Britains greatest gift to the world, was ending the global slave trade. Before Britain put a stop to it. Slavery was common practice since the dawn of man.

We Brits are very humble. We shout our failures before we shout our greatness. 🇬🇧🇬🇧👌

Without the British we would not have the life we have now or the ability to communicate over the internet. I’m grateful to them. They have saved billions of lives with the discovery of antibiotics and antiseptics, vaccines. They have gave the world so much more than they ever took from it and they deserve recognition.

Brits did some horrific things in their past, but they also did so much for the World. I am especially proud of Great Britains stand against slavery.

Research in Japan revealed that 40% of the Worlds important inventions were made in Great Britain . Many between the15th and 19th Century as we did start the Industrial Revolution.

The one thing that everybody seems to forget is that being colonised by the British had one major advantage especially for countries within Africa they where then a lot less likely to be attacked and have their people forced and sold into the then still very active Arab slave trade as the Arab countries didn't want the trouble it would bring so although not an ideal thing being ruled or governed by another nation and living by there rules it was better than living in chattel slavery in another country

The most important belief in freedom, rights, and justice is founded in the British Empire now the Commonwealth, compared to other countries the majority of the English speaking world is free or at least not dominated by dictators.

We ended slavery in Britain in the 11th century, anyone bringing slaves to visit were in for a shock once they landed. The moment the slave stepped on our soil they were free. That really upset the owners who usually brought their best and favourite slave. Every court case to keep the slave lost.

Great to hear how these young ladies are talking and considering things. It is refreshing to hear some intelligent dialogue rather than so much of the young person’s pointless ranting of which we hear so much on You Tube. Well done ladies. Thank you.

“I contend that we are the finest race in the world, and that the more of the world we inhabit, the better it is for the human race.” Cecil Rhodes.

I know it's fashionable to bash the brits and with good reason in some aspects but you can only do that because the British invented modern sociaty that every man, woman and child, but for a few tribes, benefits from. Our inventions have saved hundreds of millions of lives and continue to do so to this day. You are reading this because of the brits. What you see today and benefit from wouldn't exist without us. Be grateful be humble, be angry if you must but most of all be better informed!

People hate success...especially on such a global scale🇬🇧🦁

In 1603 the French invented the toilet seat, in 1619 the Brits put a hole in it... :o)

The British empire was the best thing to happen to the world!

The first German jet engine was a copy of the British one.

He could have mentioned that hovercrafts were a British invention. And 2 huge huge huge things the British gave the world are weekends and holidays. Also police were a British 1st thing and the fire brigade.

"Cat's Eyes" are those small refelctors on roads which shine when a car headlight illumintes them. They are now found all over the world on most roads. Their design is such that the light from the headlight is refelected over a wide angle so no metter where you are the light is seen by your eyes. The ingenuity is that there's a little depression in front of the reflectors and a brush. The bump part is on a spring. Water collects in the depression and when the bump is depressed by a car tyre it is pushed down, and the collected water together with the brushes cleans the front of the reflector so they don't need regular cleaning. A genious invention!

And for desserts, we gave you football, rugby cricket and tennis.

Caribbeans arriving in Britain after the war referred to it as "The Motherland". I grew up in this time and they had pictures of the Queen in their homes like anybody else.

Just about everything, thank god for the BRITISH.

There was a Brit who lived near me who invented the first storage capacity for the computer. lived in romiley Stockport greater Manchester in the uk

You two are so lovely, i enjoyed your reaction and as a Brit myself i never knew all of this, so I'm also getting educated. Stay blessed🙏

You will see people saying ending slavery was Britains greatest accomplishment...(and that was simply staggering in itself). Scientifically the British pushed the world into the modern age we enjoy today. (Also you can't go wrong with Pink Floyd) Much love ladies x

Today it's not GREAT Britain anymore....a real shame and something our government should be ashamed of.... two beautiful girls btw 😊

"Chlorinated water" = chlorine in the water. What you find in a swimming pool.

Flushing loo. Loo is polite British slang for toilet. The British didn't invent the toilet, they invented the flushing toilet.

If only more young people were critical thinkers like you two, well done.

Hey ladies 👊🏼 You two are like two rays of light that just burst into the room - sunshine smiles! 😎 Clearly, you are both authentic and have real energy and enthusiasm - love that... Thank you for sharing, God bless 🙏 Gus

And not to forget the world wide web, you wouldn't be seeing this without that 🇬🇧👍🏻

Hi, A cat's eye reflector, also called a road stud, is a raised marker on a road that helps drivers see the lane markings and edges of the road, especially at night or in low-visibility conditions. They are called cat's eyes because their reflective properties resemble a cat's eye reflecting light. Here's a breakdown of how they work: Retroreflection: The key component is a special material that reflects light directly back to its source. This means a driver's headlights hit the reflector and bounce right back towards the driver, making the stud appear very bright. Construction: The reflective bit is usually encased in a dome-shaped, tough plastic housing with a flexible rubber base. This allows them to flex when driven over and also helps keep the reflective surface clean. Cat's eye reflectors are very important for road safety, particularly when it's dark or foggy. They help drivers stay in their lane and avoid collisions.

