Rise of the Anglosphere


What is the Anglosphere and how did it come to rise into a global pan-ethnic/cultural identity? The Anglosphere is a region of the world that is descended directly from British colonial endeavors from across the world, including North America, Oceania and parts of Africa. Although these countries today such as the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are all overwhelmingly English-speaking today, with a strong historic connection to the culture, traditions, genetics, laws and politics of the British Isles, including England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. These 4 nations off the coast of Europe were united under the banner of the British Empire for centuries and in the diaspora, their descendants melded and fused into a common culture, although of course each various nation has their own historical and cultural quirks derived from their unique situations and migrations patterns. Today, the societies of the Anglosphere are closely connected and enjoy mostly positive relations despite being scattered across the globe and separated by hundreds of years on the colonial timeline. Let me know your thoughts on the Anglosphere and these Anglophone nations, how you believe past actions have helped to shape them in the modern day and where you believe the future will take this quasi-civilizational bloc that may come to converge or diverge with one another in the upcoming century. Thanks for watching!

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
