There are few places that entice the imagination quite like England. Just a little island off the western coast of continental Europe, it boasts a rich history that stretches all the way back to the first modern humans. Since then, entire societies have risen and fallen as people learned to make flint and bone tools, bury their dead, and fortify their cities against foreign raiders. From the fearsome Celtic warriors of prehistory to the clever inventors and statesmen of the modern era, England’s story is one bursting with magnificent castles, complex kings and queens, rebellious peasants, and horrifying plagues.
Throughout history, more people have called England home than perhaps most of us have ever realized.

Small thing, Julius Caesar was not an Emperor. He was the last Dictator of the Roman Republic. His nephew, Octavian was the first emperor

[@neolezar123]

Yeah I'm surprised no one caught that. It was the assassination of Julius Caesar that led to the creation of the Roman Empire. Also, I dont think Julius Caesar was a dictator when he was in Britannia because he was there to gain glory to win over the Roman Senate

[@VeganDiyeBiri]

I noticed that mistake too. So stupid!

[@CaptivatingHistory]

It has been brought to our attention that certain things in the video need corrections or clarification: • When the Romans ruled England, they would not have called it England. They named it Provincia Britannia (“Province of Britain”). When Vortigen arrived on the scene in around 450, the island would have been called something else; scholars refer to it now as sub-Roman Britain. To keep things simpler, we elected to use England throughout. However, Britain would have been a better term to use in some instances. For example, Caesar sent an expedition to Britain, not just England. The Romans withdrew troops from Britain, leaving Britain to defend itself. • :36 - A picture of potatoes is shown. Potatoes were not introduced to England until the 16th century. • :41 - A picture is shown of L’Anse aux Meadows. This settlement is located in Canada, and it is a Viking site. • Around :50 - The video makes it sound like the Celts were responsible for the start of the Bronze Age in Britain. They came along during this period (around 1000 BCE), but they did not start it. • Around 1:00 - Stonehenge was not built by the Celts. It was thought to be built by the Neolithic people in around 3000 BCE. • Around 1:06 - Julius Caesar was not an emperor of Rome. He was a dictator who paved the way for the Roman Empire to take shape. He also did not go to Britain to conquer it; he claimed that Rome invaded the island in the name of self-defense. • Around 1:22 - The Romans did not rule Britain for 600 years. Altogether, they ruled Britain for around 367 years. • Around 1:40 - Hadrian’s Wall first began construction around 122. • Around 2:08 - Vortigen invited Saxons to help him deal with the Picts and the Scots, not Danes. • Around 3:01 - Harold Godwinson was known as Harold II, not Harold I. • Around 3:40 - William the Conqueror was succeeded by his son, William III. John I of England took the throne in 1199. • Around 4:07 - It sounds as if the Black Death lasted for one hundred years and started during Henry III’s reign. The Black Death began in 1347 (long after Henry III), and it ended in the 1350s, although it would come back in waves for many years. • Around 4:26 - Arthur was not killed. He died from some kind of illness; people attribute his death to the English sweating sickness, tuberculosis, influenza, or the plague. • Around 6:47 - Charles I died on January 30th, 1649. • Around 8:55 - Queen Victoria died in 1901, not 1902. • Around 9:36 - Germany declared war on France on August 3rd, 1914, two days after declaring war on Russia. • Around 11:19 - It should be clarified that Britain was not behind the Moon Landing. However, British engineers worked on it, and millions in Britain tuned in to watch it. We apologize for the inaccuracies presented in the video and will strive to do better in future ones.

[@marionpfander8752]

I also expected to see the now present Queen Elizabeth mentioned with her coronation after her father's death . Why not ?? The moon landing or even the fashion and music " achievements " looked out of place . It would be nice to correct all inaccuracies and revise the end to the current ruler of England if you indeed want to stick to your topic which is English history . A film with correct events / people / dates / locations ... will make better informed and definitely happier viewers .

[@xxFortunadoxx]

The video states that Rome ruled Britain for 600 years. That is wrong. The authors have corrected this in a comment by stating that Rome ruled Britain for 367 years. This is also incorrect. This number was reached by taking Claudius' campaigns in 43 CE to around 410 when Rome was sacked. Claudius' campaigns began Roman conquest in Britain, but was truly conquered by Rome in 85 CE with the invasion and victory of Scotland by Agricola. Britain effectively lost control of Britain around 402 CE when the unofficial regent Stilicho recalled all soldiers from Britain to help defend against the Visigoths invasion of Roman territory. So around 317 years of rule.

I'm sorry, but what did England have to do with the Moon Landing other than watching it on TV? 👍

[@richard6440]

The Americans landed on the Moon , because England did not go there first. Why not? because there was no one to colonize. :)

Auther was killed?

Very interesting history of England 💙

[@hellohellohistory7727]

Great story, this English history :)

[@hayaafareen1022]

The duration of bronze age is wrong. It is not 800 CE. It's 800 BC

[@liamlovell3693]

Completely missed Henry the 5th who was one of Englands most important kings and u didn’t even mention him find a better source than Wikipedia 😂

[@unpataunpata]

BC AND AD PLEASE

[@traceyboswell]

You skipped over the war of the roses and many other important monarchs, such as Eleanor Aquitaine, Henry the fifth Richard, the lionhearted

[@oktaviananitasari7573]

very interesting after seeing and reading the history of England in this video which in it tells all its developments in following the times

[@ayushshah2772]

I just did not expect him to stay from the ice age

[@crispy4306]

The ancient Britons were not celts, it’s not certain if Celtic peoples invaded or the pagan religion was adopted, then the romans invade - the romans leave, Anglo Saxons tribes invade, then Danish tribes invade (Dane law), then there are Viking raids, then the Norman’s invade. The Dane’s are not Anglo - Saxons!

Why is there no mention of Queen Elizabeth II?
