From Shakespeare to Chocolate Bars: Check These 45 Treasures That Britain Gifted the World

Sports And Alike

The British have given birth to another universal concept we cannot imagine living without today: sports. Sports they formulated during the 19th century include tennis, badminton, football, cricket, rugby union, rugby league, field hockey, and squash. What used to be a simple physical activity has become a living for nations today.

According to Cailian Savage, these British sports took over the world because of the Industrial Revolution. It allowed the thriving middle-class to pursue sports while they had free time, which was then transferred to colonial subjects. Britain takes pride in such, and now they take it as a compliment when they are defeated at their games during international competitions.
