Sold to the USA The WWII Debt Trap That Killed the British Empire

Описание: Discover the shocking reality of the WWII debt trap that killed the British Empire and reshaped the modern world order. While history books often celebrate the unbreakable alliance between Britain and the United States, the financial ledgers tell a darker story of bankruptcy, desperation, and calculated geopolitical maneuvering.

In this deep dive, we peel back the layers of the Lend-Lease Act and the Anglo-American Loan, revealing how Washington effectively purchased global dominance while London mortgaged its future. Did you know the UK didn't finish paying off its World War II debts to the US and Canada until December 31, 2006? We explore why Churchill felt forced to sign away imperial preference, how the pound sterling was dethroned by the dollar, and the specific terms that transferred Britain's gold reserves and military bases across the Atlantic.

This isn't just about money; it's about the moment the torch was passed—not voluntarily, but aggressively. If you want to understand why the British Empire collapsed so rapidly after 1945, you have to follow the money.
