Hey guys welcome to ….. British nationalism!
So first off, I had no idea what Nationalism is, so I searched it up!
Here’s what I found: Nationalism is devotion and loyalty to your country, it could be as serious as idolizing your country above all other countries.
Then what is British Nationalism?: British nationalism is the fact that Britain is a nation and promotes loyalty to Britain and being British.
One of the main periods of British nationalism and a time where England was at the peak of its power was the Victorian era. The Victorian era was the reign of Queen Victoria Daughter of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent. Her reign of 63 years and 216 days was the longest of all of the people before her. Form when she was 18 in June 1837 to January 1901 when she was 81!
There were many inventions and discoveries in the Victorian era, including the inventions of the telescope, the sewing machine, the type writer, and the bicycle. With the power and discovery that came from the Victorian era, England decided to colonize more. They colonized many places over seas so they could provide England with valuable materials like metals and sugar. Englands colonizing spread its rule and power beyond its boarders. This brought huge changes to societies, industries, and cultures in other countries.
For this project I put all of the information I learned from researching into a video! Making the video was quite fun. I first planned it in an organizer, then I wrote a script for the video. Finally, I filmed all of the different shots, for example me talking to the camera, and I even made some animations to make the video more exciting.
Here’s my video!:
