You left New Zealand off the entire map. And from the Commonwealth.
And then they lost everything.
New zealand doesn't exist 😂
@@vijayvisht5499no. they just reprogrammed
We've gone from an empire, to a third world slum in a very short period of time.
The British Empire (UK), owes its "Greatness" to Piracy, Slavery, Looting, to Opium Trafficking, and to the 12 Genocides committed in Africa, Australia, Tasmania, America, the Middle East, India and China. All over the world! Shame! And, it also owes its "Greatness" to the Assassinations of Gov't Leaders and the weakness of many Sovereign Nations. Jeezzz!!!
You are what you conquer 😂
Serves you right 😂😂

It's crazy how much the British empire ruled and to see the state of Britain today.

It is because of the Empires' addiction to make everyone British that we have such problems now, much like the US insist on telling everyone they are the greatest country in the world, so everyone wants to go and see.
Republic of Ireland became independent on the 6th of December 1921 as Anglo-Irish Treaty was signed
No
We date the founding of the Irish State to 21 Jan 2019 when the first Dail met, declared independence and the Irish war of independence began the same day.
@@ed70021919?
@@ed7002 wrong. Takes like five mins to find out the Irish government and country officially recognise 6th of December 1921
Every Irish child knows this from school.
The map has some errors. Ireland got independance in 1919 and wasn't part of British commonwealth (except north Ireland). Egypt got independance in 1936 and Jordan in 1946, Israel in 1948, they were no longer parts of the British empire at that point. For some reason the map didn't update. By the way, why Canada, Australia and South africa were dissapeared from the British empire at 1930's? They were already independent much before.
Also forgot about Gibraltar
Canda and Australia are still part of the Empire bc they are under the crown.
Belize gained independence in the 1980s. Too many errors, I wouldn't rely on that graphic as legit.
It was 1922 for Irish Independence not 1919.
Canada didn't become independent until 1982. King Charles III is still King of Canada.
You messed up Republic of Ireland, it was independent long before 1970.
In Antarctica, the international treaty governs, according to which there is no sovereignty of any
country 2:22
Prior to the treaty, many nations staked claims in Antarctica. The Norwegian claim is huge and, according to the treaty, unrecognized.
The portion of Antarctica that lies just South of Tierra del Fuego has been administered by Argentina since the year 1900 it basically has about 2/3 of the area shown on red South of Argentina. The international community will meet again in the year 2048 to confirm Sovereignty to those who have a designated territory down there or whether some changes would have to be made.
Also, the islands next the southern Argentina went from Argentina (1820-1832) to Britain (since 1833) following the attack from the USS Lexington a war ship which went there to destroy the Argentine Settlement in 1832 as a result of retaliation on the part of the americans who were hunting whales and seals without a proper permit
It doesn't even include London anymore

Hahaha, that's hilarious
@@manoloxxl8776 Show me anywhere that is habitable that hasn't been "occupied" by one group or another throughout recorded history, what I do know is that they brought infrastructure, law, medicine the ending of tribal warfare and open slavery wherever the Union Jack waved.
Or put another way imposed rules, values and a view on the ‘correct’ social order through colonisation and imperialism.
Many inaccuracies-the ceding of Newfoundland, for example, was ten years off and, for another example, the Falklands seems to have been totally forgotten.
And it is a map without New Zealand or pacific islands.
And horrendous mistakes with the Asian possessions after World War II, Kenya, Bechuanaland.... The list goes on. Utterly unreliable video.
Las islas Canarias, las islas Azores y las de Cabo Verde nunca fueron británicas. Y hay más inexactitudes siempre a favor de la extensión del Imperio Británico en el continente americano

