Four stages of London's history
Ordinary British people think so. The early history of Britain is a history of oppression and tear in which the British Island was constantly squeezed, invaded and conquered by powerful European nations and regimes. For example, Caesar defeated the Celts, the Anglo-Saxons destroyed Rome and Britain, and the Vikings and Normans conquered England. Then, in order to obtain rich and fertile land in France, the British monarch continued to fight against the French king. It was the king of England who conquered Wales, Ireland and Glen.

Then came the rise of the British Empire, which defeated Spain, Holland, France, Russia and China successively and gained large colonies in North America, India, Nanyang, Black Africa, the Far East and the Middle East. The British believe that this is a civilized Ingrid's behavior of bringing modern civilization and justice to the uncivilized nation that has been in darkness for centuries. Of course, the invaded China, Indian and Egyptian may not think so. In the final analysis, it is still a matter of position. Colonists, missionaries, left-wing intellectuals, bottom workers, sailors and soldiers should all look at the problem from different angles. The British upper class, whose ancestors rose from slavery and sugar trade, will not have the same view from the anthropology lecturer at Cambridge University. However, I found the words of the colonized, whether they were Indian princes, Arab chiefs, West Indian elites studying in London, Pakistani porters or Bangladeshi sailors. In front of the British, they may say that British colonial rule scored seven points, while in private, they will show their deep hatred for the white regime.
