The US was a quickly growing economy ever since the 1740s and 1750s. Britain didn't regulate too much in the colonies, and real estate, farming, and a few other industries made it a very profitable area, which was part of the tension that led to the Revolution. When the US became independent, it appealed to skilled and unskilled laborers from different European countries and sects of Christianity, which gave it a constantly expanding population, alongside westward settlement and MORE real estate schemes. The explosion of the cotton industry to meet European demand also helped fuel America's own industrial revolution in the East Coast, and it's why the US was able to expand so much. While Europe has always been stratified and land has been passed down through generations, with a lower and lower population growth due to disease, famine, and a lack of migrants, the US was taking on immigration waves and had a constant surplus of labor and land for new industry and new settlement. I'm sure if you looked at a population chart you'd see the US take a similar trend as they do here. It's pretty crazy.

qing proved china was always the top economy so it going back to the top isn't out of the norm

@@NeostormXLMAX China was only a top economy because, by medieval and age of exploration standards, they had everything.

It's insane to me that India is 5th. How can the quality of life be so insanely low while the government is so wealthy. What kind of Government is that?

​@@eliasvonbrille GDP is not the government's wealth. It is the country's collective wealth (including the government). The quality of life is comparatively low because of the huge population. The per capita income is low in India.

@@yvpsghend6425 What I was suggesting is that the Government has a lot of the wealth while the people don't. Honestly it's also probably partly because of the insane gap between poor and rich. It was just shocking to me that a third world country would be basically on par with some of the most developed and most amazing to life in country's in the world. Something really went wrong there.

@eliasvonbrille.. what do you mean by the government of India having a lot of wealth? Are you talking about tax revenue collected? If that's so, then even if the tax revenue is high compared to other countries, the amount of money that gets reinvested to each person (per capita) is still very low because of the high population.

​@@eliasvonbrille GDP means per capita× Population. It does mean government has money, but it has to manage a huge Population also

​@@CountingStars333lol, lmao

Good points. I also think GDP (PPP) is useful to look at, because that reflects that in India, $10 buys more goods / services than $10 buys in the US. Hence India may have less money, but it can accomplish more with a certain amount of money than the US can, e.g. because Indian labor costs are lower. In terms of GDP (PPP), the list goes: China, then US, then India, then Japan, then Germany, then Russia.

It’s because of stealing Africas wealth.

@@notme1628 cope

@@notme1628 Thats basic imperialism. Africans were stealing each others wealth prior to and during European colonialism. Also you're wrong. The colonisation of most of Africa was costly with the exception of a few colonies. Most of the wealth of these Empires came from the Americas and Asia. Portugal relied on its Asian colonies and then heavily on Brazil, Spain on its vast American Empire, and Netherlands on Indonesia. Even the British relied mostly on their South Asian colonies. In fact, with the exception of Belgium and the late Portuguese Empire, Europeans did not rely on African wealth. One can make the argument that the most important thing to come out of Africa were the slaves, rather than its resources, since the slaves allowed Europeans to grow their economic strength in the Americas.

@@Rickybaba96 France until now is stealing from Africa go see what the Italian prime minister ( Giorgia Meloni ) said + the wealth that Europeans took from america it was for the origin people who lived there.

I don't know, the bottom of this list was like the Dutch. They were a fairly rich nation during the turn of the century. I wouldn't be surprised if they had a bigger GDP than Persia. I mean this is pre automation so the biggest indicator of wealth in a nation is the population of skilled labor/trades people. Persia had a population of 7 million to the Dutch 2 million. So considering Persia was mostly peasant farmers at the time and the Dutch had a big trade/middle class population I wouldn't be surprised if Persia had a lower GDP. (if you go back to the middle ages I'm sure the Dutch would have less money but 1700s probably not)

@@kkpenney444 By no means. The EU ist economically a true UNION. There are no trade barriers in between and mayority of EU has even one currency. The economic unification is lightyears ahead of any other kind of trade alliances in the world. You can't even make a trade treaty with one of the EU states, only with the EU as a whole. Trump wanted to make some trade deals with Germany and asked Merkel in some inteviews and she tried repeatedly to explain him that that won't work. Was very funny to see.

@@Rorimac67 it is absolutely not true, every European country can make commercial agreements independently of the union with any state it wishes without talking to the European institutions. the european union is a set of commercial and economic agreements that concern only the member states and not completely, on the contrary .. in europe each state can use these agreements to take advantage of the other and the system itself generates a movement of capital from poor countries towards the rich countries. the united states of america is a true union, europe doesn't even come close to that concept.

Well, they literally call it the lost decades and if you research the reason, it isn't because the Japanese stopped being efficient. It was the US doing the same thing to them that they're trying to do to China. Which is strangle their growth because they were a threat. They will keep repeating this eventially to India, Vietnam, and any other country that threatens American hegemony.

With inflation they can't go up

They got screwed over by America with the Plaza Accords, check it out. America is trying similar tactics on China right now

No contradiction here

The majority of that debt is internal, money that is owed to other US companies.

Every major country is in debt to each other in some way or another, it's not uncommon. Did you think this was esoteric and secret knowledge you were dropping on everyone?

Problem with that statement is that while it sounds huge for any other country that's a around 125 percent ratio. If you look at china and include their province debt than they are iver 200 percent

Every country has huge debts its economic knowledge to always keep big debts

I think that the video gets a little confused when it comes to colonial empires. In that instance it looked like they were just including the Kingdom of Spain, rather than the entire Spanish Empire.

@@gguy3600 exactly, they counted the British raj as one entity and not in the English empire. So if you combine the colonies and territories Spain, Portugal and up would have been way richer

Nah, the thing is that in the chart they separated Spain from the Holy Roman Empire and Portugal, but in those years all of them were ruled under the same Habsburg king. So actually the bar would be the third one, just above Turkey.

@@OSKY3033 I would assume then that they counted Spanish colonial possessions separately as vice-admiralties etc., instead of as "Spanish New world" or something, because in that case that nation would haven reached the charts.

It's doing them all separate. Like the British empire as a whole would have been leagues ahead of everyone for a time.

Because much of America's money stayed in America. Or do you think the viceroyal cities arose without money? And because another large part of the money was spent on maintaining simultaneous wars against half the world in pursuit of the Catholic Church

france was also getting alot of money from colonizing africa

Spain policy in the New World was very different than the one proposed by the French and the British. Unfortunately, Spain spendings were quite unefficient and they invested a lot, while harvesting not enough to compensate in return. French, and especially the British, had way more efficient taxing and investments policies

@@darius524 Ok then. Enlighten me.

It would be very bad to understand if they also told the economy of the colonies and dominated countries. It is better to show only the economy of the territories as they are today.

Lack of coinage also led to a proliferation of paper money. Each colony issued its own "promises to pay", which got trusted to varying degrees. But without money flowing in other forms than precious metals they/the US could not have developed as they/it did.
