The French port city of Calais was under English control between the years of 1347 to 1558. It was Englands gateway to the wool, tin, lead, and lace trades on mainland Europe and at one point came to be called the “brightest jewel in the English crown”. People in Calais, France, and Dover, Great Britain, can see each other’s cities with naked eyes on a clear day.
Great video, would argue that we do have mountains in Wales, Northern England and definitely Scotland. Might not be the heights of this in America but some of the hardest climbing/hiking in the world, hear it from a mountaineer whose been all over the world! Thank you
England as a whole is mostly lowland and flat. The only real mountains are in Cumbria. Wales and Scotland are mostly hilly with larger mountains than England.
There's hilly bits in England but not too many. The UK's highest (above sea level) motorway is the M62 which goes across the Pennines. My ears always pop going over it.
I enjoyed the video. Soothing voice and a lot of stuff covered. I would point out there are a few historical inaccuracies mentioned but I can put up with it!
Thanks from UK! Not the most positive history i will admit but isnt that the nature of most of it, at least we've made it into something good now like this ASMR video, very interesting indeed!
The mistake that a lot of people make is thinking that the troubles was caused by religious differences. It was largely a political issue, whether you wanted to live in Ireland or the UK. Religion was a broad indicator of your position but was never 100% accurate. What would have always been the key factor was whether or not you felt British or Irish.
Żeby nie było zbyt łatwo, napiszę po Polsku. Masz fantastyczny głos do ASMR! Plan miałem prosty, wysłuchać do końca i iść spać zrelaksowanym. Jednak obudziłem się gdy walnąłem czołem w klawiaturę :D To chyba dobra rekomendacja Twojego filmiku:) Pozdrowienia z Polski/Kraków.
"We'll be covering the United Kingdom!" *touches Isle of Man which isn't in the UK*😆 It's easy for foreigners to confuse England, Great Britain, the UK and the British Isles, we even do it ourselves. CGP Grey's video on this is a good reference.
I understand that many people are offended by my blanket statement about Brexit voters being racist. I really do apologize for making that statement without doing more research into the matter. Here in America, the only news we saw about people who supported Brexit were the racist politicians, buses with blatant lies on them, etc, so I only really knew that side of the argument. It seems that not everyone who voted for Brexit was racist, but definitely every racist voted for Brexit.
NAME me one racist politician that voted for Brexit please ? I can imagine you are a lefty liberal , white privilege apologist...probably middle class and university (brain washed ) educated .... sleepy Joe Biden voter.... Pro BLM and anti capitalist....Well those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones ! America is way behind the UK when it comes to racism. I Believe the UK is one of the most welcoming countries in the world and not wanting total open borders and being flooded with migrants who come into the country without identification or not knowing who these people are doesn't make you a racist !
🏴❤️⚔️Anglo Saxon till I die as a pure blooded Englishman I’m proud to be a descendants of angle and Saxon our tribes came from northern Germany and southern Denmark that where our tribes originated from but no offence when it come to my country and my peoples history and our ancestors you Americans no nothing beyond your own shore and that’s a fact 😂
That's true for most Americans. I've been to England twice to learn about my Anglo-Saxon heritage. It's not my fault my ancestors lived in a workhouse in London and were sent to the colonies, otherwise I would still be British.
I discovered your channel last night. Your content is really interesting and your voice is so calming. I came straight home and put another session on whilst making the tea. Keep up the good work ❤
I’ll be super excited for a video of the North of Ireland, even one with the entire island of Ireland described as the North hasn’t really been covered on this channel just yet!! Super good videos 🤍
Hello, what’up? Sorry if I bother but I’ve just opened my new ASMR video channel and I’m searching for feedback. Would you like to check it? Thank you for your time ❤
I love all walks of life on this small island, We’re all amazing. British History is wonderful! You just have to educate yourself on the bad and appreciate the good. Some of our Traditions have continued every year for over 300 years! Few annual individual sporting contests in the world can match the continuous history of the Doggett's Coat and Badge Wager, which was founded in 1715 by Thomas Doggett (old actor) in honour of the accession of King George I. Anyway, enough yapping! Thank you for covering the highs & lows of The United Kingdom. God Save The King & up yours Brexit Supporters🇬🇧 🏴 🏴 🏴 🇮🇪 🇪🇺 ✌🏻✌🏼✌🏽✌🏾✌🏿
You’re information on the Gaels is incorrect. The Gaels were established in Ireland with their own culture and language a thousand years before the Angles and Saxons invaded England. They never moved over to Ireland. Pre Gaelic Celtic peoples moved over to Ireland from Britain a few thousand years ago and then Iberian Celts migrated to Ireland by sea and the two Celtic peoples merged to form the Gaels. Well before the Romans or Saxons or Angles or any of that stuff happened in Britain. The Gaels were raiding western Britain at the time of the Roman invasion and even had some bases on the coast. The Gaels had the kingdom of Dal Riata in western Scotland that eventually intermingled and joined with the Picts to form the kingdom of Scotland or, the Scots.
You are very brave taken or trying to make sense out of British history I'm from Scotland right now Northern Ireland wales and Scotland are on the verge of exploding the union between all of these countries are at their lowest point for centuries brexit is at the heart of these problems. Right now the majority in Northern Ireland are nationalists you call them Catholics the majority are Catholics but not all, the unionist protestants are the minority now their politicians will not enter the Northern Ireland parliament stormont they will never accept a Northern Ireland nationalist first minister as leader ,the unionist of Northern Ireland have subjected the nationalist community to an apartheid regime for a hundred years
When great Britain went to war against napoleon and the imperial French army they were lead by Sir Arthur Wellsley ( The Duke of Wellington) there force was made up of British,Dutch and German troops which was an estimated 850,000 men they had an alliance with the prussians of which had 450,000 men which were lead by Gebhard Von Blucher who was a field marschal and was in his 70s. They fought I the peninsula war they went on through Portugal and Spain defeating napoleon's army time and again. In 1814 Napoleon was exiled but he escaped and returned to fight 2 last battles he was determined to destroy Bluchers forces at charwois and had a decisive victory with 50,000 prussians dead. He then made his move on Wellingtons forces at qature bras of which Wellington withdrew but reformed his forces at Waterloo the battle started at 11:35 in the morning Napoleon's forces pinpointed hougomont and La haye saint with several waves of attacks by 6 oclock the French took hougomont but by 7 o'clock the British took it back Napoleon then though that Wellington was beaten so he deployed the old guard to crush the remaining forces behind the crest of the hill this is where the it went wrong for Napoleon as the old guard came over the hill Blucher and his forces arrived and wiped out the French Napoleon was arrested and was exiled at the island of St Helena where he died.
Oh look, another RU-vidr who just brushes over Wales. Kind of disappointed though I can’t lie, I thought you would at leave give us a couple of minutes. We’re our own country with an extensive and interesting history and deserve to be treated as such.
Thank you for a very balanced and fair summary of my homeland the UK. I was interested to find out the Celts came from Spain as per your previous videos on Spain. I do enjoy learning where we as a collective come from, when you consider we have a such a strong sense of self. We likely started as Iberians, flirted with Italian Romans, Got a ruling class from the Dutch and Germans, a rude awakening from Scandinavia and good stir up from the Viking/french Normans.
Mmmmm! wonderful… Sooooo! many tingles & good vibes off this vid… Outstanding… I’ve watched it back to back twice today… My minds finally stopped racing & I am extremely relaxed now… Good ASMR vids like this help my mental health illness massively… I’m truly grateful to you… 💕 Thanks & keep up your good work…. You’ve no idea just how much it helps people… 😊😃… take care & stay safe out there everyone…
