The first to abolish slavery was limited to the American colonies where they were the first to profit in the African slave trade. However they continued forced indigenous servitude ( slavery ) in Australia, India, China, South Africa and numerous additional colonies in Africa and the East Indies.

Thanks for the bit of knowledge@@Ronald-wv1bz

Thank you ❤🇬🇧

@@Ronald-wv1bz Well reminded: and I would add ie include Ethiopia ie Abyssinia where sometime slavery aspects were practically enshrined in empirical custom [ I wonder how Haile Selasse would have explained that in the 1930s had anyone asked him…]; when finally British and Allied troops found that out after accepting the final Italian surrender at end November 1941, they made their liberation and restoration of Haile Selasse’s empire conditional on the total abolition of that traditional slavery. I suspect there were other aspects of slavery existing covert in remotely administered areas of British, French and Belgian colonialisation more concerned with “turning a blind eye to keep peace” than earnest endeavour to impose rights over wrongs to people who knew little difference and possibly appreciated crusts of bread more than questionable freedom to roam around not knowing what to do and even less how to do it, not to say telling the difference between a threatening human thug and a ferocious wild animal. When all is said and done, by the end of the Middle Ages apart from Russia and areas of Eastern Europe, slavery had ended. Yet the concept of slavery became practically “reborn” along wth the newfound concepts of profit, via observations of the practice in Northern Africa where it existed unquestioned held within the Ottoman Empire and other Muslim areas (the Sudan). The rest is history: merchants trade their wares to African chieftains who possessed only human beings to pay and said merchants trading their human prisoners captive on board their vessels to immigrant Europeans in America desperate for human labour for profit from their cotton empires. Oh the pity of it all! Human labour ie human beings…largely ignorant of basic knowledge yet hardly unfeeling of not only their physical daily pain but of their unexplained mental pain as well. Add to that, the total wanton and inexcusable ignorance of so many…of the very name of William Wilberforce, MP, RIP… Indeed, whither the thought as to whether the effort was ever worth the trouble…. As in the Holy Testament KJV the Holy Gospel according St Matthew: “By their fruits, ye shall know them…” Amen…

You realise we've been lied to A LOT, if you learn your history you will understand that England was just fighting for their survival right up to the present day, peace 🎉

it was the greatest empire

No empire in history should be described as "great". They all built what they had through the murder and continued, systematic, and ruthless exploitation of their fellow human beings. Can you explain what about that was great?

@@mhrcracing shut up leftie

​@@mhrcracingLmao without slavery society most likely wouldn't be here, atleast as we know it today. And murder, torture, cruelty and destruction is just human nature, We've been doing that since the beginning, still doing it in the present and will be doing it untill our end, Just because we've pretended to be some loving, caring and helpful species the last century or two doesn't change anything.

to be exact in greatest terms. It comes below the ranking of Isreal (colony of USA).

Thanks!!

The images are annoyingly all AI but still good. If you want evidence go to 23:12 and look at the faces of the people in the background.

@@Minikitty130 I know they are AI haha

Before any documentary I watch I know it'll be packed full of wrong info and anti European bias. It's status quo now.. Most "history" channels are ran by people who just read Wikipedia and regurgitate the same old crap. And most people just blindly absorb it. They never question it or consider it. Just mindlessly accept anything that comes with a video. Very sad. Sucks for people like us who are able to decipher this kinda stuff and stuck not being able to enjoy these documentaries because we are aware of the problems.

Good, don't watch.

So can you give us a good factual documentary?

agreed, hallmark AI

@@JoeyArmstrong2800 - Good ? You mean it's good to be inaccurate? To make errors? To be biased ?

Appreciate the support :) We tried to skim through the beginning to get straight to the exploration years. Our video "The Entire History of the British Monarchy" - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f714g5p72d_Vqp8.html goes through a lot of the earlier history.

