You mean the Dutch Each India Company named the VOC? Also known for being the most valuable company that ever existed and much larger and powerfull than the little and weak British East India Company. The VOC was stronger than most other nations. It even declared several wars against India and China at its height.
@Amey S And whats the legacy????? Maybe that the VOC IMVENTED CAPITALISM!!!! First company on a stockmarket, first multinational, first prove that a monopolist company is dangerous because its too powerfull, also a prove that capitalism is a better system than any other system etc. The VOC is and will always be the greatest piece of art that history has evet made. And now back you can go back to school!
@Aarav :0 Lahore was only the capital for about 13 years. Fatehpur Sikri in India was the capital for 14 years, Agra was the capital for 80 years and Delhi (Dilapanah and Shahjahanabad) was capital for 124 years. Delhi and Uttar Pradesh was definitely the core region of their empire, just like Bihar was the core region for the Guptas and Mauryans, and Maharahstra was the core for the Marathas. Majority of their monuments were built in this region.
@Aarav :0 its interesting to know that according to British censuses, Punjab did not become Muslim majority until between the 1800 and 1900s. Before Sikhs and Hindus combined were a larger group than Muslims in Punjab. The only regions of India that were Muslim majority during Mughal times were Sindh, Kashmir and East Bengal (Bangladesh), none of which were core territories of the Empire. Kashmir became Muslim majority during the Kahsmir Sultanate, East Bengal under Bengal Sultanate and Sindh during the Arab caliphate. Punjab was not Muslim majority.
@Pan Prezes if you take in consideration all the previous history we reach well beyond the thousand years of international presence. I'd say starting from Venice in the 9th century and through Renaissance. So probably at least 500, a thousand more likely

@RhodesianSAS1994 not really tbh, the fact that the UK was able to industrialize quickly and raise their GDP per capita was by dismantling the handmade cloth production industry of India and forcing indians to buy their British manufactured goods, made from Indian raw product. Of course there are multiple reasons for this, but what I stated was I'd say one of the primary ones. And with the arrival of the British came the downfall of the Mughal empire, which had historically always had contributed a huge chunk to the global GDP.

@@LinLin-vg5ge I think you mean American propaganda. In Europe most of us value China above the USA. Mainly because they try to be better at everything
Things I'd like to share ->Germany managed to outperform it's Euro neighbors and even went toe-toe with US economy ->Jp barely the size of california managed to reach 78% of US economy (although it's a big bubble) ->RoChina despite being war-torn did it's best in competing with major powers until 1935 ->Impact of Mughal rule on India's economy and how British sucked wealth out of India ->The US being the world's largest economy ever since 1890 and still pushing it's limits till this day
"Jp barely the size of california managed to reach 78% of US economy (although it's a big bubble)" This is barely an achievement, this just shows how economic measurements were highly flawed, like they are still today.
It's a bit of a misconception to say that Britain 'destroyed' India's wealth. In reality it's just that the UK economy (and the economy of Europe in general) grew much faster than the Indian one so, by the time of Indian independence, Indian GDP made up a much smaller percentage of the global total. As seen in these graphs, Indian GDP never actually fell during British rule. Also worth noting that while the Mughal economy was much larger than the British one in the 18th century, it was only because it had an absolutely massive population. On a per capita basis, the British economy was much richer from the outset.
GDP is a tricky number. It's like in the US a cup of coffee is 4$ and the country has the capacity to produce 6trillion cups. In china it's 2$ and they can make 10 trillion cups. If you just look at gdp it looks like 24 vs 20 trillion USD and the US is ahead of 4 trillion worth of coffee, but they are actually behind 4 trillion cups. In purchasing power China overtook the US in 2014. It isn't just about coffee, but it means China can build more roads, more schools, more hospitals, more railways more weapons more everything.
@@XDarkPrinceX123 US only had slavery for 89 years. Also notice how the GDP skyrocketed after the end of slavery? If anything it was holding the US back propping up an agrarian economy that was inefficient and not innovative.

