"England was the banker for the world in the 19th century and from 1815 to 1914 was a period of huge worldwide economic expansion AND was a period of unprecedented PEACE??????"

Well, why wouldn't England be the Banker for the world when huge wealth was flowing to Britian and America (in the form of heavy tariffs on British goods imported to America) from mighty Indian civilization which was colonized, looted, de-industrialized and Indian farm lands were used for growing opium by East India company (Rothchild family) that caused man made famines and forced starvation which led to the deaths of 85 million Indians for 200 yrs between (1747 to 1947) - The period of colonization of mighty Indian civilization by the British looters.

India was the largest economy and richest civilization in the world between 1 AD to 1700 AD with a GDP average of 25 to 30% until the time of British invasion in 18th century according to OECD economist Angus Maddison who did a 20 yrs research on world economy for 2000 yrs. Angus Maddison's book "World economy, a millennial perspective and historical statistics" says it all.

Recently a sunken colonial British/Indian ship called SS Gairsoppa (named after a stunning waterfall in India, Bangalore) off the coast of Ireland by German U boat in 1942 was discovered. It was filled with 200 million dollars worth of silver bars looted from colonial India. It happened during the fag end of colonialism in 1942. Imagine how much wealth would have been looted by the British from India for 200 yrs before 1942 during peak colonialism.

History cannot be built on lies and the truth would eventually come out in this period of Internet revolution. Thanks to internet.
