Was the British Empire the most vicious of them all?

It was the most effective. German empire was regarded as the strictest.

Didn't the British empire end the slave trade pretty much single-handedly?

>>55493426
>His picture Suppression of the Indian Revolt by the English depicted executions carried out by tying victims to the barrels of guns. Vereshchagin's detractors argued that such executions had only occurred in the Indian Rebellion of 1857, but the painting depicted modern soldiers of the 1880s, implying that the practice was normal. Because of its photographic style, the painting appeared to present itself as an impartial record of a real event. In the Magazine of Art in December 1887, Vereshchagin defended himself, rather evasively, by saying that that if there were another rebellion then the British would use it again

France
>1794: Abolish slavery
>1802: Reinstall slavery
>1814: Abolish slave trade
>1848: France abolishes slavery in France and most of its colonies
>1899: Abolish slavery in the last of its colonies
Britain
>1772: Formally declared that slavery as an institution had no legal basis in England and Wales (but still did throughout the rest of the empire and Scotland)
>1807: Abolish slave trade
>1834: Abolish slavery throughout most of the empire

Whilst its technically correct that France abolished slavery first the fact that Napoleon brought it back means it's usual to use the dates 1834 and 1848.

How about Scaphism?
>The intended victim was stripped naked and then firmly fastened within the interior space of two narrow rowing boats (or hollowed-out tree trunks) joined together one on top of the other with the head, hands and feet protruding. The condemned was forced to ingest milk and honey to the point of developing severe diarrhea, and more honey would be poured on him to attract insects, with special attention devoted to the eyes, ears, mouth, face, genitals, and anus. In some cases, the executioner would mix milk and honey and pour that mixture all over the victim. He would then be left to float on a stagnant pond or be exposed to the sun. The defenseless individual's feces accumulated within the container, attracting more insects which would eat and breed within the victim's exposed flesh, which—pursuant to interruption of the blood supply by burrowing insects—became increasingly gangrenous. The individual would lie naked, covered from head to toe in milk, honey, and his own feces. The feeding would be repeated each day in some cases to prolong the torture, so that fatal dehydration or starvation did not occur. Death, when it eventually occurred, was probably due to a combination of dehydration, starvation, and septic shock.

>The bull was made entirely of bronze, hollow, with a door in one side.[3] The bull was in the form and size of an actual bull and had an acoustic apparatus that converted screams into the sound of a bull. The condemned were locked in the device, and a fire was set under it, heating the metal until the person inside roasted to death.

Hitler repeatedly tried to make peace with the brits, and really respected them.

Thats funny, considering you surrendered to a bunch of farmers, militia, and frenchman when you had a superior fighting force from the beginning of the conflict.
Thats pretty pathetic
But not nearly as pathetic as trying to relive your glorydays on a malaysian piss bottle forum while your country is the laughing stock of europe

you just reminded me of something else from the book-
Apparently Jefferson was a total autist in a big way, and in his initial draft of the DoI he had this whole fan fiction section about how americans came from German forests and didn't owe shit to britan
Then he got so buttblasted when they made 4 alterations that he spent the next year (through many important deliberations in continental congress about the future of the country) re-copying his original version to mail to friends and family.
He almost missed signing the document all together
He was brilliant but goddam, maybe americas first autist

The South (North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia) was much less supportive of independence than the North as their economy relied heavily on exports to the British Empire and they weren't too into Locke and Montesquieu. As such, the general will to fight was lower in the South.

WE WUZ EMPIRES AND SHIT
I grew up when people rightfully admired the british empire.. just how everyone admires the Roman Empire for what they did for the world
now its so popular to hate on the British Empire and I seriously don't know why. People don't hate on the ottomans. The people were killing eachother way before the british got there. Utter shitholes changed indisputably for the better because of capitalism and the pure strength of British administration practices - making the population more free than ever.
And all the British get is hate.
>>55499946
>now its so popular to hate on the British Empire and I seriously don't know why
because the british empire was led by whites, and actually improved all the lands the conquered (unlike the arabs). Modern leftists are taught to demonize success instead of trying to imitate it

>Finally, on 15 July, an order was given to murder the women and children imprisoned at Bibighar. The details of the incident, such as who ordered the massacre, are not clear.[14][16] According to some sources, Azimullah Khan ordered the murder of women and children at Bibighar
>The rebel sepoys executed the four surviving male hostages from Fatehghar, one of them a 14-year-old boy. But they refused to obey the order to kill women and the other children.[5] Some of the sepoys agreed to remove the women and children from the courtyard, when Tatya Tope threatened to execute them for dereliction of duty. Nana Sahib left the building because he didn't want to be a witness to the unfolding massacre.
>The British women and children were ordered to come out of the assembly rooms, but they refused to do so and clung to each other. They barricaded themselves in, tying the door handles with clothing. At first, around twenty rebel soldiers opened fire from the outside of the Bibighar, firing through holes in the boarded windows. The soldiers of the squad that was supposed to fire the next round were disturbed by the scene, and discharged their shots into the air. Soon after, upon hearing the screams and groans inside, the rebel soldiers declared that they were not going to kill any more women & children.
cont.
>>55502230
An angry Begum Hussaini Khanum denounced the sepoys' act as cowardice, and asked her aide Sarvur Khan to finish the job of killing the captives.[5] Khan hired butchers, who murdered the captives with cleavers; the butchers left when it seemed that all the captives had been killed. However, a few women and children had managed to survive by hiding under the other dead bodies. It was agreed that the bodies of the victims would be thrown down a dry well by some sweepers. The next morning the rebels arrived to dispose of the bodies and they found that three women who were still alive, and also three stark naked children aged between four and seven years old .[3] The surviving women were cast into the well by the sweepers, who had also been told to strip the corpses. The sweepers then threw the three little boys into the well one at a time, the youngest first. Some victims, among them small children, were therefore buried alive in a heap of butchered corpses
