Note: Part 2 has been removed and will be remade! The date for this remake is currently undecided. Correction: Strathclyde was listed as a "Scottish kingdom." To clarify on this - Strathclyde was NOT a Scottish (in the sense of Pictish) kingdom, but was, rather, a remnant kingdom of the related Britons, much like the Welsh, which, later on in its history, was a puppet kingdom of Scotland (the kingdom of Alba) and absorbed into Scotland. When exactly this took place is not known, but it appears to have been under Scottish influence by the reign of Constantine II of Scotland. (c. 940-943).

Although I am an American, I have been studying English history for fifty years. I have read hundreds of books and enjoyed them all as I prefer to go deep into each area but this is perhaps the most concise and unbiased documentary that I have viewed about English history. Next year I will be realizing one of my dreams- to visit England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland and see all the places I’ve been reading about. Congratulations on your video. I hope people see it as the tip of the iceberg and that the real enjoyment is in learning about these people and places in depth.

It is possible to expand on the importance of the Battle of Hastings in 1066. To this day, even in American law schools they teach that 1066 is considered the "oldest legal memory, " as all property in England vested in the king. That was the beginning of the English common law system that currently exists in the UK and the USA.

As a consequence of being born in Northern Ireland, I could have had either British or Irish citizenship. It was a no brainer, if only for the fact that the British/English are hated all over the world, for their ridiculous, "rule Brittania", mentality. God bless Ireland 🇮🇪.

@@qcc9062 he's right in a way though, the British empire was the world's largest empire superpower in history and one of the longest running, it also created one of the current superpowers today the United States and created many other major economies like Canada, new Zealand and Australia. Today it's definitely a shadow of its former self as the European Union is definitely the biggest player in Europe now aswell as being one of the big 4 economic and military powers, whilst britain isn't even a major player anymore, it's more a minor economic and military power along with the likes of Canada, turkey, south Korea, Brazil, India and so on, but doesn't change the fact that from the mid 18th century to after WWI, Britain was the sole military and economic superpower, it had the largest navy, best army best technology and largest production capabilities with its expansive empire, but two world wars take its toll, the reason the US became so powerful was because they made a lot of money from selling supplies during world wars, combine that with them being safe and sound from the actual war and the wars absolutely destroying Europe economically, militarily and infrastructure wise and well it's why the US is the top of the 4 major military and economic powers today, which in descending order United States China European Union Russia

I get your point but most from England or even Europe in general don't understand our geography, culture, or history either. It's understandable. If any school child was expected to know ALL geography and history, it would take hundreds of years to educate them. Imagine teaching all of American, European, African, middle eastern, Indian, Asian, etc history/geography without watering it down a bit. No library could contain such a mass of information. You know as little about us as we do of you. I hate that. I'd love to know everything about everything. It simply is an impossible task and should never be expected or condemned. Be realistic.

In high school I studied the colonisation of USA, colonisation of south America, trans Atlantic slave trade, colonisation of Africa (as in most of the continent, Africa is not a country lol), Australia, New Zealand, Indochina, first world war and second world war social / economic and geographic contexts that lead to war - fall of Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian empires. I also learnt about Celtic settlers travelling from central Europe in the bronze age to essentially colonise Britain. It's just American schools dont seem to provide a well rounded geography / history education.
