Answer 3

A lot actually without britain the U.S. we have today wouldn't exsist the way it does. And same with several other countries that were at one point a colony of britain. Britain is an almost 2000 year old nation that has had strong influences over the entire world during its time one way or another. So I would say that the world would be very different without britain.

Answer 4

English - The language of Angles Which is considered the language of civilized world. A West Germanic language originating in England, is the first language for most people of Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It is used extensively as a second language and as an official language throughout the world, especially in the Commonwealth of Nations.

Royalty -The funny antics of the UK Royals that has been of interest all over the world at all the time.

Cricket - Cricket has been an established team sport for hundreds of years. It originated in its modern form in England and is popular mainly in the present and former members of the Commonwealth.

Colonization - Which indeed is an evil was essentially propagated by Britain. But it may seem to have been a necessary evil at the time. It has its own merits and demerits. Many old world worlds attained modernity because of this.

Answer 5

Industrialisation - but that originated in the part of Britain that is ignored by the government now (the north). When that left Britain (and we were left with leisure and eat-till-fat), the South East took the reigns.
