Това е малко известна и никога обсъждана част от историята на САЩ, но все пак един от основните фактори, които подтикнаха САЩ към нейното огромно производство и икономическо превъзходство след Втората световна война. Тя включва окончателното унищожаване на Британската империя, за което никой мислещ човек не би съжалявал, както и условията, получени след края на Втората световна война. Първата световна война накара Великобритания да загуби около 40% от бившата си империя и богатство, а Втората световна война изпълни тази задача, но не без малко известната хищническа помощ на Америка.

This is a little-known and never-discussed part of US history, but yet one of the major factors that propelled the US to its overwhelming manufacturing and economic supremacy after the Second World War. It involves the final destruction of the British Empire, for which no thinking person would have regrets, and also the conditions obtaining after the end of World War II. The First World War caused Britain to lose about 40% of its former Empire and wealth, and the Second World War completed this task, but not without the little-known predatory intercession of America.

During the Second War, Britain needed huge volumes of supplies of food, raw materials, manufactured goods, armaments and military hardware. But Britain’s factories were being destroyed by the war, and in any case lacked sufficient productive capacity. Britain also increasingly lacked money to pay for those goods, its solution being to purchase on credit from its colonies. Canada, India, Australia, South Africa, and many other nations supplied England with necessary goods and war materials, on promise of future payment. The plan was that after the War ended, Britain would repay these debts with manufactured goods which a rebuilt Britain would be able to supply. These debts were recorded in the then British currency of Pounds Sterling, and maintained on ledgers in the Bank of England, commonly referred to as “The Sterling Balances”.