The world's first pedal bicycle was invented by Kirkpatrick Mcmillan, a blacksmith living near Penpont in Dumfriesshire in Scotland in 1839. He even rode it to Glasgow in 1842, some 65 miles distant, but knocked over a pedestrian and was fined five shillings (25p).

Thanks for making this post, we are not that bad are we!

Great Britain invented the World, in a Shed, you could do Hundreds of hours of videos on British Inventions, & you would be surprised at just how many things Great Britain has given to the world.

Before he even started, I could think of 2 names who completely changed the world. Sir Isaac Newton and Sir Michael Faraday. Without Faraday, the modern world wouldn't exist. His work in electromagnetism enables us to generate electrical energy from mechanical energy.

Fair play to these ladies at least they're willing to look at what we've done good luck to them both 👍🇬🇧

Actually it was a Brit who invented the Jet engine. The Germans got hold of his designs and used it to actually build one first. The actual design was around in the early 1930s before the war but the British Government thought it was a ludicrous design and said No! 🙄

We still can't stop wars around the world, that would make me proud.🇬🇧🇬🇧

YOU TWO GIRLS ARE OK , YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MAKE OUR LIVES BETTER.

See the Bamber bridge incident …🇬🇧

Warehouses had a very bad name for catching on fire and were very expensive in the loss of goods and rebuilding because they were made of wood , an Englishman in kidyminster designed fire proof warehouses using metal for support and bricks for the fire proofing up to 5 floors , American architects expanded this design for taller buildings but with far better and lighter fire proofing materials hence the skyscrapers

Australian flag had British flag on it it’s right there on the video its a MASSIVE clue 😂😂 how can you miss that

Parliamentary democracy. Maga Carta!

Brits also invented the Hovercraft. A vehicle that can float on Land, or sea on a cushion of air. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h89xdMh8y9C1qKc.html Portsmouth is no longer the worlds only commercial Passenger service, with the resumption of the Noita (Japan) airport Hovercraft service, after they received 3 brand new craft.

The British invented Portland cement. Ordinary cement existed in Roman Empire, and was used to create the colosseum and many other buildings.

There is no doubt that Britain did some awful things in the countries we colonised but what was the rest of the world doing at the same time? Exactly the same, they conquered territory for financial gain. The main reason Britain was so successful at empire building wasn't because of brute force. It was because the countries would rather have Britain helping than the alternatives. Like it or not the world would be a much harsher, more dangerous place, lives would be much harder for the vast majority of people and life expectancy would be much lower than it is now. Simply put life is better for the majority of people now because of Britain.

Speaking as a white man born in the 80s, I feel proud of what we have achieved throughout the years. Black, Brown, white or anything else, if you were born under the the British flag, you deserve to share in her achievements of which there are many. The true British are of may colours, faiths and origins and that is what makes us what we are. THE BEST IN THE WORLD!

7:21 The cats eye reflector shows you where the road markings are in the dark, whilst driving, I.e the lane in the road, slip roads, lay-bys .. etc and are different colours.

Great to have a balanced view.

10:45 - lol not colonised water, it was *chlorinated water.*

Studies have shown about 40% of the world's inventions, innovations and scientific discoveries are British or hada major British input. So why has Britain led the world in scinetific and technologic advances? 1) The industrial revolution started here which gave us a massive headstart. In particular Jethro Tull's seed drill which freed up much of the population from a life of agricultural drudgery to do other things. Like a life of drudgery in the mills and factories.🤔😐 2) Britain was on of the first countries to have compulsory education and a high level of literacy. 3) Britain has some of the worlds oldest and best universities, especially Oxford & Cambridge that have long attracted many of the best minds in the world. 4) A culture that encourages new ideas and innovation and passed knowledge on rather than keeping it secret. In particular getting rid of the catholic church which frowned on anything which challenged their teachings. Burning people at the stake for heresey tends to stifle innovative thinking for some reason.🔥🔥🔥😱😱😱 5) Our great scientists and engineers are celebrated and taught about in our schools which inspires new generations. Other inventions and discoveries he missed out: Submarines, hovercraft, aircraft carriers, electric motors, chocolate bars, tooth brushes, thermos flasks, water proof clothing, IVF, cloning,, finger printing, photography, TV, radio, the telegraph, the world wide web, etc, etc.

Many countries colonised by the Brits, have become the best and richest on the planet.

😁🇬🇧 You are welcome world 🇬🇧😁

You two left me laughiing right at the end - the way you were signing off! You are both lovely!