@@gulabchandkumawat9714Britain had a good economy long before it started conquering other places.
The expansion of the British Empire began with supremacy at sea in the late 16th Century under QEI. The peak of the British Empire was shortly after WWI. After WWII the British Empire went into a continuous decline.
Correct , and thanks for saving me the bother , excellent piece of history in short sentence .
Et sont petits frères les États-Unis à pris le relais. Le monde est resté au mains des anglo-saxons
@@mrm0max Yes. U.S. was a colony of the Brits specially in the east. Let’s not forgot Canada, Australia and New Zealand. U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia and New Zealand still coordinate closely in intelligence. The rise of the U.S. as a world power started shortly after the American Civil War with railroads, oil, electricity, etc. and the defeat of the Spanish in 1898. Superpower status during and specially right after WWII. U.S. was so powerful that in 1944 it helped assemble two massive armadas to invade Europe on June 6th and the Mariana Islands on June 15th.
They were in decline way before WW1. Germany and America exported like 90% of all product just before WW1. A few decades before that Britain dominated the export trade. They were begging Germany for money just before WW1
@@brucejensen3081 You’re talking about economy which is true. I was talking about territory.
You showed Botswana in red until the end. It was Beuchanaland until 1966 when it won independence and changed its name
You forgot to include Belize AKA British Honduras.
Also New Zealand, Malta, Gibraltar.
@@homomorphicAlso forgot Hong Kong
To all the British haters, we were not without fault but for centuries the British were the tip of the spear, forging ahead to drive the human race forward. The human suffering and cruelty caused , however sad , was a price in the end probably worth paying when you weigh it against the benefits to mankind that it brought. Unfortunatelu you cant make an omlette without breaking some eggs. Before you all start bashing the British stop and look at everything you surround your life with, because the British invented/created 95% of it, so dont revell in all the comforts of modern day life and then moan about how you got them as it stinks of hypocrisy.
No for centuries muslim spear will be up to your arses.
Because of the Brits, African countries and other nations are suffering today because your country enslave them and exploit their wealth. Now the river want its banks back again that's why they coming in so much
U forgot to remove Ireland after WW1, it wasn’t occupied in WW2
Gibraltar should be in red after the Spanish Succession War. Nice video though!
Not for long
Canarias should not be in red, cabo verde and azores too
So many mistakes, I'm afraid
@You wish, onion breath.miguelruiz5727
Indians should thank britain for unifying india, otherwise it would've remained like present day africa, with no territorial unity, concurrent civil wars, geneocides, diseases and famines.
India instead of celebrating independence day, should be celebrating the day of it's unification.
The famines happened under British rule. There hasn’t been a single famine after independence. The Brits didn’t actually come to unify India but is a consequence of their stay here.
@@subhashishdeb6602
Only famine that was caused by british was in bengal during world war 2.
Brtish along with other colonialists actually increased the agricultural productivity of india during their reign, by bringing in crops like potatos, papaya, maize, peanuts, sugarcane, rubber, guava, avocado, carrots, tomatos etc
There wasn't a single famine in india, since independence. The reason is UNITED NATIONS was formed after ww2 and they aided the indian govt to feed the poor, even at the time of drought or at the time of redundant food supply.
There are droughts in india even till this day, which could've caused famines.
@@subhashishdeb6602
British fought against durrani empire, mughals, mysore sultanates, bengal nawab, marathas and sikhs to form the bulk of india & kept many regions under their control as princely states letting the indegenous kings to rule and collect taxes, just like as they did before.
If there weren't any british interference, delhi would be under the afghans, because of durrani invasions, south india will be under tipu, hyderabad will be under the nizams or have been conquered by mysore, bengal will be under the afghan nawabs, northern deccan will be under marathas, and princely states like rajasthan, gujarat, j&k might have remained as sovereign countries or defeated by durrani- rohilla/oudh coalition
While I agree with some of the details you have provided, when the British took over India Marathas and Sikhs were the dominant powers in India. The Mughals were actually under the protection of the Scindias.
@@subhashishdeb6602 Durranis defeated marathas in majority of the battles they have engaged in. After battle of panipat, maratha empire was weakened.
Pakistan was under durrani control, there was an imminent threat of a full scale invasion of the subcontinent, just like what the mughals did in 16th century and durrani at that period was allied with the afsharids of iran & rohillakhand of awadh, india and had ethnical ties with bengal sultanate
British curtailed scope of such an invasion, by their direct military engagement against afghans and pushed them back to the boundaries of pakistan that exists to this day.
Me encanta, que pongas las islas Canarias, Azores, Madeira y Cabo Verde, como británicas es un poco peculiar, no sabía que Florida era de Inglaterra tampoco 😂😂😂

Thank God.. the british colonial conquest was incredibly cruel and arrogant.
@@LindaGrey-wm9uc nonsense. You know nothing of history and accept too much angle from the perspecs of the sad and pathetic culture you like in. British colonial history is not so much a conquest as a humanitarian and trade endeavour. Of course there were abuses and the fatal impact causes disease and native societal imbalances but they gave so much treasure to the world they entered. No Maori has ate another Maoru since 1841! This is why the chief declared "stay with us, be our governor, resolve our disputes." Wherever the British went no Mao, Hitler Stalin (responsible for 270 million deaths) could follow because they gave the principles of civll society.
But we did it. Suck on that!@@LindaGrey-wm9uc
@@LindaGrey-wm9uc Maybe. It was also the greatest leap forward the world has ever seen.

German East Africa (1885-1919) was the same size as the modern Tanzania, Ruanda and Burundi combined, but the map makes it look smaller than Kenya and Uganda. During the First World War (1914-1918) the commander of the German East Africa Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck with a force of about 14,000 (3,000 Germans and 11,000 Africans) held in check a much larger force of 300,000 British, Indian, Belgian, and Portuguese troops.
What about the Falkland islands?
It could be said that the first century, the last part of the last century, and territories such as Antarctica are superfluous in the sequence.
Ah, the good old days.
@@KevTheImpaler Yes, but very old days
This is an incorrect depiction of Ireland. We obtained our independence from Britain (excluding 6 of the 32 counties in Northern Ireland) in 1922.
Nice video. One suggestion is to alert the viewer to where on the map something is going to turn red or clear next. For larger countries, their turning red grabs attention, but for the smaller ones one misses change in colour in a small region on the outer parts of the world map.
Hong Kong was established as a colony of the British Empire after the Qing dynasty ceded Hong Kong Island in 1841-1842 as a consequence of losing the First Opium War. The colony expanded to the Kowloon Peninsula in 1860 and was further extended when the United Kingdom obtained a 99-year lease of the New Territories in 1898.The territory was handed over from the United Kingdom to China in 1997
First notice that England had the Canary Island, Cabo Verde and the Azores. Specially those places were heavily defeated by the spanisg
Can you do of ottoman empire and Persian Empire too?
Why bother🇬🇧
Kerguelen DID have some British activity, mostly during the ages of discovery and commercial whaling. But by 1892, France had asserted (or reasserted) its claim over the Kerguelen Islands.
And now we are being invaded..... breaks my heart

