England turned 250 in the second half of the 12th century (depending on how you define "England" as a country), when kings and barons were romping around slaughtering each other and the population with gay abandon.
Great Britain turned 250 in 1957, at which point we'd only just finally got past post-WW2 rationing and still possibly clung on to some delusions of being an Empire.

His website provides insight in cyber security and includes articles, a newsletter and also workshops for those who are interested in a career in cyber.
Here's one of his videos.

Signals Intelligence, intelligence services, espionage, cryptology, cipher machines and its history from WW2, over the Cold World era, to date.

OK.. now this episode of "Tasting History" got me.
I've always been very interested in most historical periods. Ranging from the first organisms to 20th century.
One particular detail in history I always found fascinating was submarine warfare in WW1/WW2... including computer games.
In the early 2000s I was part of the "Pacific Thunder Campaigns" .. which was basically a bunch of "Silent Hunter I" gamers introducing multiplayer experience …
