You have to hand it to the British: of all the different peoples and nations who tried their hand at world domination, the tiny little island of Britain won.
Well, it's because of the Americans not the British.
The internet has primarily been built out in the US.
Yeah but follow the effects back to their causes: the colonies that became America were British colonies, not French or Spanish or Portuguese or Dutch colonies.
In other words: America was founded by British people. Settlers/colonizers from Britain.

Some of them were British from the outset, but not even all of the original 13 Colonies were originally British:
- Parts of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and Connecticut were Dutch before they were British ("even old New York was once New Amsterdam / why they changed it, I can't say; people just liked it better that way")
- Parts of Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania were Swedish before they were Dutch before they were British
And that's to say nothing about the various Spanish (and later Mexican), French, and Russian colonies annexed throughout the US' post-revolutionary history. If we're gonna assign credit for the Internet to old European imperial powers, Spain in particular probably has just as much (if not more) to do with it than Britain, given that California was originally a Spanish colony (and then a Mexican colony, and then briefly its own country before the US annexed it).
To be precise the two colonies that were not always British|English from the outset had both become British|English colonies for a full century prior to the American Revolutionary War.

Not exactly - as pointed out not all the colonies were established by England (prior to the Union) and while under British authority by the time of the Revolutionary War the people within the colonies were not all from the United Kingdom as most were born in the Americas and a good number were descended from non-United Kingdom parts of Europe.
They blessed the world with the largest number of independance days
Don't hand anything to them. Analyze, Deconstruct and Sabotage the western white supremacist empire until it collapses and looses its death grip on humanity.
Britain seems to have made a Carthage.
