The greatest of all nations on this
earth; Britain has contributed so much to the world today as we know it. Also arguably one of the most belligerent nations, having had conflicts with
France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Argentina, itself (i.e England against Scotland) and
Ireland (to name only a few!) during its long and fascinating history. Many nations around the world have a real dislike of Britain, due to its resounding successes, a clear example of this being
France. Britain invented ALL of the world'
s best sports; these include
football (the real version), cricket, rugby and golf. The unrivalled leader of the ENGLISH speaking world, Britain has seen its native tongue corrupted by Americans and Australians amongst others. Although the era has passed when Britain ruled almost half of the world's population, its forever remains the benchmark for every country on all of the six continents.
