Brits give the props.

[Little Raven]

To their homies.

Though I admit, as nice as this is, I desperately hope this sort of message is unnecessary, especially in Britain. I realize Bush hasn't exactly endeared us to the rest of the world, but geez, he's just one man, who will be gone in good time. America endures.

 

[Chandrasekhar]

Glad to see we're getting some appreciation around here.

 

[Masquerouge]

Wow. Just wow. I find this kind of message, and the way it's delivered, unsettling.

 

[FriendlyFire]

ROFLMAO

Had British controlled the US its hegomonic power probably would have prevented ww1, ww2 communsion and facism. Can you imagine British empire spanning half the globe maintaining pax britanina. Although ww1 did end imperalistic wars and usher in a new age.

I think international politics are a bit more complex than this.

YOU NEED US. BADLY. YOU POOR FOOLS WOULD NEVER HAVE CONCEIVED OF THE LIGHTBULB WITHOUT OUR NATION EXISTING. BOW BEFORE YOUR GOD.
*sigh*
a world where america lost the rebellion would be a world with a larger mexico, a francophone state of Louisiane in the great plains and a fairly unimportant canada type country along the eastern american coast. Alaska would be a Taiwan-like White Russian remnent after the Civil war of Russia, and probably would have been re-united in 1991.
World War Two would still have many troops coming from the americas [louisiane being loyal to france as australia was to britain, likewise for the american state]
and things would have ended up much the same in europe.
Japan would have been taken down by the soviet union, although would take longer than historically without a US navy to combat the Imperial Japanese Navy
many advances were indeed made in the US, however these advances didnt depend upon the USA existing. the african former slaves would still exist in Louisiane and America [east coast], still have been a fairly impoverished class and would probably still have developed jazz, then rock`n`roll.

Even if america lost the revolutionary war, we would of rebbeled eventually. All of britains other colonies did.

"rebel"? Ok, Ireland did [, 1916]
but Australia, Canada and New Zealand were given autonomy which just increased until they were independant. in any case, they all sent troops to Britain for the War [EG; ANZACS]

 

[cubsfan6506]

WW2 and WW1 wouldnt of happened the same way.

But a world without Isreal great.

Germany might have been defeated quicker, what with american troops coming in since the beginning of the war. Germany would still have had the humiliating peace terms, and the Nazis would have capitalised on that as historically.

Forgot india.

 

[cubsfan6506]

Have you ever heard of the butterfly effect. The odds that a indenticle nazi movement would of even happened is unfathamly stupid.

Hong Kong was handed over to China peacefully. I would say most, not all.

Have a lollipop.

As an American, I did not like this video short.

The Soviet Union would have lasted longer because it wouldn't have been involved in an arms race with the US.

The world would be less advanced without the US. Although the rest of the world is certainly capable of developing the advances the US produced, the loss of the research funded by the US would have slowed things down.

No Isreal? I thought the British were behind that one. Certainly, a larger commonwealth resulting from a failure of the American Revolution would have left Britain no less capable of such things.

The complexity of history makes it nearly impossible to predict things in detail, so I'll stop here.

The Soviet Union wouldn't have lasted at all had the Americans not given them supplies to fight the Nazis. tee hee.
