I think that really sums it up for me. The UK and England are completely the same. There is nothing British about being Scottish, Welsh or NI. The people of the world when they hear this anthem, when they see this flag, think only of England.
The amount of germans on here going on about how this anthem is from some german song, well it may well be but if you keep going on about it we might go on about 2 things that happened in a few decades ago :)
oh! My God, I like the anthem of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, I always like it, and I will continue enjoying the brother of this beautiful country, a heartfelt greeting from Mexico.
Know what was most Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish hate, is when people from other countries use England as collective term for the UK, it gets a lot of us really annoyed like when people call the Netherlands, Holland.
@dbvc1 Before the emergence of romantic nationalism in the constituent countries of the UK (including England), the term "England" was an acceptable definition to be applied to the entire UK, and was even used within other constituent countries - Ireland, Scotland and Wales - to refer to the Union.
The Oxford History of England (vol15) states:
" 'England' was still an all-embracing word. It meant indiscriminately England and Wales; Great Britain; the United Kingdom; and even the British Empire."
@mauricesioniste Thanks to remember the past instead of moving on. Maybe Argentina lost, in the Argentine people's heart, the Falklands are still Argentinean, and it goes the same to the UK!, so there is no need to remember that over and over.
This song is from the french song "Grand Dieu sauve le Roi" composed in 1686 for King Louis XIV sick who escape to the death and sung by Ursuline sisters of St Cyr, adopted by Stewart's partisans and finally taken as national anthem by the victorious Hanover on the Stewart. The song's sound is later taken by Germans and Russians for their own versions.
God save the Queen and God bless United Kingdom!!!
@ CutyBecky Salut. Si vous prenez ce mythe pour vrai, tu ferais mieux de regarder de plus près. la guérison de Louis XIV. serait la guérison de son fistule anale (ce n'est pas une blague!). dans son livre "The Oxford Companion to Music" à partir de 1938, mr. Percy Scholes souligne les erreurs grossières de la date qui rendent ces affirmations intenables. ils ont été attribués à une contrefaçon du 19e siècle: les «Souvenirs» de la marquise de Créquy. l'origine de la mélodie reste incertain.
hej,anyone here want to represent England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland or another country in our online song contest? its like eurovisionm but u play a active role and get in contact with persons all over the world. CLICK ----> valnakinvision.webs.com <-------- or contact me for more infromation!!
@hubbapop1 That because King George I was from Hanover in Germany and our royal family is descendants of the Hanoverian monarch. That's why the song was written in German.
Queen Victoria's husband was from Germany too. When we went to war against Germany in the first world war, the royal family felt there was huge anti-German feelings among the subjects so had to change name to Windsor which it still used though the house is called Mountbatten-Windsor nowadays.
@hubbapop1 umm...even if im a fan of germany in must tell u that...u are completely wrong, the british national anthem was composed on 1745, and heil dir dem siegerkranz in 1871...so i think it´s the other way around n_n sorry...
@hubbapop1 Actually its the other way around, the melody of "heil dir dem siegerkranz" was copied from the British anthem which was written 50 years earlier.
@plym0uth2 u know whats a kick in the balls? ive never been to england, we dont study england at all, and IM 8/9 NOT BRITISH! i wish i were at least half british...
The United Kingdom is in danger of dissolved itself if Scots voted for independence which may unlikely to happen.
But if it does then the United Kingdom would lose Scotland while England, Wales and N. Ireland would remain in the UK but not for long. That is for the future.