@@omarfrancis7685 no it's called the 1st and 2nd world war. You no to actually stop pure evil
And our politicians still think we have an obligation to support some of those old colonies,and it costs us billions.

Ireland didn’t leave the empire until 1971?????? Untrustworthy map for sure.
I had no idea the british empire was so damn small before 1700.
Nice videos!
THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN!
Canada, despite the Statute of Westminster, didn't leave the British Empire until they patriated their Constitution in the 1980s.
You don't have your own nation if your constitution is a law of another government and are merely autonomous because the parent nation allows it.
You forgot Malta, who became indipendent in 1964
Wtf is new Zealand off every map? It was very much part of the British empire. Actually a third of the land sea territory is omitted..the south west pacific!!!
@DoniMaps So what about New Zealand? Do you see that as so insignificant that you don't even see the need to show it on your map?
Yes
I think Canada and Australia are independent states/countrys within Brittish commonwealth/empire. So technically Australië and Canada is still Brittish empire. Also i didnt see Hongkong added in this video.
As a Mr Marx said: Property is theft.
At it's peak the Brits had the largest empire in the world
@@specialandroid1603 I think the largest was under Felipe II of Spain.
The Faroe Islands were never part of the Empire. Perhaps you confused them with the Shetlands.

Scotland was not conquered as part of the British Empire, it was joined in the union of crowns in 1603, the Act of Union in 1707, joined the 4 nations together until Eire broke away.
James VI and I (James Charles Stuart; 19 June 1566 - 27 March 1625) was King of Scotland as James VI from 24 July 1567 and King of England and Ireland as James I from the union of the Scottish and English crowns on 24 March 1603 until his death in 1625, but Scotland and N. Ireland was always a part of Great Britain (the Island), that is not something England devised.
The British Empire also has the title of most evil Empire ever as it is estimated it killed over 100 million people in its conquests.
Scotland should be there right from the start. There was no Britain without Scotland. It was just England at the time
Wales, Scotland and NI are English colonies.
@user-wm2tw the parliament in Scotland voted to create the act of union in 1704 to create great Britain. About 100 years before that, it was a Scottish king that united the separate kingdoms of England and Scotland into one kingdom. Scotland has never been anyone's colony. Not even the Romans were able to make it one. India prior to independence is what you call a colony. If you still don't understand the difference
I am increasingly proud the british were there in Bengal, honestly and serioussly.
Map got it wrong on Ireland.
Sure, it didn't take long for you guys to make a mistake. 1607 Jamestown Virginia first permanent English settlement in the New World.

Britain also invaded the northern part of Russia's Kola Peninsula and also occupied the southern region of Vietnam.
According to what source?
Newfoundland became part of Canada in 1949, not 1959.
According to the video, Republic of Ireland got independent only in 1972 but to make up for the late date, together with Northern Ireland. How weird.
The British, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Dutch & so on, carved - up the world between us (we took the most). Now it’s coming back to bite us…
You missed French Arcadia turned into British Novia Scotia in 1713.
Falkland Islands and Hong Kong??
That little red spot in South Africa? Massive crater formed by an asteroid millions of years ago, major source of diamonds and rare minerals....
What about Falklands?
Map is incorrect as Ireland has not been part of the British Empire since 1921.
Irish Free State was a dominion under the treaty, same status as Canada, Australia etc. Last link wasn't cut til 1949 and Republic declared in law.
I thing I noticed was that American Red Indians tribes were alive till 1750s and they are practically zero in the Americas

Thank you for producing this video. Two observations. The Faroe islands have never been part of the British Empire. The Falklands (which are still British) were never highlighted. Thank you.

Colonization and trade destroyed the Ottoman Caliphate monopoly
After World War II, Britain regained all of its Asian possessions, such as Malaya, Sarawak, North Borneo, Brunei, Hong Kong, etc. None of that is reflected in this map. The more I look at it, the more blatant errors I find.
Great animation. It seems you left out the Falklands off Argentina though.
Tangier was briefly held by England from 1661 to 1684.
Fun to watch but there are quite a few inaccuracies. You placed British Honduras (Belize) too far south on the coast of Nicaragua and the once independent Dominion of Newfoundland which rejoined the British Empire due to economic problems joined Canada in March of 1949. Also the panhandle portion of Russian Alaska seemed missing. Even if Britain had claims further west among the mountains of the panhandle, Russian Alaska clearly extended further south along the coast.
Thank you for pointing that out. I highly respect comments that don't just say "inaccurate"
