He is credited with single-handedly inventing the turbojet engine. A patent was submitted by Maxime Guillaume in 1921 for a similar invention; however, this was technically unfeasible at the time. Whittle's jet engines were developed some years earlier than those of Germany's Hans von Ohain who was the designer of the first jet engine to be used to actually power an aircraft.[2]

France contributed in socialism and some arts.

The UK contributed in economics, sciences, arts, the industrial revolution. They conquered the world, imposed their language and created the USA. Most of what is the modern world is due to UK, while Greece set up the basis of Western civilization.

The USA created themselves. The UK was notoriously late for the conquest of the New World. France had the Nouvelle France territory, and you just happened to have sold it to be able to fuck Britain in Europe with Napoléon.

If I was communist I would talk shits about the URSS. Or the communist era of China.

But perhaps Confucionism, Buddism, asian literature and filosophy, chinese medicine, the third most spoken language in the world, etc are not relevant.

It did though, the man has a PhD and said the Greek texts survived not because of the islamic golden age but in spite of them because they burned 90% of it. He also admitted they did some good things like charting the stars but otherwise it's a load of bullshit. The reason why any progress came out of there is because they were in Europe and stole "Learned men" from all of the Visigoth and other European nations and congregated them there. I have actually literary published sources if you need as well for how they treated the native Iberians like slaves and made science very stifling.

Why do I think this ??
Because American independance was successful thanks to France's money mainly and its men.

It's like a multinational. Lamborghini was bought by Volks Wagen. Is it german or italian ?
Juridically it's german, of course. In fact italians made the greatest part. But finally, german owns the thing.

That was the same configuration except France gladly set the union free then.

Brits may have a favorable place atm, but don't forget that the real successful part of USA comes from german-irish immigration.

That's a massive cop out. You had a hand in their independance but you didn't create America. All the founding fathers were of British stock and had Anglo culture. If the Normans were French than the revolutionaries were Brits. They even spoke English and were protestant. Not to mention the 13 colonies were British terrorories before wanting independance because their KING THE BRITISH MONARCH needed tax money to fund a war against THE FRENCH. The real successful part of America comes from old money WASP and Jews. You're literally Afrocentric tier when they say the blacks built America.

Yes, Americans came from the UK, but that doesn't make UK responsible for it. The individual people decided to come over, set up their own country, and eventually be done with Britain.

Meanwhile, you're literally a product of the UK, you didn't create yourself. You were always just doing what the UK said until they decided to let you go, you didn't decide to let go.


America is more like a branch off from the UK line, it'd be wrong to say the modern UK is somehow responsible for it