@Antralian Thats ironic during American revolution UK hated by US while French loved by US now today however.......The other way around! lol I like the US/UK relations nowadays Im american but I love the UK.
@TheEvilGamePlayers No,we won, we stopped the Japanese getting into India, we survived for nearly 3 years without American help, we stopped Rommel in North Africa, we were the ones that got the Enigma codebreaker, we had the Blitz and Rationing, Personally I think America was more of the side player, as they only REALLY got involved after 1941 / 42 (near enough 42, Pearl Harbour was in December)
I have the greatest esteem, respect, and admiration for the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland - for its global contribution, its glorious history, its wonderful people and its gracious monarch!
@TigerIPanzer Not yet break away cos there's to be a referendum first but First minister said it could take about 2 and a half years for it to take place - said support for independence grow, I doubt if he is telling the truth?
Im part british and really i think Rule Britannia! should be the anthem. not that i don`t like this one. i just think Rule Britannia! would fit it better.
love england. loyalty to england still as an american. i like how we fought to be free yet we get 24 hour coverage of what our father country (england) is having as weddings. bless william and kate as well.
@TheEvilGamePlayers mate, America never helped the Soviet Union during WW2 either, the allies had no possible way of aiding them, so Stalin decided to go in alone against germany. Then there was a RACE to Berlin between the allies and the Soviet Union. of course, as history goes, ivan got there first.
@bsrap That's not true. Britain and the USA shipped enormous quantities of aid to the USSR via Murmansk, Arkangel and Vladivostok. We provided them with trucks, boots, clothing, ammunition, medicine, rubber and many other essential commodities.
@redxenos the Soviets did help Britain from a possible second Nazi invasion by stubbornly defended the country by bring in more troops where they should have been ready to invade the British isles!
The Battle of Britain did not stop the threat of invasion until the Soviets starts attacking the German front that Hitler ordered more troops from France to stop them attacking.
@DavBlc7 After the Battle of Britain, the Royal Air Force gained air superiority over North-West Europe which rendered a German invasion very unlikely. Britain was fighting alone then with no help from the Soviets who had shamelessly cooperated with Hitler in invading Poland. The Soviets didn't even start pushing the Germans back until 1943, by which time the Allies had already invaded Italy. So we have no reason to be grateful to the Soviets at all. They were just as bad as the Nazis!
The USSR did the majority of the fighting during the Second World War. Take a look at the casualties chart. Soviets suffered roughly 7 million deaths on the battlefield, Germany and her allies 4.5 million on the eastern front. Germany had like 80% of her armed forces on the Eastern Front, yet the western Allies had TROUBLE slugging through Italy and France. You should damn be grateful for the Soviets.
@Neoarkt There were so many Germans in the eastern front because there were 181 soviet divisions there. If they had put most of their army on the western front, the war would have been quick and painless for everyone but Germany.
@mrtangerine999 I have no idea what your point is, but the Eastern Front dwarfed all other fronts. The sheer scale of battles there were titanic. At the Batle of the Bulge, the Western Allies suffered 90000 casualties. At Stalingrad, the USSR suffered a MILLION casualties, while inflicting 850,000 casualties on Germany and her allies. There were so many German troops on the Eastern Front because it was vastly more important than the Western one.
@TheEvilGamePlayers America wasn't even in WW2 during the Battle of Britain (1940) - there were 5 American pilots out of around 1900, that was it. We were alone against Germany and fought against insurmountable odds and won despite the fact you had more resources, pilots, etc.
Not really. Who won in Africa? Who also landed in Normandy? Who helped just as much as America in Europe? Who won the Battle of Britain? Who beat your navy and airforce? BRITAIN!
@TheEvilGamePlayers Britain was the only country to remain opposed to the Germans throughout the entire war - the British beat you in the Battle of Britain and secured air dominance over Europe (along with naval dominance) despite the fact you had more pilots and resources than we did and thus leaving the Soviets able to defeat you also. If we didn't win that battle, the USSR would've lost. We had the heavy burden of the outcome on our shoulders. Without Britain D-Day wouldn't have occurred. ^_^
@Oesterreich1156 if the welsh want to break away from the union then thats up to them but as i see it there is no political apitite for this to happen the nationalists are in a minority
@Oesterreich1156 well they are recognised as a nation and they do have a government unlike england who is barely recognized as a nation and has no government of its own we sit under the boot of the british government while wales scotland and northern ireland get what is essentially home rule
@Oesterreich1156 But together we our a great nation it was not the English, Irish, Scotish or the Welsh that built the british Empire the largest and strongest empire ever known second to none.
It was infact a combination of all four you see we work very well together where as for example you and the Hungarians could not work well thus one of the reasons why you fell.
And sure if we wanted to be another weak powerless pathetic nation that has had its hope amd drea,s grinded into dust ...
This anthem was composed in France to thank God for having cured King Louis XIV of a fistula. The English were so stupid that they copied out the music and make their hymn. GOD SAVE US FROM FISTULAS

