England WAS rich a LONG time ago because they took over and exploited poor & helpless countries(like half of Africa) for their Natural Resources.

The USA is right now about 3x richer than the 2nd richest country(China). England's time has come and gone. They are non-important. The USA rules the world right now. Over 60% of the foreign currency reserve market is counted in U.S. dollars, which makes the USA not only the richest country in the world by far, but means the USA also controls over 60% of the world's banks(outside of the USA)