I didn't realize the US has been so far ahead for 100 years straight. They were even in the top 10 almost immediately after they became a country in 1776. And the boost from the 1849 'gold rush' is very visible.
The data is not 100% correct, the numbers seem very off. There's a 0% chance that tiny east coast america with 2.7 million people had the GDP of 27 million population Tokugawa Japan before the industrial revolution even kicked in to make such differences even possible. I'd rather not trust it, 20x the amount of GDP per capita of another country before the industrial revolution...
their GDP came from taking land and natural resources from indigineous americans, when GDP came from robbery, not from earning it, it's not hard to have it go up fast
The U.K. was powerful because it controlled trade and also because it was the first industrialised nation. Remember pre-1820 the world economy was based in agriculture. Hence why India and china’s was so high.
@@Luca-nu2zg he’s still correct. Measuring gdp of older countries is tricky, but before the age of industrialization, the population is of course a large factor. But it’s also note that, China and India was still the holder of most of the worlds health, rich with spices, silk and much more products the world wanted. That’s why they only accepted payment in silver.

You're referring to the two world wars, not "every war". The other wealthy nations were destroying each other, the US is far away and gets in at the end, not losing out too much. They just keep growing normally while the other competitors decline. They're not profiting from war, they just stayed out for the most of it.

@@spaceexplorer5481 Nothing was looted. Mechanization meant that a fraction of the population in the UK could make more textiles, and cheaper, than all the labor in India could cobble together.
This seems to only account for domestic GDP. If it included a country's colonial/territorial holdings, the UK would probably be #1 for most of the 1700s and 1800s
I think the Dutch would have benefitted more from this than the British. From 1870 to 1919 Indonesia is having a whale of a time while the Netherlands isn't even on the list!

@@pletskoo514 population is important but efficiency matters the most, the US economy is the most efficient in the world. The average US worker produces 6 times more wealth than the average worker from China. And China’s population will decline to 800 million by the year 2100 whereas the US population will increase to 550 million by 2021. And China will still be less efficient than the US, with much more of their population being older and a burden on China’s economy. They are having a demographic crisis. India on the other hand has way too much corruption. It’s systemic from the very bottom to the very top. They’re economy grows because they have a huge consumer base and import a lot of stuff. But their exports are even lower than Canada’s by a pretty big margin. So Eventually India’s growth will stagnate. Probably will start stagnating in another 10 years

What genuinely shocks me is that in the 90s Germany and Japan were literally still the leading economies along with America. After all that destruction they managed to turn their country around in such a quick time. The truth is that Germans and Japanese people are so hardworking. Capitalism or not, they turned their country around for the better and I think that should forever be acknowledged and respected.
Well of course they were going to lead in WW2 recovery. Western German reconstruction was largely an American response to the growing Soviet threat behind the wall. Japanese recovery was also due to American lead economic reforms (to prevent potential communist uprising in Japan) that allowed them to explode later on with electronics manufacturing.
The Dutch economy is the exact reason I have serious doubts about the validity of this video, the 17th century was called the Dutch golden age for a reason, the Netherlands utterly dominated the world's spice trade and could buy its way into winning wars against France which apparently has a bigger economy. But yeah, colonialism I guess, and the Dutch committed actual genocide to achieve this economy...
@@TomSistermans who was actually genocided by the Dutch? On top of that, the bulk trade in the Hanseatic trade league was WAY more profitable than the spice trade... It's exactly the same thing that floats our economy to this day, being able to bulk trade with the high tech harbor of Rotterdam. Huge container ships not being docked long is quite profitable, as is the transport across a sublime road network to the biggest industrial area on this planet, the Ruhr area.
@@TomSistermans This video does not count in the overseas parts of empires. Clearly wrong tho is that they used the name "Indonesia" in the 1800s. It was mostly Dutch and French Indochina and British Burma. Also Germans took Dutch parts for some years I think. But in principle you are right ofc. The Netherlands were called The United Provinces at least in the 1700s and they had provinces Caribbean, India, Africa, South America and Indochina after they managed to beat the Spanish out of their homeland and many colonies.

