I know I've kinda nicked the title of CP's thread and tailored it a tad bit but wot wos/were the best period(s) in your country's history?
For me there are several - in no particular order.
1) When we kicked the Spanish Armada's butt despite having a smaller navy.
2) Successfully defended ourselves against Nazi Germany in the Battle Of Britain despite the overwhelming odds against us.
3) Beating the French several times over the course of history;
a) Beating them on their own soil at the Battle Of Agincourt against a French army more than the twice the size of ours.
b) Kicking them out of Canada.
c) Kicking them out of India.
d) Beating them at the Battle Of Waterloo and Trafalgar.
e) Shipping Napoleon off to some remote island in the Atlantic Ocean.
f) Etc, etc, etc
4) The Industrial Revolution
5) The British Empire
6) 1966
