Anti-British sentiment is a prejudice against the British people, or of the United Kingdom, or both. It has diverse causes and forms.

Canada and the Province of Québec

The Canadian Province of Québec and its majority-Francophone population has had a long history of Anti-British sentiment since the conquest of New France by the United Kingdom in 1760.

Australia and New Zealand

'Pom' is a common Australasian slang word for British people, often combined with 'whing[e]ing' (complaining) to make the expression 'whingeing Pom' - a British immigrant who stereotypically complains about everything in Australia. In 2007 a complaint to Australia's Advertising Standards Bureau about a television commercial using the term 'Pom' was upheld and the commercial was withdrawn.

Ireland

In August 2008 an English pipefitter based in Dublin was awarded €20,000 for receiving abuse and discrimination because he was English.

United States

President Thomas Jefferson complained of an unreasonable hostility towards the British state by the people in the United States during the Napoleonic Wars, brought about by the American Revolutionary War.

The 1856 novel Tit for Tat, which had been composed anonymously by "A Lady of New Orleans", encouraged anti-British sentiment in the United States in reaction to positive British reception of Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe.

During the period of alliance between Britain and the United States, anti-British sentiment took another form. Fleet Admiral Ernest King had been noted for his Anglophobic views which affected his decision making during the "Second happy time" (in the Battle of the Atlantic ).

In the 21st century, the Special Relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom has come under attack by some people. For instance, advertising executive Steven A. Grasse published The Evil Empire: 101 Ways That England Ruined the World - in response to anti-American sentiment in Europe.
