Fact Articles predominantly based on historical research, official reports, court documents and open source intelligence. The author of the table is unconfirmed, although it is thought it may have originally been drawn up by a Dutch company as an attempt to help employees working in the UK. Other simple British expressions that could be misunderstood It agonized over whether to support Russia and France. I think at the heart of Britain's anxieties it came down really to Britain fearing German domination of Europe because if a victorious but hostile Germany dominated the continent and threatened Britain's position in the world that was just intolerable for Britain.
How Britain Really Works, by Stig Abell - Financial Times
How Britain Really Works is a guide to Britain and its institutions (the economy, the military, schools, hospitals, the media, and more), which explains just how we got to wherever it is we are. It will not tell you what opinions to have, but will give you the information to help you reach your own. By the end, you will know how Britain works – or doesn’t. Archive Clip: "People from all walks of life including doctors, lawyers, reporters, from the West Indies they're being taught side by side with English men and women to operate all the latest types of machinery in the united effort to beat Hitler and his gang." The Climate Emergency Byline Times‘ coverage of the consequences of, and responses to, the climate crisis There's this huge inequality of wealth that underpins British life at the turn of the 20th century. Only two-thirds of men have got the right to vote, absolutely no woman has the right to vote. So I'd say by the time you get to 1914 this is quite a volatile country. Except that's not really true. In 1940 the British Empire controlled a quarter of the world's population and a fifth of its land mass. All of which, bar Ireland, was also at war with Germany. Thousands of aircraft, millions of men, and billions of pounds poured in from across the sea to keep Britain in the fight.Change the plan you will roll onto at any time during your trial by visiting the “Settings & Account” section. What happens at the end of my trial? The poll, reported first by Byline Times shows that the public think the Tories are failing on almost every major issue. It’s damning stuff. Here are the results: As an island nation, Britain just did not have the manpower to be able to fight across so many global fronts. The Indian army provided a huge 2.5 million soldiers across the world. They were fighting in Burma, in North Africa and in Italy.

The lifeblood of the British Empire was the sea. The Royal Navy policed the waves so that its merchant ships could trade across the globe. This brought the British Empire vast wealth, but not all of its citizens were able to share in it. Many overseas subjects were demanding greater freedom from the empire to control their own affairs, while at home domestic issues threatened to boil over.

Cronyism and Corruption Byline Times uncovers the nepotism that greases the wheels of British politics. That’s now been reflected in an opinion poll in which Brits have given their damning verdict on 13 years of Tory rule. 58% agree with the statement that “nothing in Britain really works anymore, and 52% agree that “Britain’s best days are behind it”. Some were forced to enlist and fight or forced to work across the empire others were paid less than their British counterparts or barred from certain establishments and countries with little wealth of their own lent or gave away huge sums of money. Britain had also broken its promise to defend its Empire. Multiple territories like Hong Kong, Singapore, and Burma fell to the Japanese during the war. For many, all of this betrayed a Britain prioritizing its own survival over the needs of its Empire. Having given so much to the Allied cause, people in colonies like India saw a relationship that was not reciprocal.The causes of the First World War are complex, they're still debated to this day. The nations didn't realize it at the time, but their attempts to defend what they perceived as their own national interests created a war that would shape Europe for decades to come. Most participants expected the war to be over by Christmas, but as we know the reality was very different. Archive Clip: "Canada became an immense training school a school where the pupils had to learn the grim game of spreading death in the skies." By 1941 Canada had opened 150 new factories to support the war effort. Their annual output reaching 800 million pounds worth of goods and it wasn't just Canada. Not used as a heartfelt apology, rather it is used to avoid an embarrassing situation. Saying sorry is like a national tic. So did Britain really stand alone against Nazi Germany? How much did the empire contribute to allied victory? And did that contribution cause the empire to crumble after the second world war?

Archive Clip: "The alarm sounded and the many peoples of the Empire sprang to answer the call for service in the cause of liberty and justice. The men from Canada, from New Zealand, from Australia, from South Africa and many others fell in and the Empire marches."

To produce all of these ships, planes, and tanks Britain of course needed raw materials which again came from across the Empire. Trinidad and Tobago were the allies' largest producers of oil. Ceylon, which is now Sri Lanka, produced sixty percent of Allied rubber and Nauru exported one million tons of phosphate annually. Nigeria sent tin, the Gold Coast sent manganese, and Gambia sent ground nuts. Anything you can think of the British Empire was mining, making, or growing it and sending it to Britain. Britain really initially admired this new nation, Britain really actually thought as a friend but imperial Germany soon began to threaten Britain's sense of supremacy. Its determination to up its industrial output, up its military strength, and most crucially for Britain build a rival fleet of warships. Austria-Hungary sets out to punish Serbia it wants to quash support for Serbian nationalism. It's encouraged by its ally Germany. So after Serbia failed to meet the terms of a very draconian ultimatum Austria-Hungary declares war on Serbia and this act of war this stirs up these old tensions and anxieties right across the continent because it draws in supporters and allies on both sides. Archive Clip: "This has left Britain alone at bay. The future of the whole civilized world rests on the defense of Britain." Alongside the collaboration between Britain and its Empire, there was also exploitation. There was also racism and prejudice against these people that had given up so much to fight and work for Britain. These are stories that shouldn't be forgotten and do also need to be highlighted when we talk about Britain and its Empire.
