Скачать или смотреть Why Britain Was Still Paying America in 2006 – The Secret 61-Year WWII Bill

Everyone knows Britain won World War II.
Almost no one knows the price.

Behind the victory parades and the speeches of 1945 was a bankrupt empire—stripped of gold, drowning in debt, and forced into a financial dependency that would last more than six decades.

On December 29, 2006, the British government quietly sent one final payment to Washington.
$83 million.
The last installment of a bill that began in the darkest days of World War II.

This video uncovers the story most history books leave out:

The 1940 Collapse: How Britain went from the richest nation on Earth to total insolvency in under a year.

Operation Fish: The secret transfer of nearly all British gold reserves across U-boat-infested waters to pay American bills.

Lend-Lease’s Hidden Costs: Why “aid” came with conditions that dismantled the British Empire’s economic power.

The Asset Liquidations: Forced sales of British investments, companies, and global assets—often at half their value.

Article VII – The Empire’s Death Warrant: The clause that guaranteed the end of Imperial Preference and the rise of the Dollar.

The 1946 Loan Disaster: How Keynes fought for a grant, accepted a loan, and triggered a financial crisis that lasted generations.

The 61-Year Debt: Why British taxpayers—many born decades after WWII—were still paying America in the 21st century.

This is not the story of charity.
This is the story of the greatest economic extraction of the 20th century—and how it reshaped global power forever.
