The British Empire was a complete joke. It consisted of only small primitive countries that can't defend themselves, mostly primitive African countries. Britain never invaded or occupied any significant strong country. A complete joke!

English is an international language because of the United States. When people think of English, they think of America. People study English only for America. Nobody even cares or knows about England. If it wasn't for the United States, English would've been a 3rd class language like Dutch and spoken only within your little monkey isle. You should be thankful for America for actually popularizing the English language.

So what is your argument? My nationally is irrelevant to what i just said. The fact that you rather insult my nationality as oppose to addressing my argument is proof that you can't address them because they are true, and you know it. By the way, if you wanna talk about Bulgaria, ok, we invented the first computer, the pill, the first military airplane, the car gears, the cyrilic alphabet, had one of the largest empires in Europe, conquiring actual REAL strong countries, as oppose to primitive african countries that haven't discovered the fire yet. We've accomplished far more than you.

Wow you're pretty stupid.

Firstly, in order to win North America, Britain had to beat the French and the Spanish. The main fight was part of a little thing called the Seven Years War:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Years%27_War

Secondly, in the American Independence war, it was Britain against the British rebels, French, Spanish, Dutch, and French allies in India. All of those powers were attacking Britain - simultaneously! - in Europe, North America, India and at sea. This is what you call "primitive rebels".

You're either REALLY stupid or you're a proxy trying to make Bulgaria look bad

Also to the Seven Years' War dude, France just suffered a destabilizing revolution yet still beat almost all of Europe. Then it took seven coalitions to defeat France. In Britain's case, they had five legit states aiding them in the Seven Years' War, while France only had 1.5 in the Revolutionary Wars.

Truly a golden age of exploration, pioneering and naval capabilities.

You know we had to fight the other colonial powers to win outright possession of these territories, right? They weren't exactly easy to maintain either.

It's a kind of off topic though, I have questions.

Did The U.K. apologize for having ruled over those countries which were the British colonies?
Did The U.K. pay the reparations for them?

Japan had apologized many times, had abandoned all infrastructure and personal assets, had paid a huge amount money as reparations, and had given financial supports and technical supports for free to Korea.

And still now, Korean claim lots more.
They say that Japan should pay more like European countries did.

Did the U.K. apologize and pay reparations for former colonies?
Is the U.K. apologizing and paying now?
