Yeah for the rest of us, WW 1/2 was absolutely the best thing that happened in history. Europe burning the wealth and power of ages in a short orgy of mutual destruction brought the rest of us out of their yoke and develop our own destinies. Some would argue the US replaced Europe as the hegemonic power but until they got muddled in the middle East, it was mostly light touch except for Vietnam. The challenge for China now is to avoid a shooting war that will burn the wealth of two-three generations of development at all cost.
1. One friend said the rest of Britain historically exploits Scotland. People are poor because their taxes and profits they generate are sent south. AKA Thacher/Majors 's government was pulling £1000 per capita a year out of Scotland.
2. Another man said that heavy industry in Britain was in decline in the 1960's 1970's.
3. And a guy I worked with said Britain after WWII was in economic ruin because of the WWI and WWII. Rationing continued into the mid 1950's.
