"The sun never sets on the British Empire" - for years, these words of pride and optimism were used to describe the largest empire in history: Britain. At its pinnacle, the empire spanned every continent and covered one quarter of the Earth's land mass.

Through the centuries, the rulers of this enormous powerhouse used extraordinary engineering feats to become an industrial and military titan, loaded with riches.

Some of their many pioneering accomplishments include the world's first locomotive, a superhighway of underground sewers, the imposing and grand Westminster Palace, and the most powerful and technically advanced navy in the age of sail.

As scandal, violence and drama consumed British royalty at home, the empire surged ahead with these works of engineering innovation that paved the way for the modern world.

  • What? Nothing on how the Empire faded away? Disappointing. I would have liked an elaboration on that.

  • @Graham6762 when we have a holy garden revolution... this year hopefully......Mush love!! =)

  • The water is still poisoned with fluoride and the government loves it. They couldn't care less about dirty water. Poisoned food poisoned water, when will it end.

  • @arsween1 Classically stupid.

  • @mechatech70 prove history has shown this. if you believe evolution then thats where you are getting your information but i can assure no memher of my lineage was ever a monkey therefore none were ever black.

  • @shnicka u r ignorant

  • @shnicka55 You said..."NASTY INBREED WHITE PEOPLE!!!"....and you're surprised I called you racist?.....YABRORLLY....I did watch the video. People sleeping with their family isn't secluded to England. It's happened in every race and culture. It's sick, wrong and fucked up but no race is above it. They didn't have a sewage system. DID YOU WATCH THE VIDEO? They built aqueducts and solved the fucking problem. What's white people gotta do with it? There were whites in Russia when this was going on.

  • it seems like everyone argues on youtube about stupid shit ....just watch the video ....history channel rules !!

  • @DopeMeansDope