@Iron1871 Long live Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II! and most of Ireland is free! and Scotland Joined by choice, so did ireland, which decided to chicken out some time after 1805, and they say irish men love to fight *scoffs*
@Jack10000115 Yes, Long Live The United Kingdom of GREAT Britain and Northern Ireland. Don't forget the first King of the whole of Great Britain was Scottish. Ireland would be a German province now were it not for the British.
@papadoc711 I would like to believe what you wrote. BUT remember how the whole of Europe and Britain held it's breath as we waited to see if the Irish would defy their European masters and vote against the Lisbon Treaty for the second time? Sadly, like a frightened people, they capitulated.
@britishfirstandlast The majority of the people in the continent europe dont want a state "EU". So is good that they stop the constitution. Europe shall be a Union of free Nations. Europe shall never be a higher authority than the nation. Europe shall never stand above the nation. Europe shall connect the nations, not more. The people want to be Germans, French, Italians and so on as if they had ever been.
@papadoc711 So its time for the irish unity. All english authority must leave irish ground. England threatens the irish freedom. I am German and i support the irish union and the scottish independence. I am waiting for the unity to stay i an irish pub with a great irish freedom party... Game over, England!
1)The people of Northern Ireland are BRITISH, not English. 2)"English" Authority does not exist in Ireland. It is one part of The BRITISH Isles and England is a DIFFERENT part of The British Isles.
3) Northern Ireland is part of The UNITED KINGDOM. It is not part of England.
4) Most people in Northern Ireland and Scotland want to stay with England and Wales.
5) The wars against the Germans strengthened the Unity of the British.
lol when the day comes, the world will hear us Mo chara over 800 years we have fought, millions of our people have lost there live defending this country, so its a party for the world to join in on,
@papadoc711 I support the Irish unity. Its the irish right to do everything to send the english home. Belfast is in Ireland and not in "Great Britain" (better Great England).
@papadoc711 Its time to send the english home. It cant be that Ireland stop the unity in the constitution. North eastern ireland have to come home to the irish republic. Dont stop believing in the unity. It would be real one day.
@Iron1871 Just open your mind. When the English visit Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland we are at Home. It's just like moving into anotther room in the same house. Fascism is not British. Cowboys and Indians come from America; Facsists and Communists come from Europe, not Britain.
@britishfirstandlast Read about Oswald Mosley and British Union of Facsists (BUF). Scotland or Ireland is never the home of the english. Scotland belongs to the Scots, Ireland belongs to the Irish. Remember the song of Paul Mc Cartney: Give Ireland back to the Irish.
@Iron1871 I studied History at University and we dealt with Moseley then. Fascism was a non starter in The U.K. because of the moderate nature of the people. This in contrast to Europe where war, revolutions and extremism are perfectly normal.
@britishfirstandlast When you studied history then you learnd that the facism didnt start in Germany. The facism is an international problem not directly connected with the Germans. The NSDAP was found after the WW 1. Italy and Span had facism, too. Hitlers teacher was the italian Mussolini. Hitlers friend was Franco of Spain. The english facistic man was Oswald Mosley with the B.U.F.
Open you mind: Its raceistic when you declear Germans as facistic persons just because being German.
@Iron1871 NO. Fascism is NOT an international problem it is a EUROPEAN problem and thankfully I am British and not European.
Our history lecturer pointed out that fascism was very weak in Britain. It was surreal and riddiculous in a well-esatblished democracy like The U.K. Britain in the 1930's was very different to Europe, where bloodshed, chaos, extremism and revolution are the norm.
@britishfirstandlast The facism had and has support from all parts of the world - in England, too. I am not European, i am German. The EU is not a state although the politcians try to make a european state show. The EU is union of free nations. I dont want a super state EU. A new constitution can only come in Germany when the German people direclty vote for it. For sure we wouldnt vote for it.
@DFCEngland Nation first, europe second, E.U. never. We dont need a E.U.. Its enough to have a legaue of Nation, a european version of the U.N.. There is nothing higher than the Nation.

@TheEvilGamePlayers mate, America never helped the Soviet Union during WW2 either, the allies had no possible way of aiding them, so Stalin decided to go in alone against germany. Then there was a RACE to Berlin between the allies and the Soviet Union. of course, as history goes, ivan got there first.

@bsrap That's not true. Britain and the USA shipped enormous quantities of aid to the USSR via Murmansk, Arkangel and Vladivostok. We provided them with trucks, boots, clothing, ammunition, medicine, rubber and many other essential commodities.

@redxenos Very true mate. The Soviet war needed Britain and America.

@redxenos the Soviets did help Britain from a possible second Nazi invasion by stubbornly defended the country by bring in more troops where they should have been ready to invade the British isles!
The Battle of Britain did not stop the threat of invasion until the Soviets starts attacking the German front that Hitler ordered more troops from France to stop them attacking.

@DavBlc7 After the Battle of Britain, the Royal Air Force gained air superiority over North-West Europe which rendered a German invasion very unlikely. Britain was fighting alone then with no help from the Soviets who had shamelessly cooperated with Hitler in invading Poland. The Soviets didn't even start pushing the Germans back until 1943, by which time the Allies had already invaded Italy. So we have no reason to be grateful to the Soviets at all. They were just as bad as the Nazis!

@redxenos
The USSR did the majority of the fighting during the Second World War. Take a look at the casualties chart. Soviets suffered roughly 7 million deaths on the battlefield, Germany and her allies 4.5 million on the eastern front. Germany had like 80% of her armed forces on the Eastern Front, yet the western Allies had TROUBLE slugging through Italy and France. You should damn be grateful for the Soviets.

