How England Managed To Invade 90% Of The World

During Britain’s heyday, it controlled territory in practically every corner of the planet, and throughout its history, Britain was able to invade 90% of the countries around the world. The craziest part is how they did it. Check out today's insane new video to learn all about how Britain pillaged, plundered and invaded all but a small handful of countries during the years the Empire was forming.

Someone once said if your country wasn't invaded by the British then it doesn't exist and turns out they are 90% correct 😂😂😂

Make your mind up - Britain and England aren't interchangeable terms.
Prior to 1707 you're talking about England, whereas after 1707 it's Britain.

the fact that we even speak their language here in comment section proves how relevant they are.

The biggest legacy for me is that English is the most widely spoken language in the world both in terms of absolute numbers and in the number of countries it is spoken in.

Hey info graphics I would like to see a video explaining Why gunpowder was around for hundreds of years but why did it take so long for breach loaded weapons and cartridge fired bullets to be developed?

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.

Technically they didn't conquer 90% of the globe but they did attack 90% of countries

Great video but at 14:46 you got the Ottoman flag and mughal empire flag mixed up

[liftusup]

Technically we are still living in English era if you look at grand scale of timeline. US and co. are new forms of this empire.

Just a completely unforeseen coincidence that as soon as Scotland and England go on to create Britain it explodes in power. I dislike it when you use England and Britain as the same thing, overshadowing the many Welsh, Irish and Scottish lives lost in both world wars and our contributions to the empire. Like the British flag is literally just a combination of the Scottish and English flag.

Being a small island I always say GB had a sort of “ small man/country syndrome” and had to let every other country know they weren’t messing around
