Uh, how is the House of Windsor 1200 years old?  In 1066 William (the
Conqueror) came over from Normandy to take over the country, and wasn't
there some discontinuity along about the time Cromwell expressed his
displeasure with Charles I?

While I'm certainly no Anglophile, I think it is important to note that
the British WON the War of 1812, and the only reason they did not
reinstate colonial control over their American colonies was a little
fellow from Corsica who was causing a spot of trouble back home in
Europe.

(BTW - contrary to what you were probably told in school, the British
didn't start the War of 1812; it was started by a bunch of hotheads
mostly in New York and Pennsylvania who invaded Canada, which was a
British colony at the time.
