Did the op fail history class? Name your counties in the US after Kings, Prince's of England brehs.

As I was saying earlier, Britain was bad breh.
@BrothaZay nonsensical post started 'bout Britain not being able to conquer America which was across the Atlantic Ocean. British were too busy trying to conquer India and fend off France, Spain and the Netherlands. Get a globe and measure the distance between Boston and Southampton and the distance between Liverpool and Mumbai. 'Nuff said about that.
As I said earlier, the British pushed drugs on the Chinese because they found the Chinese too uppity. They poisoned an entire Empire and then got the richest pickings after they destroyed their navy such as Hong Kong. It was opium dealing which allowed the British to stay buoyant after they outlawed slavery in 1832.
Up and coming Empires...the Ashanti, the Sikhs, the Zulus were doing well up until they ran into the British who just curbed stomp them. And the British were so clever about it. They would study your people for years. Form crucial links with potential traitors, then divide and rule after their initial conquest. They were a brutal Empire.

They would have won if France and Spain weren't supporting the Colonists
British did win and in more ways than one.
On the real though.
Imagine Washington sending the Brits a letter saying "#pullup" only for them to arrive a few months later.

Thread is ridiculous. The British Empire were stone cold killers. They were the biggest, meanest Empire that's ever existed. They were the biggest drug dealers in world history and wrecked China to prove a point.
I'll provide more info after I get back from hitting the club. The only reason why the British fought sorta clean in America was because the colonist were English speaking Protestants.
Nah I think The Mongols were the meanest. 9/10 if you encountered them you'd probably die or end up getting raped ( if you were a woman )

Word, if it wasn't for France interfering, the colonies would've taken a big L. A lot of colonist actually sided with the British and even fought for Britain in some cases.
Not to mention the British were busy with far more important stuff at the time. As someone mentioned earlier, the American revolution was basically a sidequest. The Colonist basically got lucky.

People forget that the British empire spanned continents (plural) for a very long time. They were almost everywhere. North America, the Caribbean, Africa, Australia, Asia, you name it.
Anybody who thinks the colonists would've defeated the full might of the British empire at the time is fooling themselves. The Brits were distracted by other shyt back then.

That part is so underrated.
Very cunning.
And people still refuse to learn from history.

Do you think the British didn't rape?
I have a poem from the British conquest of the Sokoto Caliphate (located in what is now Northern Nigeria) from the early 20th century:
She was a Mallam's daughter
She lived at Sokoto
She didn't know what she ought to
Till Bellamy taught her to
The British had all these poems about their imperial conquests.
Ask Kikuyu highlanders if the British didn't rape. Ask black folks in Jamaica if the British didn't rape.

Compared to the Mongols not that much. There's a reason why 16 million people today are related to him. Plus he killed over 40 million people ( 10% of the world's population at the time ).
