  2. Us Brits had the biggest empire in recorders history that America was a part of 248 years ago. If you can't bury that what chance have you got with the rest of the world and bringing peace to Europe.

  3. No that's not a normal day in America and the way America is portrayed around the world is disgusting if you find out that all America has done since ww2 is brought good to the planet. You should go there on holiday you would have fun eating great food meet nice people it's funny all these problems seem to happen in ex Confederate states.

  4. During the 15th century, the European countries of Spain and Portugal began sending ships on expeditions to find new trade routes to Asia. An accidental outcome of this search was that explorer Christopher Columbus encountered land in the Western Hemisphere in 1492. He landed in the Caribbean islands. Other European explorers soon traveled to the mainland of what are now called the Americas. Although these early explorers failed to recognize it, they had found what for the Europeans was another world. This “New World” contained all the natural wealth for which Europeans longed—and far more. Here were great deposits of the gold which they sought so eagerly. Here also were vast reserves of other minerals. Mile upon mile of plains, valleys, and mountains held fertile farmlands and pastures. The Europeans soon began to explore, claim, and colonize, or build colonies in, the Americas.

  6. My point is really there is no point burying British and western European history anymore. If you keep doing this in Europe and America specially how the world has changed since ww2 and with our history that goes back to the 15th century in a world that's completely different today then before ww1 and ww2 nothing good is going to come here.

  7. See my point is if your going to run a risk of bringing another civil war to America in a town called Birmingham named after us Brits even though we didn't colonise that part of America we took that from the french in a thing called the Louisiana purchase the. Don't do it. Both democrats and republicans have guns and look at the mess America and Europe has become today and comments from all over the world about us. Do you know Africa America most Asia the middle East Australia and new Zealand and Polynesia wouldn't even exist without Europe and America today.

  8. Type into Google nations that got independence from the UK you should get a map of all the nations that got independence from us it will include the middle East do the same with France do it with Spain Portugal the Dutch that's why you won't bury our history and your stupid to do so with Europe over the last 100 years because what remains is because of that and check the dates to while you do it start to make a sense of a world that they don't want to bring peace to but don't need to change this time in Europe and America they just need to learn to do things differently now with the amazing technology they have around today.

  10. Before ww1 in Europe we was a land of empires but the west had already been given independence from us we are now not a land of empires but everything outside Russia today stems from our history. We are not pandering to the modern world around us all they have to do today is show you how the world had changed over the last 100 years now how far we have come and they would be able to deal with the future better from that. Even better if they showed you how far the world has come since the first industrial revolution to. We don't need to bury our history in Europe but you need to stop bringing the worlds problems to us now
