British superiority confirmed

Where did it all go right for Sweden and Norway since 1890?
John Lopez
germoids might have been cruel and opressive but at least they governed our land in such a way, that i didnt immediately turn into a shithole (and was actually quite prosperous). On the other hand, austrians were terrible administrators, but at least they gave us many liberties and freedom. And then we have russian mongoloids who did neither for us, so the former russian lands were the shittiest of all
Jace James
Oil
Justin Carter
Staying out of world wars
Dylan Thomas
why is germany divided in two?
Hunter Ross
didnt (actively) participate in neither of world wars and the damage they sustained during WW2 was very minor. Having small, homogenous populations also helped. And in case of norway, oil of course
Jack Smith
lands of the prussian polish partition
Joshua Smith
Majority polish regions were poorer
Colton Phillips
All of that money is in the hands of a few in London. The UK is on the level of Poland in real terms.
Jeremiah Thompson
Most of that is down to dodgy wealth stashed in London and the SE, it means little to the average Brit, who often lives in Eastern European style grimness. 9 out of 10 of the poorest areas in northern Europe are in the UK.

Can you read?
Henry Jackson
True! Belgium was actually number 1 in 1890
Lucas Cook
Argentina was richer
Xavier Richardson
To be fair that's how it was all over Europe in 1890. Wealth concentrated among the wealthy elites in the capital while the peasants around live in abject poverty.
Dylan Campbell
Same argument applies then and now. Back then it was largely down to exploiting India and Britain had the worst slums in the western world.
Aiden Brooks
vgh... the riches of 1890 ireland...
Brayden Gomez
not sure about that, if you look at height records during the 19th century its not all the same
Jason Collins
>so the former russian lands were the shittiest of all
no, the austrian lands were the shittiest, russian were in the middle, plus russian partition had most industry
Landon Martin
The United Kingdom was probably the least economically centralised state in Europe circa late 19th century
Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow and half a dozen other places were all centres of industry
>le slums
Slums are/were present in every emerging industrial society, it's an inevitable consequence of rapid industrialisation
Jackson Walker
Only Norway has oil.
