I love the British people despite the past history that had taken place. They were the first to put an end to slavery, and I won't remain bitter as it was the past and you cannot change that. I am from the english speaking caribbean islands, most islands except Barbados still view Britain particularly England, as the Motherland (I do not mean homeland). Some of my best childhood memories included reading British literature, I can see why most native British people are proud of their country, their achievements are impressive.

[@Ronald-wv1bz]

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.

Thank you ❤🇬🇧

[@Cromwelldunbar]

@@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…

They probably heard of the city but I don’t think they ever actually found it. There’s no evidence of them ever finding it. No physical evidence of the Spanish speak of. However, it is believed the city was abandoned for mainly two reasons. Fear of a Spanish invasion AND an outbreak that killed many of the Incas living in the region.

You can read Shirers fact based The Rise and Fall of the third Reich, but it will be mostly a view on the German side of affairs. You have to look for the other views elsewhere. That’s a shame but it can’t be helped because it would never end. England especially has history all over the world, when you would show everything in detail you would sit here for months or years. The only one taking all accounts and show every little connection is Strachans Oxford book on WW1. And that is a though and brutal read because there is no red line. You need to jump all around the world and remember what happend a lot of chapters before. But it is a complete overview in amazing detail.

[@area9364]

What a naive idiot😂😂. British divided people based on caste more than anybody else. Their whole motto was divide and rule.

[@arunnair7584]

The British colonial administration significantly influenced and rigidified the caste system in India through various policies and actions. They formalized caste distinctions via the census, integrated caste into the legal system, and reinforced economic and social disparities by favoring upper castes in land tenure, employment, and education. The introduction of the 'Martial Races' theory and separate electorates further entrenched caste divisions. These measures exacerbated existing tensions, made social mobility more difficult, and perpetuated economic inequalities, shaping the socio-political landscape of modern India.

[@HypeGurl24]

No they didn't

[@arunnair7584]

@@HypeGurl24 Anthropologist Susan Bayly writes that "until well into the colonial period, much of the subcontinent was still populated by people for whom the formal distinctions of caste were of only limited importance, even in parts of the so-called Hindu heartland… The institutions and beliefs which are now often described as the elements of traditional caste were only just taking shape as recently as the early 18th Century". In fact, it is doubtful that caste had much significance or virulence in society before the British made it India's defining social feature. The pre-colonial written record in royal court documents and traveller accounts studied by professional historians and philologists like Nicholas Dirks, GS Ghurye, Richard Eaton, David Shulman and Cynthia Talbot show little or no mention of caste. Social identities were constantly malleable. "Slaves" and "menials" and "merchants" became kings; farmers became soldiers, and soldiers became farmers; one's social identity could be changed as easily as moving from one village to another; there is little evidence of systematic and widespread caste oppression or mass conversion to Islam as a result of it. All the available evidence calls for a fundamental re-imagination of social identity in pre-colonial India. The picture that one should see is of astonishing diversity. What the colonisers did through their reading of the "sacred" texts and the institution of the census was to try to frame all of that diversity through alien categorical systems of religion, race, caste and tribe. The census was used to simplify - categorise and define - what was barely understood by the colonisers using a convenient ideology and absurd (and shifting) methodology.

Interesting, virtually all of the narrative about the Mayflower around 31:45 is a near direct copy of what is written in the Wikipedia article for the Mayflower: "The ships set sail for America around August 5, but Speedwell sprang another leak shortly after, which necessitated the ships' return to Dartmouth for repairs. They made a new start after the repairs, but more than 200 miles (320 km) beyond Land's End at the southwestern tip of England, Speedwell sprang a third leak. It was now early September, and they had no choice but to abandon Speedwell and make a determination on her passengers." and, "When Mayflower sailed from Plymouth alone on September 16 [O.S. September 6], 1620, with what Bradford called "a prosperous wind",  29  she carried 102 passengers plus a crew of 25 to 30 officers and men, bringing the total aboard to approximately 130. At about 180 tons, she was considered a smaller cargo ship, having traveled mainly between England and Bordeaux with clothing and wine, not an ocean ship." and, "In mid-ocean, the ship came close to being totally disabled and might have had to return to England or risk sinking. A storm had so badly damaged its main beam that even the sailors despaired. By a stroke of luck, one of the colonists had a metal jackscrew that he had purchased in Holland to help in the construction of the new settler homes. They used it to secure the beam, which kept it from cracking further, thus maintaining the seaworthiness of the vessel."

Also, including more traditional paintings, newspaper headlines, political cartoons, etc. from the time periods would be really nice to break up the Map to AI to Map to AI to Map, etc. flow. It'll kinda cleanse the pallete so to speak. Really cool overall though.

You can tell it's Ai by the voice and image patters. When Ai creates an image of photo quality, you can tell because there are details that Ai struggl3s to replicate. It's a good idea to learn up on, because media Literacy skills are important, so you can recognize which comments in comment sections are Ai bots or if images used in news articles are from the correct date and related to the story that is being narrated.

You stated that in the Old testament, marrying your brother's widow was banned. That's wrong. Marrying your brother's widow was customary in those times for the very reason you stated. If anything, the reason Henry wanted a divorce was because if he did have a son, that son would have been his brother's heir and not his.
