What sort of precious stone is the Koh-i-Noor, one of the British Crown Jewels?
Correct answer: Diamond
Helloween
almost everything that britain have in their posession was taken from other countries.
Dreams
It was 'given' to Queen Victoria. Hmmmmm
Lorraine
This jewel, like the Elgin Marbles, was stolen by the 'great british empire', and will never be returned. It took successive governments, 100 years to return the severed head of an Australian Aboriginal Chief's head. It's wrong 1 culture can control another's heritage so wrong.

Dreams, Stolen is the real word to be used. Not that many other countries haven't done the same (including mine).

Scotland has returned ancient artefacts to Native American tribes on several occasions. Everything taken or stolen by explorers should be returned

Player #20605705, you mean, the world has more wars BECAUSE of the British!

Helloween, they even gave a land they don’t own to people who don’t own a land on the expense & suffering of the indigenous people… in case it’s not clear I’m talking about Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Helloween, Britain is still giving countries aid one way or another although they have independence tell me the meaning of the latter word
Player #125843019
Lorraine , try telling that to the Muslims
Player #20605705
Helloween, Yes but what was given back and most of those Counties would still have tribal wars with each other if is wasn't for the British!
Nix
what would those countries be like without colonialism. NOTHING
Tremain White
Helloween, ahem, with respect I must correct you, to wit: not just taken from 'countries'...
Lorraine
Helloween, so true
beverley
Helloween, absolute truth!

The British soldiers looted the jewels embedded in the walls of the Taj Mahal, digging out the gems from their beautiful settings! Where ever they went, the British LOOTED!
