Updated: 28 Oct 2013

The British Empire In Colour - part 1/3 In his book Late Victorian Holocausts, published in 2001, Mike Davis tells the story of the famines which killed between 12 and 29 million Indians(1). These people were, he demonstrates, murdered by British state policy. When an El Nino drought destituted the farmers of the Deccan plateau in 1876 there was a net surplus of rice and wheat in India. But the viceroy, Lord Lytton, insisted that nothing should prevent its export to England. In 1877 and 1878, at height of the famine, grain merchants exported a record 6.4 million hundredweight of wheat. As the peasants began to starve, government officials were ordered "to discourage relief works in every possible way"(2). The Anti-Charitable Contributions Act of 1877 prohibited "at the pain of imprisonment private relief donations that potentially interfered with the market fixing of grain prices." The only relief permitted in most districts was hard labour, from which anyone in an advanced state of starvation was turned away. Within the labour camps, the workers were given less food than the inmates of Buchenwald. In 1877, monthly mortality in the camps equated to an annual death rate of 94%. As millions died, the imperial government launched "a militarized campaign to collect the tax arrears accumulated during the drought." The money, which ruined those who might otherwise have survived the famine, was used by Lytton to fund his war in Afghanistan. Even in places which had produced a crop surplus, the government's export policies, like Stalin's in the Ukraine, manufactured hunger. In the North-western provinces, Oud and the Punjab, which had brought in record harvests in the preceding three years, at least 1.25m died. Three recent books -- Britain's Gulag by Caroline Elkins, Histories of the Hanged by David Anderson and Web of Deceit by Mark Curtis -- show how white settlers and British troops suppressed the Mau Mau revolt in Kenya in the 1950s. Thrown off their best land and deprived of political rights, the Kikuyu started to organise -- some of them violently -- against colonial rule. The British responded by driving up to 320,000 of them into concentration camps(3). Most of the remainder -- over a million -- were held in "enclosed villages". Prisoners were questioned with the help of "slicing off ears, boring holes in eardrums, flogging until death, pouring paraffin over suspects who were then set alight, and burning eardrums with lit cigarettes."(4) British soldiers used a "metal castrating instrument" to cut off testicles and fingers. "By the time I cut his balls off," one settler boasted, "he had no ears, and his eyeball, the right one, I think, was hanging out of its socket"(5). The soldiers were told they could shoot anyone they liked "provided they were black"(6). Elkins's evidence suggests that over 100,000 Kikuyu were either killed by the British or died of disease and starvation in the camps. David Anderson documents the hanging of 1090 suspected rebels: far more than the French executed in Algeria(7). Thousands more were summarily executed by soldiers, who claimed they had "failed to halt" when challenged. These are just two examples of at least twenty such atrocities overseen and organised by the British government or British colonial settlers: they include, for example, the Tasmanian genocide, the use of collective punishment in Malaya, the bombing of villages in Oman, the dirty war in North Yemen, the evacuation of Diego Garcia. Some of them might trigger a vague, brainstem memory in a few thousand readers, but most people would have no idea what I'm talking about. Max Hastings, in the Guardian today, laments our "relative lack of interest in Stalin and Mao's crimes."(8) But at least we are aware that they happened. http://www.monbiot.com/2005/12/27/how...

