Fencing
The British elite carried out the genocide of their people, eliminating most of the English peasantry as a class, a process called "fencing".
In the XV-XVI centuries. against vagabonds and beggars, the Tudors enacted a series of laws that they called the "Bloody Legislation." These laws introduced severe punishments for people accused of vagrancy and begging. Those who were caught were scourged, branded, given into slavery - for a while, and in the case of an attempt to escape and for life, at the third capture they were executed.
The main victims of these repressive measures were the peasants who were driven from the land as a result of the processes of the so-called. enclosures. The "Bloody Legislation" was initiated by the 1495 statute of King Henry VII. The statutes of 1536 and 1547 were especially cruel to people. The 1576 law provided for the creation of workhouses for the poor, where people were actually turned into slaves, working in inhuman conditions for a bowl of gruel. The 1597 "Punishment of Tramps and Stubborn Beggars" Act of 1597, passed by parliament, established the final formulation of the law on the poor and tramps and operated in this manner until 1814.
Irish genocide
The British killed more than half of the Irish in ten years. The population of Ireland before the conquest by the British exceeded the population of England at times.

One of the most famous acts of the Irish genocide was the invasion of Cromwell. He arrived with an army in 1649, and the cities of Drogheda and Wexford near Dublin were taken by storm. In Drogheda, Cromwell ordered the massacre of the entire garrison and Catholic priests, and in Wexford the army itself carried out a massacre without permission. Within 9 months, Cromwell's army conquered almost the entire island. People in Ireland at that time were worth less than wolves - English soldiers were paid 5 pounds for the head of a "rebel or priest" and 6 pounds for a wolf's head.
The genocide of the Irish continued in the centuries that followed: in 1691, London passed a series of laws that deprived Irish Catholics and Protestants who did not belong to the Anglican Church of freedom of religion, the right to education, the right to vote and the right to public service.
The land scarcity of Irish peasants became the main reason for the terrible famine that began in Ireland in the 1740s and was repeated a century later, in 1845-1849, due to the drive of small tenants from the land (Irish "fencing") and the abolition of the "corn laws", diseases potatoes. As a result, 1.5 million Irish people died and began a massive emigration across the Atlantic Ocean, mainly to the United States.
So, from 1846 to 1851, 1.5 million people left, migration has become a permanent feature of the historical development of Ireland and its people. In 1841-1851 alone, the island's population fell by 30%. And in the future Ireland was rapidly losing its population: if in 1841 the population of the island was 8 million 178 thousand people, then in 1901 - only 4 million 459 thousand people.
Slave trade
Ireland became the largest source of "human cattle" for English merchants. Most of the first slaves sent to the New World were white.
During the 1650s alone, more than 100,000 Irish children between the ages of 10 and 14 were taken from their parents and sent as slaves to the West Indies, Virginia and New England.
English masters began to use Irish women for both personal pleasure and profit. The children of the slaves were themselves slaves. Even if a woman somehow gained freedom, her children remained the property of the owner.
Over time, the British came up with a better way to use these women (in many cases girls as young as 12) to augment their wealth: the settlers began to interbreed them with African men to produce slaves of a special kind.
England continued to ship tens of thousands of white slaves for over a hundred years.
After 1798, when the Irish rebelled against their oppressors, thousands of slaves were sold to America and Australia. One British ship even threw 1,302 slaves overboard in the open ocean to give the crew more food.
Irish slaves were distinguished from their free relatives by the brand with the owner's initials, which was applied with a red-hot iron to the forearm of women and to the buttocks of men. White slaves were perceived as sexual concubines. And whoever did not fit his taste was sold in brothels.
It was on the shoulders of white slaves that the development of the colonies of the New World, modern USA, fell. Africans joined their ranks later.
But the Anglo-Saxons prefer not to remember about "white slavery". They have one version of history, in which they have brought the light of civilization to "backward peoples" for centuries.
For some reason, they do not make films about centuries of genocide of the Irish, do not write articles, do not trumpet at all corners.
Opium Wars
England was able to establish a massive supply of opium to China, receiving in return huge material values, gold, silver and fur. In addition, the military-strategic goal was achieved - the disintegration of the Chinese army, officials, people, their loss of the will to resist.
As a result, in order to get rid of the corrupting influence of opium and save the country, the Chinese emperor in 1839 began a massive operation to confiscate and destroy opium stocks in Canton. Colonial ships loaded with opium just started to sink into the sea. In fact, this was the world's first attempt to combat drug trafficking at the state level. London reacted with a war - the opium wars began, China was defeated and was forced to accept the enslaving conditions of the British state drug mafia.