@Neoarkt There were so many Germans in the eastern front because there were 181 soviet divisions there. If they had put most of their army on the western front, the war would have been quick and painless for everyone but Germany.

@mrtangerine999 I have no idea what your point is, but the Eastern Front dwarfed all other fronts. The sheer scale of battles there were titanic. At the Batle of the Bulge, the Western Allies suffered 90000 casualties. At Stalingrad, the USSR suffered a MILLION casualties, while inflicting 850,000 casualties on Germany and her allies. There were so many German troops on the Eastern Front because it was vastly more important than the Western one.

@TheEvilGamePlayers America wasn't even in WW2 during the Battle of Britain (1940) - there were 5 American pilots out of around 1900, that was it. We were alone against Germany and fought against insurmountable odds and won despite the fact you had more resources, pilots, etc.

Not really. Who won in Africa? Who also landed in Normandy? Who helped just as much as America in Europe? Who won the Battle of Britain? Who beat your navy and airforce? BRITAIN!
mwillis1000 10 months ago
@TheEvilGamePlayers Britain was the only country to remain opposed to the Germans throughout the entire war - the British beat you in the Battle of Britain and secured air dominance over Europe (along with naval dominance) despite the fact you had more pilots and resources than we did and thus leaving the Soviets able to defeat you also. If we didn't win that battle, the USSR would've lost. We had the heavy burden of the outcome on our shoulders. Without Britain D-Day wouldn't have occurred. ^_^

@Oesterreich1156 But together we our a great nation it was not the English, Irish, Scotish or the Welsh that built the british Empire the largest and strongest empire ever known second to none.
It was infact a combination of all four you see we work very well together where as for example you and the Hungarians could not work well thus one of the reasons why you fell.
And sure if we wanted to be another weak powerless pathetic nation that has had its hope amd drea,s grinded into dust ...

@britishfirstandlast The majority of the people in the continent europe dont want a state "EU". So is good that they stop the constitution. Europe shall be a Union of free Nations. Europe shall never be a higher authority than the nation. Europe shall never stand above the nation. Europe shall connect the nations, not more. The people want to be Germans, French, Italians and so on as if they had ever been.

@papadoc711 So its time for the irish unity. All english authority must leave irish ground. England threatens the irish freedom.

@Iron1871 Please study the facts:
1)The people of Northern Ireland are BRITISH, not English. 2)"English" Authority does not exist in Ireland. It is one part of The BRITISH Isles and England is a DIFFERENT part of The British Isles.
3) Northern Ireland is part of The UNITED KINGDOM. It is not part of England.
4) Most people in Northern Ireland and Scotland want to stay with England and Wales.
5) The wars against the Germans strengthened the Unity of the British.

@Iron1871 Just open your mind. When the English visit Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland we are at Home. It's just like moving into anotther room in the same house. Fascism is not British. Cowboys and Indians come from America; Facsists and Communists come from Europe, not Britain.
britishfirstandlast 11 months ago
@britishfirstandlast Read about Oswald Mosley and British Union of Facsists (BUF). Scotland or Ireland is never the home of the english. Scotland belongs to the Scots, Ireland belongs to the Irish. Remember the song of Paul Mc Cartney: Give Ireland back to the Irish.
Iron1871 11 months ago
@Iron1871 I studied History at University and we dealt with Moseley then. Fascism was a non starter in The U.K. because of the moderate nature of the people. This in contrast to Europe where war, revolutions and extremism are perfectly normal.
britishfirstandlast 11 months ago
@britishfirstandlast When you studied history then you learnd that the facism didnt start in Germany. The facism is an international problem not directly connected with the Germans. The NSDAP was found after the WW 1. Italy and Span had facism, too. Hitlers teacher was the italian Mussolini. Hitlers friend was Franco of Spain. The english facistic man was Oswald Mosley with the B.U.F.
Open you mind: Its raceistic when you declear Germans as facistic persons just because being German.
Iron1871 11 months ago
@Iron1871 NO. Fascism is NOT an international problem it is a EUROPEAN problem and thankfully I am British and not European.
Our history lecturer pointed out that fascism was very weak in Britain. It was surreal and riddiculous in a well-esatblished democracy like The U.K. Britain in the 1930's was very different to Europe, where bloodshed, chaos, extremism and revolution are the norm.
britishfirstandlast 11 months ago
@britishfirstandlast The facism had and has support from all parts of the world - in England, too. I am not European, i am German. The EU is not a state although the politcians try to make a european state show. The EU is union of free nations. I dont want a super state EU. A new constitution can only come in Germany when the German people direclty vote for it. For sure we wouldnt vote for it.