@@sandal_thong8631 Russian revolution doesn't make sense, but GDP going up during wars is pretty common. The government allocates more resources into industry, construction, and other economic boosters. Also, people are made to work longer and harder.
@@sandal_thong8631 GDP going up during wars is common. The government rapidly increases military spending and logistics. Think US in WWII or Germany in the 1930s. Both countries invested a lot in weapons build-up. The US went from having a smaller navy than France to almost 20+ carriers, 300+ destroyers, 70+ escort carriers, 300+ subs, 100000+ aircraft by 1943, millions of tonnes of merchant vessels to supply allies. Germany did the same in the early 1930s, rapidly building up the Luftwaffe and reich army despite the ongoing effects of the great recession and massive inflation. All that production adds to GDP, thus increasing the number. GDP is just a number.

Also known for being the most valuable company that ever existed and much larger and powerfull than the little and weak British East India Company. The VOC was stronger than most other nations. It even declared several wars against India and China at its height.
@Amey S And whats the legacy????? Maybe that the VOC IMVENTED CAPITALISM!!!! First company on a stockmarket, first multinational, first prove that a monopolist company is dangerous because its too powerfull, also a prove that capitalism is a better system than any other system etc. The VOC is and will always be the greatest piece of art that history has evet made. And now back you can go back to school!

@Aarav :0 Lahore was only the capital for about 13 years. Fatehpur Sikri in India was the capital for 14 years, Agra was the capital for 80 years and Delhi (Dilapanah and Shahjahanabad) was capital for 124 years. Delhi and Uttar Pradesh was definitely the core region of their empire, just like Bihar was the core region for the Guptas and Mauryans, and Maharahstra was the core for the Marathas. Majority of their monuments were built in this region.
@Aarav :0 its interesting to know that according to British censuses, Punjab did not become Muslim majority until between the 1800 and 1900s. Before Sikhs and Hindus combined were a larger group than Muslims in Punjab. The only regions of India that were Muslim majority during Mughal times were Sindh, Kashmir and East Bengal (Bangladesh), none of which were core territories of the Empire. Kashmir became Muslim majority during the Kahsmir Sultanate, East Bengal under Bengal Sultanate and Sindh during the Arab caliphate. Punjab was not Muslim majority.

@RhodesianSAS1994 did you know British were not the first to start industrialization in india🧐
@RhodesianSAS1994 not really tbh, the fact that the UK was able to industrialize quickly and raise their GDP per capita was by dismantling the handmade cloth production industry of India and forcing indians to buy their British manufactured goods, made from Indian raw product. Of course there are multiple reasons for this, but what I stated was I'd say one of the primary ones.
And with the arrival of the British came the downfall of the Mughal empire, which had historically always had contributed a huge chunk to the global GDP.

->RoChina despite being war-torn did it's best in competing with major powers until 1935

"Jp barely the size of california managed to reach 78% of US economy (although it's a big bubble)"
This is barely an achievement, this just shows how economic measurements were highly flawed, like they are still today.
Ok american lol 😂
@@Gary_The_Man76 What did she say that was funny?
It's a bit of a misconception to say that Britain 'destroyed' India's wealth. In reality it's just that the UK economy (and the economy of Europe in general) grew much faster than the Indian one so, by the time of Indian independence, Indian GDP made up a much smaller percentage of the global total. As seen in these graphs, Indian GDP never actually fell during British rule.
Also worth noting that while the Mughal economy was much larger than the British one in the 18th century, it was only because it had an absolutely massive population. On a per capita basis, the British economy was much richer from the outset.
GDP is a tricky number. It's like in the US a cup of coffee is 4$ and the country has the capacity to produce 6trillion cups. In china it's 2$ and they can make 10 trillion cups. If you just look at gdp it looks like 24 vs 20 trillion USD and the US is ahead of 4 trillion worth of coffee, but they are actually behind 4 trillion cups. In purchasing power China overtook the US in 2014. It isn't just about coffee, but it means China can build more roads, more schools, more hospitals, more railways more weapons more everything.

