Ten Minute History - The Early British Empire (Short Documentary)

This episode of Ten Minute History (like a documentary, only shorter) covers the birth and rise of the British Empire from the reign of Henry VII all the way to the American Revolution. The first part deals with the Tudors and their response to empire in Spain (as well as the Spanish Armada). The second part deals with England's (and later Britain's) establishment of its own empire in North America and India. It then concludes with the Seven Years' War and the American Revolution.

Ten Minute History is a series of short, ten minute animated narrative documentaries that are designed as revision refreshers or simple introductions to a topic. Please note that these are not meant to be comprehensive and there's a lot of stuff I couldn't fit into the episodes that I would have liked to. Thank you for watching, though, it's always appreciated.

@Cian Doyle People need to stop looking at this from a modern lense. Like all empires, the British empire was formed of exploitation and bloodshed, but that was something any country/region did if they had the opportunity, Britain just did it really well. This isnt to say the British empire wasn’t violating human rights and committing acts of evil, but back then It was justified, and now in the present day there have come many benefits from it, a fairly universal language for example.

The tradition gets even stranger with it being seen as more appropriate to die early in the morning, since people would have found out sooner. George V agreed to be killed if it looked like his death would have had to be announced in the evening paper, because they were less popular and people were more busy.
You covered a lot of ground very thoroughly - and speedily! However, just one error I need to point out: James II was not Charles II's son, he was his brother.

The Scottish colony in Panama was the Dunning-Kruger Effect writ large. Establishing a colony at the narrowest point between the Atlantic and the Pacific in order to connect both through shipping. It just didn't occur to them that some Spanish guy might have already thought of it in the preceding 200 years, and that it not already having been done might be due to it not being geographically possible. Which it wasn't. There is a reason for why Spain was already using the longer overland route through Mexico from Veracruz to Acapulco for the purpose.

Probably a mistake on this one, as the person included in this video was the first since the vikings to land in Canada (Columbus was undoubtedly the first European to land in North America since the viking age, landing in the Caribbean). The confusion often comes from people forgetting that Scandinavian long ships did land in what sounded like Canada and had records of meeting 'skraelings' (their term for referring to the indigenous people of Greenland, Iceland and America) many centuries before.

_What were some of the motivations behind English exploration?_ Trade. The British Empire, according to novelist Edward Rutherfurd, was actually illegal under the terms of the unwritten English constitution. But being a small archipelago with dwindling natural resources but a vigorous manufacturing base, trade became the main reason to ignore that and grow an Empire that encompassed 1/3 of the world.

8:00 This was the simplest explanation for the Seven Years War I have ever heard, especially about US history, compared to how it was taught in school.
History is more complex than the establishment would have us mere servants believe! Great videos
You've left me breathless! But . . . . . . but I have to say that I learned a lot about the Brtish Empire from watching this video.
Im so surprised he has only 4 videos! These are amazing! You should do the History of the Empire of Hispania (Spanish Empire) next. After all, nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition ;)
The Proclaimers at 7:07 is a fantastic touch
When in I play your videos I sleep in just a minute. Thanks for solving my sleep issues.
Sooperb..!! Nice Documentary..
Prisoners of Cromwell's war were also sent to America as indentured servants. It's how one side of my family arrived in America.
Please add captions. Great and informative video!
really nice, but you speak incredibly fast so was a bit stressful to watch and absorb the storyline, you made a cracking video though and awesome content, i've subbed :) (I do understand you did have to cram all that info into 10 mins though lol) maybe I'm just tried at 4am trying to listen to this, i`ll try watch again tomorrow :)
As I expect this channel to blow up soon, I want to note that I was the 407 subscriber.

I just love the British solders face when looking at the tea. Just really made me laugh
got 8 minutes into this video before realizing "wait jesus, why am I not already subscribed to this guy???"
suddenly the union with hanover slips in right at the end
calling Wales separate but still under English authority is wrong since it had been fully incorporated into England at the time, and also calling Ireland independent is grossly simplified, since Ireland was split between 100s of clans each acting as their own country, the English Pale ((Meath)) was bigger than almost all of the Irish clans at the time ~1490s

Ireland had a system of law and philosophy of living from the brehon law applied across the island, spoke the same language, had the same mythology, religion, games, song, dance. You are looking at a 'nation' from a modern perspective.

His video starts in 1497, Wales isn’t annexed into England until the 1536 and 1542 Laws in Wales Acts.
William of orange cracked me up so good!
Thanks man, saved me a lot of time on my research paper :D
Good job mate! Slow down the delivery a little and focus more on the humour. You had some really nice lines which were a little lost due to the speed. Keep it up.

We dont need to pause to have a laughing crowd audio put in the background.
I love the animation! Lol the sign "Be Christian" lol so funny XD
I really enjoy this video and your channel, I'm subscribing.😀
Like the "10 Minute History" on the USSR, there is not one word in this video that I didn't already know from high school (yes, I paid attention while there). HOWEVER, this is the first time seeing all of the facts put *IN CONTEXT* . What came first, who died first, what happened after that... This is a VERY USEFUL exercise. I'm subscribing...
This video is fantastic! Keep up the good work.
7:30 Me: oh its, all coming together
He had one second to extend the video to 10mins but he didnt do that, what a legend
3:47 I only now noticed Sir E.Blackadder and his servant Baldrick! Brilliant!
