English Speaking Union (Victoria)

English Speaking Union (Victoria)

The ESU Victoria Branch is an educational and cultural charity, established in Melbourne in 1919. We are a non-government body, reliant on our members, volunteers, supporters and donors to undertake our work and fund our activities.

Our Branch is a member of the Australian English-Speaking Union (Australian ESU), a national body comprising all English-Speaking Union branches in Australia. We are part of an international network which convenes international meetings and events such as the International Public Speaking Competition, involving over 40,000 young people in 50 countries each year.

The ESU promotes friendship and closer ties between the peoples of English-speaking democracies through our common heritage and language. We work principally with young people, providing opportunities to build skills and gain experiences to help our beneficiaries realise their full potential.

    I never understood why Britain didn't commit an extra year or two in the war of 1812. A pro British neutral state (ironic terming but I meant independent) New England could of came about. A war that ended up a draw could of ended up with British Annexation of America, or a puppet state of New England if not all of America as a vassal satellite state. kzread.info/dash/bejne/lq1kmK2BgtKyd84.html

    as an American, I view the Revolutionary war as a tragedy separating British descended peoples unnecessarily, links that could of helped developed economic, scientific and technological development and exchange were divided and weaken by this divorce of Britain and America. Which may have screwed us Americans more, as the colonies of the Caribbean were wealthier than America alone and the access to British Caribbean and Canada caused us problems from lack of imperial benefits. In governing and it would of prevented a devastating civil war that happened in our own history, and the British banned slavery anyway decades earlier, aka a moral reason to stay apart of that empire as well. I think the British empire would of kept all territories it ever had ever like in our timeline, just with all of America's territories as well, and much of latin America with extra resources from America and base of operation unlike our own timeline mix with the lack of America's Monroe doctrine keeping Britain out of Latin America, annexing Cuba, Mexico, Argentina, etc. we diminished our own world size as the British peoples. because of our worthless useless irrelevant pointless unnecessary rebellion. All for stupid taxes. America had several insurrections and revolts in the aftermath, a list of which we forgot about (except civil war) The position of the Falklands, and a very lesser known major British descent migrations into Uruguy, Argentinia, Chile and Paraguy, and the military position of a near won British victory at Beunos Ares kzread.info/dash/bejne/h215q7aBnrfdYZc.html

    The English when Hannoverian dynasty was established were well keenly aware of the Anglo-Saxon origins of the dynasty and people of that part of Germany where Hannover was and is. Encouraging subjects of Hannover to move to England. After an amnesia went on, Anglo-Saxon culture witnessed a revival and Hannover German culture made influences in England as well as miscegenation of Hannoverian immigrants who Anglicized and native English girls and boys. With their revival here kzread.info/dash/bejne/n591z9duhKWtd9o.html

    compare the architecture, art, laws, traditions, customs, most of the inhabitants dna, cuisine, attire, language, religion, style of writing, of poetry, and of literature, formats of folklore, knowledge of certain myths, mental habits, and so fourth, the Americans, Canadians, Australians, British, Irish and New Zealanders share much in common, slight differentiating diversifying features do to divergence, but divergence aside a Generally Celto-Anglo-Norman common heritage can be found, However after the 60s, all the nations I mentioned received a major amount of multicultural and multiracial, and multi-ethnic immigration, and miscegenation.

    I am proudly pan-Anglic, and also a staunch pan-Germanicist and pan-European. Each sphere nested within the other, although I would say that the pan-Anglic sphere is more-or-less, or arguably, a subdivision of the pan-Germanic sphere. I am no linguist, but I have heard it said that if it were not for the Norman invasion, English would be part of a West Germanic dialect continuum with continental Europe. There exist a few apocryphal reports of East Anglian and Frisian fishermen understanding each other. Old English and Old Norse were also mutually intelligible, and Britons, in the sense inclusive of Anglo-Saxons, have contributed a substantial portion of blood to modern Icelanders! It's also worth noting the ability of the Anglosphere to integrate German, Dutch and Scandinavians without issue or threat to the constitution of the places (as well as others from even further afield in the Indo-European family). Although bad blood existed between Boer and Briton in southern Africa, and while it still persists in places, they were able to come together to build the country of South Africa in the aftermath of those wars. I know a great swathe of modern-day Anglophones feel a deep affinity for our Boer cousins, and many Boers make the extra-African Anglosphere a new home as a result of political turmoil in their native country. We must preserve our sense of identity and our ties of kinship! Thank you for this wonderful presentation! I will be sharing this with all of my friends.
