British Empire (1783-1997) - Atrocities of British Empire
With this Historical facts about this most EVIL Empire ever in history of menkind (British Empire), I don't want to insult British people here, but just speak about facts, and fact is; British Empire was the most brutal & evil empire in History of menkind.
I opened this thread as informative Historical thread about what British were in History, for all those who thinks that Nazis were greatest monsters ever (Nazis were monsters, but they're were "kitties" for British Empire), or Mongol Empire, Ottoman Empire etc..., all those Empires had millions of ppl killed, but none of them rivals the British Empire, The British Empire - The most Evil Empire this world has ever seen.
So let's write some FACTS, Historical facts about British Empire and what has that Empire done to this world;
1. The British Empire caused as many as 150 million deaths across Asia, Africa and Europe. I repeat; 150 million deaths from 1783 - 1997.
2. British Imperialists hoarded rice and grain from India, they also dramatically increased harvast taxations, which caused widespread famines that killed 29 million of people.

3. Without any support from the Empire, Indian civilians were forced to eat grass and human flesh to survive.

4. Britain also resorted to use of concentration camps to defeat South African's Boer population at the turn of 20th century, 10% of entire Boer population were killed in this camps, including 22 000 children, who were starved and beaten to death, of the 107,000 people interned in the camps, 27,927 Boers died, along with an unknown number of black Africans.

5. In 1943, up to four million Bengalis starved to death when Winston Churchill diverted food to British soldiers and countries such as Greece while a deadly famine swept through Bengal.

Talking about the Bengal famine in 1943, Churchill said: “I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion. The famine was their own fault for breeding like rabbits.”
This is the man who fought against Evil in WW2? Oh how lucky British were that Hitler ever appeared on World scene, to cover up all this crimes against Humanity, which are unparalleled to any other Empire, state or ideology, but this thread is dedicated for the truth, historical truth.
The British war hero who stood up to the Nazis, may well have starved to death as many innocent people as Stalin did in the Ukrainian genocide. Could the man who held out against Hitler really be capable of such an atrocity? YES!.
6. One of British most ruthless conquests, however, came in 1800's, when British colonists annihilated Tasmania's indigenous population. They forced Aborigine wives to carry the heads of their dead husbands around their necks.

7. The Cyprus interment - The big myth of the British Empire is that it nobly withdrew from its colonies when it realized the days of Imperialism were over. Yet one look at Cyprus proves the myth to be just a feel-good fairy tale. Between 1955 and 1959, the British responded to a Cyrpus rebel bombing campaign by rounding up and torturing 3,000 ordinary Cypriots.
The victims of this internment campaign were often held for years without trial and violently abused for being “suspected” terrorists. Detainees received regular beatings, waterboarding, and summary executions. Children as young as 15 had burning hot peppers rubbed in their eyeballs, while others reported being flogged with whips embedded with shards of iron. Those found guilty of rebel sympathies were relocated to London, where a UK opposition party inspection found inmates with their arms broken and jagged scars running across their necks. In short, it was an appallingly sadistic policy, one that showed the British to be even lower than the terrorists they were meant to be fighting.
8. Crushing the Iraqi revolution - In 1920, the newly-formed nation of Iraq was tiring of British rule. Charged with guiding the new state towards independence, the Empire had instead installed puppet leaders. turning the place into a de facto colony. Fed up with their imperial overlords, the Iraqis turned to revolution, only for the British to unleash wave after wave of atrocities against them.
First the RAF conducted nighttime bombing raids on civilian targets. Then they deployed chemical weapons against the fighters, gassing whole groups of them. But the real horrors came in the aftermath, when the victorious British decided to use collective punishment against the offending tribes.

From that point on, any tribe that caused a fuss would have one of its villages randomly annihilated. Specific orders were given to exterminate every living thing within its walls, from animals to rebels to children. Other villages were subject to random searches. If the British found a single weapon, they would burn the place to the ground, destroy the crops, poison wells, and kill livestock. They’d sometimes target weddings to terrorize the population. In short, the British deliberately targeted civilians in a campaign that lasted the better part of half a decade, all because a few Iraqis had dared to ask for their country back.
9. Exacerbating The Irish Famine - If you want to see why large parts of Ireland still despise anything remotely British, look no further than the Irish Famine. What started out as an ordinary if brutal famine soon became something more like genocide when London sent the psychopathic Charles Trevelyan to oversee relief work.
A proud Christian who believed the famine was God’s way of punishing the “lazy” Irish, Trevelyan was also a fierce devotee of Adam Smith. How fierce? Well, he passionately felt that government should never, ever interfere with market forces, to the extent that he refused to hand out food to the starving Irish. Instead, he instituted a public works program that forced dying people into hard labor building pointless roads so they could afford to buy grain. The only problem was he refused to control the price of grain, with the result that it skyrocketed beyond what the road builders could afford. Trevelyan thought this would encourage cheap imports. Instead it led to a million people starving to death.
10. The Kenyan Camps - In the 1950s, the people of Kenya decided they wanted their nation back. Unfortunately, the people they wanted it back from just happened to be the same guys responsible for every other atrocity on this list. Fearing a countrywide rebellion, the British rounded up 1.5 million people and placed them in concentration camps. What happened in these camps will turn your stomach.

Under slogans like “labor and freedom” and other variations on ” Arbeit macht frei,” inmates were worked to death as slave labor filling in mass graves. Random executions were not-uncommon and the use of torture was widespread. Men were anally raped with knives. Women had their breasts mutilated and cut off. Eyes were gouged out and ears cut off and skin lacerated with coiled barbed wire. People were castrated with pliers then sodomized by guards. Interrogation involved stuffing a detainee’s mouth with mud and stamping on his throat until he passed out or died. Survivors were sometimes burned alive.
11. YouGov poll has found the British public are generally proud of the British Empire and its colonial past. YouGov found 44% were proud of Britain's history of colonialism, with 21% regretting it happened and 23% holding neither view.
The same poll also found 43% believed the British Empire was a good thing, 19% said it was bad and 25% said it was "neither".
