It's just my conclusion after a few years of research on the subject. I'm just reading a book at the moment on the British Empire, published in 1890, which pretty much confirms what actually took place in our history and backs up the above. It's simply inconceivable that the huge wealth generated up to this time in history, estimated at £200 billion suddenly failed to have any further influence. Sure it got reinvested and the East India Company had served its purpose but it never declined, it just grew and grew. From import/export it was then channelled into industry and railroads and many other things all round the world. These new businesses made so much more money that the company that financed them fell into insignificance and was closed down as a liability. Loaning money to governments was a far safer business to be in.
