  1. Britain made the modern world, folks.

  2.  @candy-le4nh  Just take a look around you. Take a look at the map. Take a look at many of the things you use. Even the device you are using right now. Take a look at Common Law, adopted across the world. Habeas Corpus, parliamentary democracy, sovereignty of the individual, separation of powers, all British. Shall I go on and into more detail?

  3.  @AwRighttttt  Britain, not England. You are clearly not very well informed. Ever heard of the industrial revolution and where it started? Ever heard of Babbage and Lady Ada Lovelace? Every heard of Einstein's three heroes, all British? Ever heard of who invented the telephone, the cash machine, modern road construction, modern cement, improved weaving techniques, the modern tilling machine, steam power, railways, underground railways, the jet engine? The first jet powered civilian aircraft, the first nuclear power generating station, the first hydro power installation, the first electric light bulb. Ever heard of Japanese research into the nation with the majority of inventors and discoveries? Ever heard of the world's universal language? Ever heard of India, Malaysia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Canada, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, all British creations. The first tank, the first aircraft carrier. Do some research.

  5. It was an international institution. There not a place on earth (except Antarctica) where slavery did not happen.

  10.  @candy-le4nh  You really are so ignorant. Britain made the modern world. Just look at a map, look around you, just look at the language you are using. When you fly on a jet, thank the British for the radar and the jet. When you use your phone or a computer, thank the British. When you use a cash machine, thank the British. When you go to court and face a jury, thank the British. 40% of the world's inventions and discoveries were made by Brits. The atom was fist split in the UK. Canada, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Hong Kong, modern Japan, all made by Brits. Whether you like it or not, the modern world was made by Brits.
