  1. Only the Dutch can claim this, the Normans only took England

    Fair play though, the Stuarts were horrible absolutist Scottish radges who deserved to be replaced by an asthmatic Dutch midget

  2. Does Britain itself count though? We overthrew Charles I, had a period of Puritanism shite, then opted to restore the throne with Charles II in the restoration (and he got a bit choppy too).

  3. Well, the Danish Viking king Svend Tveskæg (Forkbeard) did crown himself king of England and established the royal house of Denmark… which was him and his son, Knud the Great.

  4. Well, technically Phillip II was king of England in a short period.

  5. And messed up Ireland in the process. To all former colonies, we Europeans aren’t racist, we fuck up every country we set foot in.

  6. no need to overthrow them when the royal family is German.

    House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha

  7. Every time i read something about our country its more based than the last time. Already forgot about the glorious revolution, god we are so superior.

    Mark my words 200 years from now the whole of Europe will be 2 meters and eat kapsalon and stamppot

  8. Germany should be yes, since the german houses Sachsen-Coburg and Gota are now the british royal families

  9. Aah the Dutch invasion in 1688 or the Glorious Revolution known to them. Insanely well done I must say. Some still believe the 350 years old propaganda about it just being a ‘invitation’.

    Jonathan Israel British historian has some good insights about this. A must read to understand this historical event.

  10. The Normen were danish-Frenchmen.
    Plus the danish took over England like a couple dozen times. So they should get some credit.

  11. when germans invaded britain it was dozens of small monarchies.

  12. France- Norman invasion of England put William on the throne

    Netherlands- Glorious Revolution put house of Orange on the throne

    Shouldn’t Scandinavia also be green with all the Viking shenegians

  13. Wait we did? I remember we overthrown the spanish and got the provinces noord and zuid-Holland and thats were it all started for the netherlands. And thats a fact of the netherlands were we got our other name ‘holland’ from

  14. When a standard revolution isn’t enough you have to make it glorious.

  15. If anyone wants a other go you’ll get very few complaints (from anyone under 50).
