Your map is from the late 1700sStop talking nonsense, Britain only officially owned a third of the world.
The pound was the world's reserve currency, and the US itself was in a semi-colonial position

This is not an American invention, Britain did the same. This is exactly a British invention: the currency board.Empires are expensive to run and eventually collapse because people do not want to live in a colony. America invented colonizing the economy of another nation rather than trying to rule the people.
Britain at the time of ww2 was the largest and most powerful empire. Immediately after the war, the United States began to dominate, and Britain soon collapsed altogether. How did US manage to do this? Why has the world power changed?
I used to think so too. But post-war politics contradicts this. Britain began to gain the upper hand in the United States again only after the Caribbean crisis. This can be seen both in culture and in world events, including a series of revolutions in the socialist camp, and in the collapse of the Brettonwood system. The European Union meant the withdrawal of Europe from the influence of the United States under the wing of Britain.
The US is still a puppet of the monied interests that have always run Britain, far back into the distant past. We were, have been, and always will be a pawn of the one ring.
. . . and, when the day comes when they decide to place the ostensible center of power somewhere else, we will still be a pawn of the one ring.
In any case, Britain would not voluntarily give up the world printing press, even if it wanted to give up the direct political control of the colonial administrations.

For the folks that control the destinies of nation states? They don't care.In any case, Britain would not voluntarily give up the world printing press, even if it wanted to give up the direct political control of the colonial administrations.
Why are you sure that this force is only one, and all world power is reduced to it?For the folks that control the destinies of nation states? They don't care.
They never have, nor will they going into the future. It never was about the Westphalian system for these folks. That? Is just a tool.
So, I guess this thread is not for me, because your question is, IMO, in the final analysis, really irrelevant. It always has been an illusion from the start.
If you want to live in that illusion? Continue to watch your tele.
They should have read Sun Tzu. Perhaps some of our leaders should, also.stop babbling crap.....you must be BLIND not to see the difference
and they are overextended--wars/occupation cost mucho $$$$$$
jesus christ----plain and simple -the UK did not have the resources/manpower/etc to perform anywhere NEAR what the US did
....sure, they conquered/etc all those places---but it takes MORE resources EXPONENTIALLY to occupy/police/use/etc those places
DUH
This is an interesting remark, but more interesting is who it was and how it relates to China in its modern sense. He lived in eastern Zhou, about a thousand years after the Aryan chariots arrived there. Namely, the Aryans was unsurpassed in the art of war.They should have read Sun Tzu. Perhaps some of our leaders should, also.
Slavery is a woefully under-productive economic model when new models become available.Why are you sure that this force is only one, and all world power is reduced to it?
There were internal party wars behind the scenes and regime changes.
In fact, there are 2 forces everywhere, not just one. Even in the one-party system of the USSR, there was a split and a 180-degree turn.
And if it were as you say, everything would have long ago turned into slavery, for them there is no point in providing people with a decent standard of living and freedoms.

Always, because additional money is spent on the freedom to choose a place of work to attract labor. Slavery is not introduced just because society is not ready for it, and this is fraught with riots. If there was such an opportunity, the left would introduce it right now.Slavery is a woefully under-productive economic model when new models become available.
