Britain did not invent the Black death (or black plague as you call it,
wrongly) it came from fleas on rats in eastern europe and affected all of
Europe. No one is to blame. Also, prisons are not a bad invention - in what
way are they possibly a bad invention? You only go there if you deserve it
so it's a good thing. At least we no longer have the death penalty. Finally,
America is equally if not more responsible for the Iraq war and blaming
Britain is ridiculous to say the least. The treaty of Versailles meant
Germany had to pay money to America, France and Russia as well as Britain so
if there is any blame (although I don't know what for) then all these are
equally guilty.
You want to sell British art and architecture to make the money, which gives
me the impression that you are a jealous American trying to make up for the
fact that you have no precious art to your names as a nation.
Grow up.
