Another wonderful example of bullshit.
Open trade with India & Africa pre roman times ? The Egyptians did some trading with neighbouring states sure, but thats it.
Going through the posts in this thread, sheesh..people sure like to post crap about things they know nothing about.
Dear God you are a moron sir.
There is clear and undisputable evidence that items from as far afield as the middle east turned up in Britain in the bronze age.
You gonna post about people knowing nothing? Take a long hard look at yourself.
True Sharma,
Back OT, in summary, Africa, fuck um
You really are an ignorant piece of shit.
Now while I will not appologise for my views I can understand that not everyone feels the same but I don't really care tbh. People who feel they should feel responsible in some way for problems in other countries are free to feel that way. Despite what some angry teenagers may think I am not racist, I despise the lazy whatever colour they are.
The wonderful world of freedom of speech and opinion.

No they didn't, Germany wouldn't have been able to invade the UK, we had already dominated them in the air and were winning at sea. Yes they made it possible to push into France and eventually Germany but the didn't bail us out.
yes they did. If America hadnt of got involved, germany would of owned europe and we would of eventually been invaded. The industrial might of america, in the main, won the war.
well, it would have a been a long war of attrition without the states, but we would have won ( vast arsenal of V2s would have been a prob though) people here have all but forgotten the Ruskies. The states would have joined the war eventually, but not to taker on the Jerries, but to stop the Russian advance !

The blitz did nothing to damage our military though, if anything it improved our resolve. Hitler ordered the Luftwaffe to stop attacking airfields and move onto cities which gave the RAF time to regroup and rebuild and then win the air war, without air superiority the war was lost for the Germans.
With the war in Africa all but won by Britain they were also running out of resources. America played a massive part in bringing a relatively quick end to the war but saying we were bailed out is just stupid. We would have eventually ground the Germans down by destroying their industry, along with the Russians on the eastern front it was just a matter of time. Hitler lost the war by going over the heads of his generals and making some mad decisions.
He knew we would be a threat which is why he tried to get us on his side. Even down to Dunkirk when they could have finished us off completely he hesitated.
Anyway, it doesn't really matter now does it, Europe still dislikes the UK because of our history and can't quite accept that without us you would be nothing. You have to ask yourselves how such a small country, both population and size achieved so much and is still one of the "world leaders" both politically and financially.
I am proud of my country and think everyone should be proud of theirs, if the bitter and the jealous have a problem with that then its their problem, not mine![]()

We can start on how western democracy (for all its failings) is built on the British model, with the magna carta and so on. How about the industrial revolution in the north of England and the Midlands changing the world? Or maybe our advances in science?
