Britishisation
British influences on the world are manifold due in large part to the legacy of the British Empire.
History
A prominent predecessor of British influences spreading through the world was the anglicisation (English influence) of the British Isles.[1]
Culture
Language
Britishisms (terms unique to British English) have entered American English over the centuries and continue to do so to this day, despite the modern global predominance of American English.[2] Globalisation and the increasing role of British journalists are cited as factors for this in the present day.[3]
Music
In the mid-to-late 20th century, British artists such as the Beatles became highly influential, impacting the American music scene.[4]
Sports
Indirect influence
British sporting models also influenced American practices significantly, which shaped the future sporting juggernaut and its global impact substantially.[5] For example, Mark Dyreson has argued that American attempts to improve the world through sport took inspiration from British imperial models.[6] The England-originated philosophy of Muscular Christianity also played a role in shaping American attitudes towards sport and its global role by the turn of the 20th century.[7]
