I'll actually contribute something now instead of correcting mistakes:
The Magna Carta
The Empire / East India Company(It may not have been exactly nice to people, but it was one hell of an accomplishment)
The Commonwealth
The Battle of Waterloo (Shout out to the Dutch and Prussians for that, too)
The Battle of Trafalgar
The Industrial Revolution
Frank Whittle
Common Law
The Battle of Britain
The NHS, (It may not be perfect, but at least a serious injury won't lead to bankruptcy from medical bills!)
Doctor Who
Stonehenge
Rugby
Rowan Atkinson
The Tank
Habeus Corpus
Concorde (Shout out to the French for their help with that)
etc, etc