Quite a lot of the achievements came out of the British academic institutions where the inventors had the time and resources to develop ideas. The Universities had the funding both from government and industry to allow developers to utilise as much time as needed and to draw from multiple other specialists to combine their expertise into one invention that gets attributed to the project leader. Even recently Oxford university was one of the front runners in developing the Covid vaccine utilising thousands of scientists from around the country and abroad.

This golden era will be thing of past when woke generation and islam take over

"Necessity is the mother of invension"

Pink Floyd - British band :-)

Just about everything you see in the modern world was invented in Britain and Northern European culture.

As a Brit i did not invent anything but i also did not enslave anything, proud to be white.

The bicycle was invented in Dumfries shire Scotland by Kirkpatrick Mcmillan

18:42 - THE BRITISH EDUCATION SYSTEM - I feel it all comes down to an excellent education system. Think about it.. Every single one of those world-altering inventors, discoverers, etc, had to have studied, learned & developed their respective disciplines from somewhere.

Joseph Swan invented the light bulb, that's why it was called the Edison Swan electric light company, also Hornsby Acroyd invented the compression ignition heavy oil (Diesel) engine.

Actually the jet engine was invented long before the Germans, it was a English RAF pilot called Frank Whittle that invented the jet engine FACT. The Germans did have a jet fighter in WW2 but they had stolen the plans of the jet engine from Frank Whittle, and Nazi Germany were the first to have a jet engine fighter but us British also had a Jet fighter near the end of WW2 but it was also much more superior to the Nazi German fighter in every way. 💂‍♂️💂‍♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

And as far as I know, we are very advanced with the micro chip, not that anyone’s supposed to know that🇬🇧🇬🇧📱💻

Those clever clever Brits, glad I'm one 😂

Hello Ladies So I'm British and we hear so many people say we should not have gone to Africa and just left Africa to itself . So I take it you don't agree with that ? Personally I think we contributed more than the bad bits. I do however think what we should not have given to Africa was machine guns Tanks and fighter planes. Not just us but other countries outside of Africa. All the positive stuff like medicine and railways and things like that yes definitely but the ability to kill thousands I think we should have withheld and let Africa develop them themselves over time. What do you think ?? Great video by the way 👍

One innovation can make a difference for the better when you pay attention to the world around you.

I think you misunderstood the occasional thing here and there, like cement. We didn’t invent cement, that’s actually been used since Roman times, or before actually. We just invented a new type of cement.

It's the men in sheds thing in the UK. They spend forever tinkering with stuff and every now and again, find something great.

The Brits did indeed think outside the box (funny enough Portland cement, invented to make bigger boxes. Go figure!)

They tell us we should be ashamed to be British....I for one I'm not!!

British common law. Without it Western civilisation would be very different.

Well said, ladies! 👌

Very very interesting. 😅

Hey ladies the most important thing that we invented is British is anti slavery and our navy hunted down slave ships 😮😮😮

Thoroughly enjoyed this - we Brits are accustomed to be regarded as "Bastards", however we are better bred bastards compared to others - for all our faults we did our best - warts and all! As the last and most recent empire we have to take all the flack on the chin - things could have been much worse! The Romans never had social media to worry about!

British and proud

That guy reminds me of cartoon time ! Rolf

You’re welcome 🇬🇧

Chlorinated water, not colonised water 😂 Basically we realised that by adding chlorine to our reservoirs, it stopped people getting sick…

The social way of life established within Britain is being currently recognised as having good Christian values, which has allowed to freedom of speech movement and thought. I would suggest that that allows for the wider potential for invention and development. In current trends if the day, we are all limited through strict banking limitations which restrict so much of growth and development in modern times.

Maxwell! a genius amongst genius.

He said the first town to have chlorinated water.ie safe drinking water

I'm just surprised y'all and all didn't realise we invented everything.

You're welcome

The greatest discovery of all time penicillin has saved the lives of countless millions.

Thank you for your open minds. No culture is without sin, sometimes a new way is harsh. Like the Romans in Europe. Our development is so troubled. People suffer. Its not right, the better we can be together should be our aim.

The Germans had access to British patents.

Look Up Britain's crusade against The Slave Trade

The British changed the world for the better basically

Bell was a Canadian who invented the phone in Brantford Ontario, he was a scotts.

WEF Guardian paper will lie and say everything was invented in africa or middle east lol😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂

lol…. Glad to hear you two appreciate the skill and talents of pink Floyd! 👌😃

As a brit you are welcome

We,us brits banned slavery in 1807

Look for a video about World War 2, Bamber Bridge incident.

Love you girls 😂❤️

chlorinated water allowed peop;e to drink it straight from the tap, it sterilised the water, it still used today, but has been very controversial.

Did you hear when he said flushing loo 🚻
