[QUOTE="arcobob, post: 6985864, member: 4112"] I would be interested to know where your ancestors are scattered around the world and why. The British Empire which you despise was co-founded by all peoples of Great Britain at the time and the empire provided a living to vast numbers of emigrants from all parts of these islands and many other parts of Europe. You may not like the way the empire was won but you cannot deny that it provided opportunities for vast numbers of people so I would wager that many of your ancestors reaped the benefits. Remember also that other European countries also had empires from which their descendants benefited hugely and in some cases still do. Many of the naval battles of past centuries were not about home defence but supremacy on the high seas permitting empire building from which many Europeans have benefited over the years even though they did not participate directly at the time. I know your answers will contain a spewing of anti English crap but just remember that not all British were English. [/QUOTE]
