How Britain Controlled the World through Finance
Britain built global dominance less through military force than through finance, using institutions like the Bank of England, the gold standard, and international debt markets to make other countries dependent on London for credit, currency stability, and trade.
These financial arrangements created self reinforcing systems that locked colonies and trading partners into British controlled networks, and even after Britain’s military power declined, the financial architecture it built shaped modern global finance, influencing later systems centered on the dollar and institutions like the IMF.