I didn't realize the US has been so far ahead for 100 years straight. They were even in the top 10 almost immediately after they became a country in 1776. And the boost from the 1849 'gold rush' is very visible.
The data is not 100% correct, the numbers seem very off. There's a 0% chance that tiny east coast america with 2.7 million people had the GDP of 27 million population Tokugawa Japan before the industrial revolution even kicked in to make such differences even possible. I'd rather not trust it, 20x the amount of GDP per capita of another country before the industrial revolution...

The U.K. was powerful because it controlled trade and also because it was the first industrialised nation. Remember pre-1820 the world economy was based in agriculture. Hence why India and china’s was so high.

@@slaveNo-4028 population plays a huge role in a strong economy. add 1b people to the USA and it's still the third most populous country in the world, India and China will have the top economies in a few decades because of their population
@@pletskoo514 population is important but efficiency matters the most, the US economy is the most efficient in the world. The average US worker produces 6 times more wealth than the average worker from China.
And China’s population will decline to 800 million by the year 2100 whereas the US population will increase to 550 million by 2021. And China will still be less efficient than the US, with much more of their population being older and a burden on China’s economy. They are having a demographic crisis.
India on the other hand has way too much corruption. It’s systemic from the very bottom to the very top. They’re economy grows because they have a huge consumer base and import a lot of stuff. But their exports are even lower than Canada’s by a pretty big margin. So Eventually India’s growth will stagnate. Probably will start stagnating in another 10 years

What genuinely shocks me is that in the 90s Germany and Japan were literally still the leading economies along with America. After all that destruction they managed to turn their country around in such a quick time. The truth is that Germans and Japanese people are so hardworking. Capitalism or not, they turned their country around for the better and I think that should forever be acknowledged and respected.
They did, and they are. But, they also had the mandatory advantage of not being able to devote money to building and maintaining militaries.
ellos no tienen peronismo no se vale
Well of course they were going to lead in WW2 recovery. Western German reconstruction was largely an American response to the growing Soviet threat behind the wall. Japanese recovery was also due to American lead economic reforms (to prevent potential communist uprising in Japan) that allowed them to explode later on with electronics manufacturing.

The Dutch economy is the exact reason I have serious doubts about the validity of this video, the 17th century was called the Dutch golden age for a reason, the Netherlands utterly dominated the world's spice trade and could buy its way into winning wars against France which apparently has a bigger economy.
But yeah, colonialism I guess, and the Dutch committed actual genocide to achieve this economy...
@@TomSistermans who was actually genocided by the Dutch?
On top of that, the bulk trade in the Hanseatic trade league was WAY more profitable than the spice trade... It's exactly the same thing that floats our economy to this day, being able to bulk trade with the high tech harbor of Rotterdam. Huge container ships not being docked long is quite profitable, as is the transport across a sublime road network to the biggest industrial area on this planet, the Ruhr area.
@@TomSistermans This video does not count in the overseas parts of empires.
Clearly wrong tho is that they used the name "Indonesia" in the 1800s. It was mostly Dutch and French Indochina and British Burma. Also Germans took Dutch parts for some years I think.
But in principle you are right ofc. The Netherlands were called The United Provinces at least in the 1700s and they had provinces Caribbean, India, Africa, South America and Indochina after they managed to beat the Spanish out of their homeland and many colonies. Some Habsburg money, great limited liability companies (LLC) and banking industry along with trade! Very interesting stuff.

@@sandal_thong8631 GDP going up during wars is common. The government rapidly increases military spending and logistics. Think US in WWII or Germany in the 1930s. Both countries invested a lot in weapons build-up. The US went from having a smaller navy than France to almost 20+ carriers, 300+ destroyers, 70+ escort carriers, 300+ subs, 100000+ aircraft by 1943, millions of tonnes of merchant vessels to supply allies. Germany did the same in the early 1930s, rapidly building up the Luftwaffe and reich army despite the ongoing effects of the great recession and massive inflation. All that production adds to GDP, thus increasing the number. GDP is just a number.