World Travel https://www.youtube.com/user/World1Tube Glasgow -Scotland Travel Guide, Tourism http://bit.ly/1ax8K87 Glasgow - Scotland Travel Guide, Tourism, Vacation, Attractions Glasgow has seen more changes in the past three decades than almost any other British city. From a declining industrial centre with widespread pessimism about its future, Scotland's biggest city has been transformed into a vibrant, dynamic city hailed as one of the hippest spots in Europe. A large student population has given the city a youthful, progressive character and, with thumping nightlife, one of the strongest live music scenes in the UK, plus first-rate shopping. Glasgow continues to assert itself as one of Britain's most appealing destinations. With several outstanding art galleries, including the high-profile Burrell Collection, and several excellent museums as a starting point, Glasgow was chosen as a European City of Culture in 1990. You can see Glasgow's tradition of great design in the classical architecture of Alexander 'Greek' Thomson and the organic, art nouveau style of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Today, Glasgow's School of Art continues to produce world-class talent. Glasgow has a proud history - the long list of inventors, engineers, writers and architects of the 19th and 20th centuries were part of the driving force of industrialisation, tamed by socially progressive values in the 'second city' of the British Empire. Around 1900, Glasgow was one of the wealthiest cities in the world, which led to a number of lavish Victorian public buildings springing up to symbolise its riches. The city also became an important shipbuilding centre -- it was here that Cunard's QE2 was built - and was well known for its Clydeside engineering works. Despite the subsequent decline of these industries in the 20th century, the devastation wrought by WWll and the profound impact of post-war urban malaise on social housing, jobs, crime and inner city deprivation, Glasgow has bounced back with a definite spring in its step. Since the 1980s, the last 30 years has been seen the city transform, thanks to investment from the city council and the Scottish Development Agency; the riverside area has regenerated and its arts, music and culture scenes are flourishing. Glasgow was declared a UNESCO City of Music in 2008 in recognition of its musically diverse output ranging from classical and contemporary to country and Celtic, while The Turner Prize will be presented here in 2015, the first time the accolade will be handed out in Scotland. Meanwhile, the Merchant City -- one of the city's oldest districts formerly home to monks and merchants -- has been revitalised with boutique hotels, bars, restaurants, shops and galleries now occupying previously derelict market buildings and old warehouses. In addition, Glasgow is preparing to limber up for the international spotlight when it will play host to 4,500 athletes as part of the 20th Commonwealth Games in 2014. Most events will take place in venues spread across the west, south and eastern parts of the city, while over £2 billion has been pumped into improving transport. Thanks to its geographic location, visitors to Glasgow can nip to some of the most stunning landscapes in the country, with Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park less than an hour's drive away and a mecca for adventure and outdoors-lovers. ============================= Glasgow Travel Guide, Glasgow Tourism, Glasgow Vacation, Glasgow Attractions, Scotland Travel Guide, Scotland Tourism, Scotland Vacation, Scotland Attractions, Glasgow, Scotland , Europe, Glasgow Shopping, Glasgow Hotels, Glasgow Introduction, Glasgow Museums, Glasgow Restaurants, Glasgow Transport, Travel Guide, Tourism, Vacation, Attractions, United Kingdom === Glasgow - Scotland Travel Guide, Tourism, Vacation, Attractions

Cyprus Travel Video Guide - With beautiful villages surrounded by vineyards and cities full of trendy art galleries, spas and restaurants, to shipwreck diving, skiing on snow-covered mountains and strolls around fabulous archaeological sites, colourful Cyprus is every inch a sophisticated Mediterranean destination. The island, which legend has it was where Aphrodite, the ancient Greek goddess of love and beauty, was born at the picturesque Petra Tou Romiou near Paphos, lies on the fringes of Europe at a point where Asian, Middle Eastern and European cultures merge. While giving the island a rich mix of traditions, cuisine and music, Cyprus's strategic position has also made it desirable to countless powers over millennia. All have left their mark on all Cyprus Travel Guides. In fact, Cyprus's history is legendary. More than 10,000 years of history has seen periods of rule by the ancient Mycenaean Greeks and Byzantines, and invasions by the Persians and Ottomans. The Romans, Venetians and the Lusignans, along with England's Richard the Lionheart -- who acquired Cyprus in the 12th century -- have all ruled, before it became part of the British Empire in the 19th century, independent in 1960 and divided fourteen years later..

