The ENTIRE History of The United Kingdom | History Documentary

The land of Britain was once considered a myth by the mighty Roman Empire.
To them, it was nothing more than an old legend.

This would change in the year 55 BC, when Julius Caesar set his sights on this fabled island and sailed towards its shores.

The historical discovery would end in defeat.
Almost a century later, the Romans found glory when Roman Emperor Claudius stepped foot on British soil.

Here they conquered magnificent castles and cities, and left their mark on the land.
They set their eyes on Stonehenge, using the sacred site for their worship and rituals.
Londinium was established, and the Romans seized control of the land.

But what happened next in the history of the United Kingdom? To understand the story of this fascinating land, we must start from the very beginning…

The United Kingdom has played a huge role in developing democracy, literature, and science all around the world. In the 19th century, at the peak of its growth, the British Empire was spread over a quarter of the globe. In fact, It was once said that the sun never sets on the British Empire, which is a testament to how much influence the country had on the world.
We will take a look right back to the birth of the country, which was to become one of the most powerful and widespread civilizations on the planet.

Let us know which civilization you want us to cover next!

Feel free to also leave us some feedback, we'd love to see what you think of our content

It was King Harold who was defeated by William the Conqueror, not Edward the Confessor who was busy being dead at the time of the Battle of Hastings. A minor point, but it needed to be corrected.

You just skip straight from the fall of the Roman Empire to Viking invasion with no mention of the Saxon invasion, how they formed kingdoms or interacted with the Natives. It's not the "ENTIRE history" if you miss a key part.

Even though this may have a number of mistakes, as someone who has very few knowledge on the history of England this is great for introduction. I won't remember most of the details said, but it gives a global view and enables me to start searching on a lit of these topics one by one while having a more connected view of everything.

Thank you for putting this piece together, it is easy to watch and follow.

Entire? In depth? In one hour and 45 minutes.... brave. Oh and Edward the Confessor was dead when William invaded England in 1066.

[juliantheapostate]

Why is 'England' emblazoned across Scotland?

Sort it out!

[WelshHistories]

I respect the dedication to videos of this length.

[blueffect]

several issues here,

- No mention of British navy or 13 colonies, so this is really the history of England as a body of land and not the British empire.

- The first "Britons arrived in 8000 BC from Europe", but England was at one point part of Europe so that doesn't make sense, plus a few minutes later the video stats that there is evidence of tools going back 450, 000 years in Essex. it's almost as if you contradict yourself twice. *also, why the drastic jump in time?*

- there are timeline issues when referring to King Harold's defeat because it was William the Conqueror not Edward the confessor who defeated him. Edward was dead at the time.

- WW2 did not start in 1945.

- the photographs do not match the timelines.

- Margaret Thatcher was A Tory not a Labour party member.

- Bronze is an alloy, good luck finding Bronze wait.

- England is referenced as Britain, UK, England and the British Isles.

- Terrible pronunciation.

- there are a few parts where the audio does no match up to the video.

Love the videos, really well done
Would be happy to help with the fact checking. Keep going

Many of the pictures and video clips shown for the Georgian period were anachronistic depictions of the later Victorian or WWI eras. In the Georgian period, British men wore tricorne hats and knee breeches, not double-breasted suits and cravats. There were no steam trains or cars (Richard Trevithick invented the first steam locomotive in England in 1802). This was the era of the Caribbean Pirates and the American Revolution (which occurred under the third of four King Georges from which the period derived its name).

One of the great mysteries is how did a tiny group of tribes on the edge of Northern Europe build the largest Empire in history and shape the modern world, it’s quite incredible. Another way to look at this is why didn’t India or China or another Asian culture do this first? They had great civilisations at least 1000 years before Northern Europe and much larger populations.

I've been waiting for a new video from you guys and here it is. I just love your video style, really refreshing and creative. I really love your channel. Keep doing your best.

For our American friends, shire isn't pronounced "Shy-r", it's pronounced "Sher". That is all. :)

Also, WWII started in 1939.

[KaotikKrow]

Regardless of the few mistakes you made in this video I think it was a really good video. Don't listen to these people that bat you down. Your time and effort put into this must have been alot.

[fuoco]

I hope you make more videos like this! I would deffo binge watch them over the summer holidays

[leeclements]

interesting but some key points keep myths alive, example you showed footage of 'Tower Bridge' building began in 1886 and opened in 1894 when talking about the Tower of London Started around 1078 and continues to get upgrades/modernised to this day

[QueerChica]

An additional point, Thames is pronounced "tems" not "fames". Alas, great video 🙂 x

[VisionForgeMedia]

Makes me wonder how things might have been different if certain events had unfolded otherwise.