@@BeginningToNoww no you certainly didn't. Your group ignored everything positive about the British Empire, and took tiny bits of information, misunderstood them, took them out of context, and created entire false victimhood narratives based on your own biases.

the new empire

lol no the united states dominates. britain isnt close but they are still a major player financially

@@garyreid7865 the united states has significantly more financial influence

They haven't dominated the finance system since pre-WWII. Since then, the dollar became the reserve currency. Furthermore, the Brits were still paying off their debt (to the U.S.) in the early 2000s😂😂😂😂😂

America is basically Britain 2.0. America started out as British colonies. The founding fathers of America were British. They were born in Britain, fought in the British military, and their mother tongue was English. Only 1/3 of Americans actually wanted independence from the British Empire at the time. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say America was founded by British people. I'm proud to see our American offspring thriving.

Cheers :)

No it isn't. It's Anti-British trash

This video is nothing but false victimhood narratives. It totally slips a huge amount of valid information that totally reverses this Anti-British trash.

Learn your history kid.

@@britishpatriot7386 are you kidding? Read some sources to improve your knowledge

Now that would be interesting. Until recently I didn't know just how rich Ethiopian history is and how advanced they really were before my own nation England. Respect from England.

Oh my god stop crying 😂😂😂

They killed Harold! Those barstads!

William the Bartender? No truly how could the AI leave that part out. I was rooting for Harald too, but they broke ranks too quickly, and eventually William got the upper hand.

Great Britain didn't exist then.

This royal throne of kings, this sceptered isle, This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, This other Eden, demi-Paradise, This fortress built by Nature for herself Against infection and the hand of war, This happy breed of men, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea, Which serves it in the office of a wall, Or as a moat defensive to a house, Against the envy of less happier lands; This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England, This nurse, this teeming womb of royal kings, Fear'd by their breed and famous by their birth, Renownèd for their deeds as far from home, For Christian service and true chivalry As is the sepulcher in stubborn Jewry Of the world's ransom, blessed Mary's Son-- This land of such dear souls, this dear dear land, Dear for her reputation through the world . . .

No it isn't. It is full of Anti-British trash, through never covering the full stories, and skipping all the good things that the British Empire did... which far outweigh any negative effects.

No it isn't. It's full of Anti-British trash, and blatant lies and partial stories, taken out of context, misunderstood, and then expounded upon, creating a ridiculously childish, false victimhood narrative history of the Empire

No it isn't. It's blatantly obvious that it's about taking fragments of history out of context, misunderstanding them, and creating an absurd, entirely false victimhood narrative for attacking British history.

Anti European bias is rampant in everything now. Americans don't give a shit about smearing England. It's academia and certain special interests who push this hatred of white people. You think white people woke up one day and decided to demoralize themselves and hate tjemselves? Hmm.. If you are still that naive then there's no hope for you.

True. One day the brits will get the recognition for the good stuff uk gave to the world like the Romans and Greeks do today. Which is far more than those small empires.

Soon!

Get over it cupcake

As a many others things. Black legend is a british lie for hiding own misery

So to your logic, the « tons of gold nicked » by the Brits had no massive inflationary effect upon England’s economy…How so? Did they manage it better?

@@Cromwelldunbar yes, they built ships, a navy thus "rule brittania, brittannia brittannia rules the waves", thus the empire. spain used the gold internally which just inflated away its value in the internal economy and dispersed that wealth internationally buying luxury perishables from trade ruled by the english navy

The price of manipulating history, it was not cheap certainly. And maybe is because the gold went already trough that route, because latitude 42 was the one to return to america, hence the interest of the catalans and spanish monarchy to have links with england

@@Cromwelldunbarthe gains went to the privateers or naturalised english citizens, for example cabot,hawkins, john of st john, etc but the way all of these 3 names ( including the brothers Cabot) are Catalan Native speakers, naturalised english in 16 century

@@xavisanchez7522 the privateers held paper from the english crown. if you didnt hold papers you were not a privateer, you were a pirate. lots of the gold wen to the crown, to more ships.
