Reply to comment by Aq8knyus in TIL Winston Churchill opposed the American use of napalm during the Korean war but still allowed Americans to publish claims of British support for American napalm attacks. by jamescookenotthatone
But your saying “it was always going to decline” and it has done the opposite
Im also glad your good at turning percentages into fractions but relative to land mass size its little difference

The point is Britain is a tiny country, unremarkable even by European standards. Its rise to global prominence was never sustainable long term. It had already lost its economic dominance before WWI.
The current global hegemon is the US, it is a continent sized country with vast resources and a population of 300 million+. Its dominance makes sense.