World Travel London Travel Guide Shepherd Entertainment takes you on a tour of the London Tower, a piece of history in the present, surrounded by a wall that has served just a residence of kings, as a fortress, a prison and arsenal, as a mint and it even as a zoo. Today, it functions as a museum and treasury. Visit the London Tower in the United Kingdom The tower is a piece of history in the present, surrounded by a wall that has served just a residence of kings, as a fortress, a prison and arsenal, as a mint and it even as a zoo. Today, it functions as a museum and treasury. The Royal crown jewels are guarded here. The first king to take residence here was William the Conqueror, the last James I. As prisoners, such illustrious guests enjoyed the hospitality of the tower as the bishop of Durham, Henry VI, Tomas Morris and the wives of Henry Vİ. The last prisoner to live here was Rudolf Hess during World War II. The terrorist brought directly in the bank of the Thames. The concentric walls are more or less pentagonal in shape, and partially include the ancient Roman city wall from the times of Julius Caesar. The entrance to the building complex is through the middle tower. The towers of the interior wall system each have very revealing names, Bloody Tower, Flint Tower, Broad Arrow Tower, and governor tower. The history of the tower is entwined with a long and exciting history of London in England from the conquest of the Romans to the Norman invasions to the War of the Roses. There are two significant buildings within the fort walls, the white tower which served as a residence of kings and the garrison which now serves as the royal treasury. According to legend, with the black ravens that lived here leave the tower, it means the fall of the British Empire. The lively presentations by tour guides and period customs help us understand the events of the past. Well, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to her majesty's palace who portrays the tower of London. I'm dressed in the clothes of a man who has just returned from hunting in the 13th century. I supposed the heyday of the tower of London. There are of course those who do not don their uniforms as mere customs. We're familiar with these Beefeaters from the labels of Jean Badels. They are the selected few who make up the elite guards in men unit of her majesty, officially known as Yeomen Warders, the Beefeaters and the guards keep a watchful eye over the world treasury whether Royal jewels or cat. The collection includes St. Edwards and Queen Victoria's crown as well as the state sword, the royal orb and the world's largest diamond, the 530 karat star of Africa which is encased in the Royal scepter. The crown of Queen Elizabeth, the imperial state ground was made for her father in 1937 and is adorned with 2868 diamonds, 17 sapphires, eleven emeralds and five rubies. Looking down from Tower Bridge, we can see that the white tower is actually round in shape and that its four towerettes are different from each other. The Norman Fryer Gundulf built the tower on orders of King William on the ruins of the small ford of the Saxon king offered. The walls of the white tower are four meters thick. But the stocking is optically masked by the white stone inlays found at the corner edges of the tower. Many of ruler made an appearance here, some willingly and some not so. Some departed from here to their coronation ceremony and some to their own executions. When such executions scaffold they're still visible today and the museum just placed the blocked in hatchet used for decapitations. The weapons exhibit also displays the armored kings as well as life sized models of their horses. King Richard İ with Shakespeare later portrayed as the wretched soul main character and one of his famous works had as two nephews killed in the bloody tower. The remains of the two little princes were found two centuries later, and laid to rest in Westminster Abbey. The museum in exhibit set up in the towers and buildings of the tower are not at all like those where historic items are encased in glass showcases away from dust and curious hands. Like most museums in London, here too, the collection comes alive with hands-on interactive and informative exhibits that challenged the mind. In front of the building complex known as the Queen's house just in front of Buckingham Palace, bare skin had at centuries around duty though the changing of the guards here at the house is less spectacular than the one at the palace.

I am going to make a larger series about the UK's history and maybe the USA's This is meant to be a informative video on a history of the Empire and why the World is the way it is today. It is not meant to be a biased video towards England (where I live) or any other country of the UK. It was inspired by CGP Grey's video on "the United Kingdom Explained". I wanted to do something on Empire. Every Video will have a question at the start about the lands e.g. Gibraltar. The CGP Grey video is here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNu8XDBSn10 Subscribe for more
