had no interest to leave India. However, faced with the possibility of a massive civil unrest and a mutiny in the Indian Army, the British officials decided to release the prisoners-of-war, in addition the event became a turning point to expedite the process of transformation of power and independence of India.

@Florez "y'all" oh stfu.
@Florez India was much poorer in British rule. From 1900 to 1947 India's annual growth rate was around 0.01%. From 1948 to 1991 it was around 4.5%. From 1991 to today it was 7.5%
@Florez hmm we still are
Before British Invasion, that region had almost *25%* share of world's gdp and when they left ,it was just *4%* . Obviously, *$45* trillion was leached out by British , makes sense . They left us with a poverty rate of *65%* and percapita income of just *$85* . Now the Poverty rate fell to *21%* . On the otherhand, there is no improvement in per capita income( *$2300* ) .

Yea EXPECTED the US we had to fought for it but before 1776 we actually asked to be independent BUT still be under the British Crown like Canada was in the 19th century but Britain didn't want that so we had to fight to get our independent while other (expect for India they got those by a peaceful protest in the 1960s) got there independence by asking that's why their is a large gap between 1776 in 1919 when Afghanistan got it's independence in 1919 from what the US got ours in 1776

Additional info: the independence of Malaysia in 31 August 1957 is just consists of only Peninsular Malaysia, with the name of Malaya. The Borneo part (Brunei, Sabah and Sarawak) and also Singapore were interested to join with Malaya to form Malaysia in 16 September 1963. But only Brunei declined to join, making only Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore become Malaysia before Singapore was quitting in 9 August 1965.
That's why you guys cannot see Singapore gained independence from UK, because it was part of Malaysia. Thanks for reading.
Singapore got kicked out.
