This episode of Ten Minute History (like a documentary, only shorter) covers the birth and rise of the British Empire from the reign of Henry VII all the way to the American Revolution. The first part deals with the Tudors and their response to empire in Spain (as well as the Spanish Armada). The second part deals with England's (and later Britain's) establishment of its own empire in North America and India. It then concludes with the Seven Years' War and the American Revolution.

Ten Minute History is a series of short, ten minute animated narrative documentaries that are designed as revision refreshers or simple introductions to a topic. Please note that these are not meant to be comprehensive and there's a lot of stuff I couldn't fit into the episodes that I would have liked to. Thank you for watching, though, it's always appreciated.

@Cian Doyle People need to stop looking at this from a modern lense. Like all empires, the British empire was formed of exploitation and bloodshed, but that was something any country/region did if they had the opportunity, Britain just did it really well. This isnt to say the British empire wasn’t violating human rights and committing acts of evil, but back then It was justified, and now in the present day there have come many benefits from it, a fairly universal language for example.

The tradition gets even stranger with it being seen as more appropriate to die early in the morning, since people would have found out sooner. George V agreed to be killed if it looked like his death would have had to be announced in the evening paper, because they were less popular and people were more busy.

The Scottish colony in Panama was the Dunning-Kruger Effect writ large. Establishing a colony at the narrowest point between the Atlantic and the Pacific in order to connect both through shipping. It just didn't occur to them that some Spanish guy might have already thought of it in the preceding 200 years, and that it not already having been done might be due to it not being geographically possible. Which it wasn't. There is a reason for why Spain was already using the longer overland route through Mexico from Veracruz to Acapulco for the purpose.

Probably a mistake on this one, as the person included in this video was the first since the vikings to land in Canada (Columbus was undoubtedly the first European to land in North America since the viking age, landing in the Caribbean).

A Very Kind Guy Sure "it doesnt't matter to us". Then why do I find out plenty of comments like that one. If you wouldn't care you wouldn't try to deny the Spanish merit after more than 500 years.

Grort is right. There is plenty of evidence that vikings were the first non-indigenous people to set foot in North America.

The Captain There are plenty of web sites that confirm such "evidences" are not valid at all. Spaniards were the first Europeans in reaching America by discovering the whole continent to the rest of the world.

_What were some of the motivations behind English exploration?_ Trade. The British Empire, according to novelist Edward Rutherfurd, was actually illegal under the terms of the unwritten English constitution. But being a small archipelago with dwindling natural resources but a vigorous manufacturing base, trade became the main reason to ignore that and grow an Empire that encompassed 1/3 of the world.
