※ This video is part of the <World Theme Travel - British-French Civilization Travel 1-2> broadcast on April 13-14, 2015. The foundation of the British constitutional monarchy was laid in 1215, with the approval of the 'Great Charter' Magna Carta, and Elizabeth I, the daughter of Henry VIII who opened the golden age of Britain! And even Admiral Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar and the Duke of Wellington at the Battle of Waterloo who protected the British Empire! The land where the glory of the empire that ruled the world remains, Britain. In the 19th century, a country that ruled a quarter of the world's population, the brilliantly shining British Empire! That light was brought to life not only by great monarchs, but also by the parliament established in Britain. In particular, the 'Magna Carta', famous as the Great Charter, was a groundbreaking event that limited the monarch's rule to the rule of law in 1215, 800 years ago. The place where King John, the king of that time, approved the Magna Carta was Runnymede Plain near London. Based on this, the Houses of Parliament, where British parliamentary democracy was born and raised, have now become a symbol of Britain. If the Houses of Parliament are a building representing the history of London, the London Eye is a building representing modern London. Built in 1999 and also known as the 'Millennium Wheel', the London Eye is a 135m high Ferris wheel that allows you to see the entire view of London at a glance. The person who opened this golden age of Britain was Elizabeth I. What do the Tower of London, where the story of Henry VIII, the father of Elizabeth I, the last monarch of the Tudor dynasty, and Anne Boleyn, her mother who changed the religion of England, and Greenwich, the birthplace of Elizabeth I and the Tudor palace, look like now? As Elizabeth I laid the foundation for the British Empire, Britain changed the course of world history once again. That was the Industrial Revolution. In the early 18th century, the first water-powered spinning machine was produced, and spinning mills were established in the Derwent Valley, where the textile industry developed due to the increasing spinning volume. This place is the birthplace of modern factories and the cradle of the Industrial Revolution, and was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001. Not far from here is the Ironbridge Valley, the world's first iron bridge and the starting point of the Industrial Revolution. The British Empire, which prospered with parliamentary democracy and the Industrial Revolution! Let's visit the place where its glory remains! Behind the British Empire, which once ruled the seas of the world, there was a great hero who protected Britain. Admiral Nelson and the Duke of Wellington, beloved heroes of the British, are buried together in St. Paul's Cathedral in London. After ascending to the throne, Napoleon waged a war of conquest across Europe, but while he was invincible on land, he met a real enemy at sea. It was General Nelson of England. Nelson, who had been a great commander, had already lost his right eye and arm in another war, but he boarded the warship HMS Victory and headed to Trafalgar in Spain. There, he fought a fateful battle with Napoleon. In the end, Britain won the war, but Nelson lost his life. To commemorate this, Britain created Trafalgar Square in central London and erected a 50m tall Nelson Monument there. Ten years later, Britain achieved another dramatic victory in Napoleon's last battle. This battle, which took place in Waterloo in Belgium, was a battle between the British and European allied forces. Initially defeated by the French, the British and allied forces joined forces under the command of Arthur Wellesley, nicknamed the 'Duke of Wellington', and defeated Napoleon's French forces. Arthur Wellesley became the 1st Duke of Wellington through this battle, and to commemorate this victory, the 'Waterloo Chamber' was built at Windsor Palace, the royal family's villa. We take a look at the lives of two heroes who laid the foundation for the British Empire, Admiral Nelson and the Duke of Wellington. ✔ Program name: World Theme Travel - British and French Civilization Travel Part 1-2 ✔ Broadcast date: 2015.04.13~14 #TVGoLaDuneDocumentary #GoLaDuneDocumentary #WorldThemeTravel #Europe #Britain #WorldHistory #History #Civilization #Education #Politics #War #Travel #BritishTravel #IndustrialRevolution
