British Imperialism

[chrismpw]

This is what many modern historians and folk forget when debating topics such as imperialism and enpires.

Back then it was a dog eat dog world - we were invaded and we also did invasions.

If it wasnt us it would have been someone else and alot of us wouldnt have the economy/lifestyle we do now had the country never acquired its wealth over the course of its history.

This is true.
Of course since having been conquered by the french in 1066 - we remain under french control, apart from where the Germans wrested control by shagging our royal families.

Belgium were the worst.

Still are. From nothing they enveloped he whole of Europe with bureaucracy.

Unless lubing up small rodents and fingering them has been legalised I'm going to go with that.

You cant compare actions of nations from centuries ago to modern day standards.

What were human rights back then?
What were womens rights?
What did people think about people of other races?
What were animal rights?
What were workers rights?
What were civil rights?
Our King chopped the heads of his multiple wives off - if Prince William did that today he would be banged up in strangeways for life.

History teaches us that human existence was a dog eat dog world for most of its time - thankfully we are now alot more civilised in most parts.

What time periods can you compare to each other?

What historical periods can we compare today to?

Could argue that imperialism created a stronger bourgeoisie and kept all us serfs suitably subdued.

The main problem with people today is they forget that 99.9% are serfs . If they don't behave the place can't run properly.

Another one of your pipe dreams ! How are we more civilized when someone wants to take over Newcastle and all are up in arms about their civil rights ?
Women's rights ? They still aren't paid the same in your eutopia
What do people think today about other races ,I ask you ?
Animals no comment
Workers rights, they are being sacked off left right and centre ask Branson.
Civil rights ? Everyone has been locked up for weeks and pensioners have 12 more to encounter/suffer .
We don't have a king but...........

Its legacy has done much to camouflage Britain's early-to-mid-20th-century passage out of real geopolitical relevance.
