As an American I don’t know much about British history. Today I am very interested in learning about 10 of the most British things ever that actually originally came from other countries. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!

Football ⚽️ as its played today, was invented by the British though.
A tad silly but fun! They missed a trick, though, with the biggest thing we ‘stole’ – the English language!🤣 Yes, we still use Anglo Saxon words (and many of these came from what we now call Germany) but we stole a lot of Latin words from those pesky Romans and later did the same with those invaders from France (1066) giving us too many words to mention (and many ways of saying the same thing!) plus many words from the ‘empire’ eg bungalow (India).
As for ball games, well the game IS the Rules for any game (or sport), and the basic rules for Association Football (surely the most popular ball game on the planet) were indeed invented/devised +printed by Sheffield Football Club, a small football club, in 1859. Prior to that every club and school had their own rules so it was difficult for clubs + schools to play each other – whose rules should prevail? The SFC printed rules were slowly adopted by other clubs and in 1863 formed the basis of the Rules for the newly formed Football Association of England. The rest is history!
I remember growing up in the 70/80s an we use to have western baked beans an they were a smoky BQ flavour an there was a picture of a cowboy on the tin.
Another great vlog tyler
I think they're stretching it with football, Freddie Mercury and the Queen. Firstly, because when people decide to move to another country, it doesn't mean that country stole their descendants. And with football, think of it like pyramids. Egyptians built them, as did the ancient South American tribes with no way of knowing what was going on in Egypt. The origins of modern football date back to England in the Middle Ages (500 to 14/1500CE), at a time when it's very unlikely Brits of the era would have much, if any, knowledge of things happening in China or Greece.
The title was click bait. The title should have said 'Things that Britain made their own' And one they missed off was Indian Food.
You should do a video of trying Greg's if you go to the uk.
Having grown up as a Brit reading the Laura ingles Wilder books I’ve always known ‘baked beans’ we American. Cooked by cowboys usually with molasses in the original recipe .
Dried beans would have stored, travelled well and would already have been grown on the continent before colonisation started. I think anyway
British Pubs are not British because the Romans brought them here1940 ish years ago. The British stole the pub because the Romans invaded the land when it was inhabited by tribes more than 700 years before any actual country was established…That blokes an absolute Wanker.
Baked Beans were created by Native Americans and stolen by Colonists in New England then imported to England where it became popular.
Baked beans are lovely on toast with melted cheese on top of them, don't knock it till you've tried it! 😊
Heyy Tyler, really nice video, I was wondering if I can help you by better video editing and also make highly engaging short. Let me know to have my portfolio or your edited sample video.
Cheers,

Tyler, I feel your sceptical stances during this reaction are well founded. Credulity is being tested to the limit by these “long-tailed” routes to the roots of these things.😂
An idiot learning from someone who states facts that are not true, no wonder this Tyler is like he is. Fish is fried all over the world but only the English combined Fish with Chips.
I like tea a lot I don't drink coffee. K am not from the UK
That was funny when Tyler was shocked about baked beans being American! 😂
I dont think it's 'cool' that uk assimilated things from other cultures. Britain assembled an enpire. We stole from all over the world. But i suppose that's how history works.
Please take them back, we hate baked beans in my house, yuck.
The queen was born in Mayfair, not far from old Bond Street, her husband was Greek hence the nick name, Phil the Greek.
If you go back even further b with the royal family there are some vikings there
The country your born in is what natio amity you are , so why Americans think they are Irish is mindblowing 😅
Another famous British actor with Indian roots is Sir Ben Kingsley. His father is from the Gujarat, India and his real name is Krishna Pandit Bhanji. He was born in the UK though. His most famous role was playing Gandhi for which he won an Oscar.
Calling the Queen German is a bit of a stretch. Most of us have ancestors from other countries including myself. 🇮🇳
I have never heard that baked beans are British, I thought they were US.
We had the biggest empire in history, almost everything we have we stole at some point or another.
"This video is diving into technicalities" I'd go further, it's bullshit.
