Iron casting allowed the forging of cannon from a single piece. These new cannon could fire faster, farther and with much reduced chance of catastrophic misfire. At the time European vessels were equipped with cannons made from two halves welded together. Hard to tell at range what made these new cannon so much better. I imagine the method of their creation would have been a closely guarded secret at the time. The British we're able to maintain this military advantage for some time. Eurocuck cannons no match for our elite British boomsticks. And the rest, as they say, is history.

>How the fuck did this tiny nation conquer 1/3 of the world??

Britain was very a very special country in terms of location, climate and resources.

It is an island large enough to be a real country but small enough that it can be controlled by a single nation. It is also far enough away from the mainland to protect it from invasion but close enough to still trade.

Despite being far north it has a very mild climate due to the gulf stream. England also has large amounts of fertile farm land. This means it can support a large population comfortably.

It is resource rich in water, rivers suitable for water power, coal and iron. This allowed Britain to develop massive industries and productive power.

These three factors combined made Britain the first true superpower. No nation has ever had the influence of the British Empire at its prime. Without these factors Britain would probably be very similar to Japan and some other European nation would be the major cultural force. (probably France).

>Buuut mah American Revolution.

The British Empire peaked in 1922 over a hundred years after the American Colonies rebelled. Really there were two British Empires (very similar to Rome). The larger one was the 2nd Empire which focused on ruling non-British colonial subjects rather than exporting British citizens to other nations. This is also why the British Empire died so quickly because the subject populations held no real loyalty to the British people, once the threat of force (or bribes) were gone they broke away.

It's time to stop being two faced and embrace the truth.
All wh*Tes have to go back to Europe.

Asia belongs to Asians. Russia is European and have to leave

Africa is for Africans. Afrikaner and Rhodesians have to go back. China will leave Africa.

Australia is aboriginal. Anglo have to go back

North America belongs to the natives. They will go back including their Chink colonizers.

South America is not wh*Te. Argentine, Brazil and various wh*Te countries will go back. Mexicans aren't native. They go back to Spain or Portugal


We will enforce this sooner later. Türk is God's punishment to wh*Tes. Go back.

They rushed the tech tree and got industrialization before everyone else. Also they had a heavy focus on navy, which allowed them to dominate the oceans and control trade and travel.

>>132598057
Very concise post, friend. In my opinion, the biggest threat to an empire is expanding too large to control the population and lands. Britain did it and gave up its colonies. America is about there in the coming years if the globalist kikes' agenda don't take hold and it fractures.

Patronage. We gave franchises to locals who could guarantee order, under the supervision of a governed-general and small troop detachments. If things got out of hand, as a maritime empire, we could deploy reinforcements relatively quickly.

The British Empire would never have succeeded without widespread native complicity. In places where resistance was popular e.g. Afghanistan, we got btfo.

Little about our empire was based on original thought. We followed the Roman model almost precisely. The Roman's were a maritime Empire, based around the Mediterranean sea. Our locus was the Ocean itself. It was our naval technology that enabled us.

Ships to bring in the trade
Trade to fund the Industry
Industry to fund the commerce
Commerce to fund the ships.

I suppose it also helps when your population begins to increase and the nature of your small island forces you to look outward.

The "two Romes" is a good analogy. "Old Rome", or Great Britain, disintegrated in the aftermath of WW2. It had exhausted itself fighting the Germanic hordes.

"New Rome" i.e. Byzantium, or the USA, had eclipsed it's progenitor and was able to sustain itself - even surpass itself. It appeared to be unassailable; the richest and most powerful empire on Earth. The sacking of Constantinople during the Crusades came as a shock to most. No one considered the primitive eastern hordes to be a threat.

One can't see the USA being conquered from the outside, but it may well eat itself. What else is there to eat when you've stripped the bones of everyone else?

It's not so much that the Americans haven't learned from history, or have made mistakes. These things are inevitable. Empires grow too large; entropy increases; the venal perfect their ways of subverting the law and public institutions for their own material gain; treasuries dwindle; austerity is invoked; investment dries up as everyone tries to hold what they have; garrisons are stood down and corrupt local warlords take on the role of provincial governors; the natives revolt at the behest of rival warlords; the empire drowns in a sea of demoralisation and depression; the hyenas move in, to strip the bones of its corpse.

No one has figured out how to prevent this chain of events. They are not technical problems that can be legislated against in their entirety. They are sociological problems related to human fallibility.

Make a video where you take a cooked omelette and remake it into a couple of fresh raw eggs inside their shell, and then I'll agree.

This is why immigration should be more closely considered. Because it has consequences far beyond your lifetime, where you think yeah those foreign guys down the road aren't so bad.

But foreign powers are not just turning up with us unable to prevent them. We aren't asking them to come either. So what exactly is going on there?

Nah it was about trade, that's all. No military conquest, no food, no nothing.

Just trading. The French/Spanish/Portu/Belgians wanted food and thought they could civilise nignogs. We knew and know differently. We want shiny shekels, we are the giga jews, we're more jewy than Israel wearing a kippah, with a menorah up our arses.