Great Britain imposed the "Nanking Treaty" beneficial for itself on the Qing Empire. Under the treaty, the Qing Empire paid Great Britain a large contribution, transferred the island of Hong Kong for perpetual use and opened Chinese ports for British trade. The English crown received a huge source of income from the sale of opium. In the Qing Empire, a long period of weakening of the state and civil strife began, which led to the enslavement of the country by the European powers and a gigantic spread of drug addiction, degradation and mass extinction of the population.
It was only in 1905 that the Chinese authorities were able to adopt and begin to implement the phased opium ban program. Until now, China has the toughest anti-drug policy in the world, and the fight against drugs is the most important task of the state.
Andersonville - First Concentration Camp
The first concentration camps, in the modern sense of the word, were created by the British Lord Kitchener in South Africa for Boer families during the Boer War of 1899-1902. The Boer detachments brought the British a lot of trouble, so it was decided to create "concentration camps". In order to deprive the Boer partisans of the ability to supply and support the local population, the British concentrated farmers in specially designated areas, actually dooming them to death, because the supply of the camps was extremely poorly supplied.
Some Boers were generally taken out of their homeland, sent to similar camps in India, Ceylon and other British colonies.
In total, the British drove about 200 thousand people into the camps - this was about half of the white population of the Boer republics. Of these, about 26 thousand people, according to the most conservative estimates, died from hunger and disease, most of the dead are children, the weakest to trials.
So, in a concentration camp in Johannesburg, almost 70% of children under the age of 8 died. Within one year, from January 1901 to January 1902, about 17 thousand people died of hunger and disease in the "concentration camps": 2484 adults and 14284 children.
Bengal famine of 1943-1944
Not for the faint of heart!
The Bengal famine was an "artificial holocaust" caused by the policies of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
In 1942, a bountiful harvest was reaped in Bengal. However, with the start of the war, the British government introduced surplus appropriation in Bengal, exporting 159 thousand tons of rice per year from the province (rice was included in the British soldiers rations), and in the first seven months of 1942 - 183 thousand tons. In addition, British administrators, fearing the Japanese invasion of Bengal, confiscated all boats (up to 30,000 pieces) from the peasants and residents of cities and villages, burned rice stocks in panic and simply shoveled tons of rice into the Ganges with shovels (so that the Japanese would not get it). This, incidentally, killed on the vine and fishing.
Heaps of people rushed to the coast, where the regular British army was stationed. Attacks on army rice storage and collection points for boats led to monstrous losses at the hands of the military - up to 300 thousand people in a couple of months. Some crowds of starving zombies were shot by the military with cannons and planes.
In this situation, the Viceroy of India appealed to the Secretary of State for Colonial Affairs, Leo Emery, with a request to stop exporting and start importing rice and grain to Bengal. Emery went to Churchill, but Sir Winston said simply: "Let them die, they will still breed like rabbits again." Grain exports from Australia and New Zealand began to the metropolis rather than Bengal.
Winston Churchill was the last of many bloody despots who controlled the fate of India during more than 200 years of British rule. He said, “I hate Hindus. They are brutal people with a bestial religion."
An amazing story happened to Sir Winston - they were ashamed to put him in the same cohort with Hitler, Stalin, and Mao Zedong. Well, of course, the leader of the democratic west, a war hero, and then there is a famine.
Meanwhile, the crowds of refugees began to go crazy in droves. Eyewitnesses describe such cases when a crowd of almost skeletons rushes en masse from a cliff into an abyss. Dogs and jackals, huddled in flocks, ran around the cities and villages, attacking lonely people and eating them right on the streets. The total number of deaths from November 1942 to November 1943 is estimated by the British at 2.1 million, and by the Indians at 3-4 million. I must say that Indian studies are closer to the truth, since the British do not attribute victims of disease to victims of hunger. Like, from hunger - this is from hunger, and malaria or typhoid - maybe he was sick with them anyway, although it is clear that these diseases just accompany hunger.
Hitler's hatred of the Jews led to the Holocaust. Britain's hatred of Indians has killed at least 60 million people, including about a million during the Bengali famine. The Bengali famine is larger than the Jewish Holocaust. According to official history, it took Hitler 12 years to exterminate 6 million Jews, but the British doomed nearly 4 million Indians to starvation in 15 months!
It is understandable why Hitler and his associates were Anglophiles, they were equal to the "white brothers" from London, who long before them covered the planet with a network of concentration camps and prisons, suppressing any signs of resistance with the most brutal terror, creating their own "World Order". If you look at the history of English colonialism, you can see that they created their own variants of living space in Canada, USA, Australia and New Zealand after the genocide of the indigenous population.
