I think English are the forerunners of the now civilisation of this Planet Earth...They proved to be better than Egyptians, Greeks, Babylonians,Romans and Ottomans....Most of the world owes a lot to the English for their contributions for the benefits and wellbeings of the humanity....Otherwise it would have been taken long to reach where is the humanity is now....Empires come and go but the English proved to be beneficial to all...They may fall also but with them goes whole of the humanity...English is still an Empire, with USA as a forerunner....Without their money and efforts, there may be no smoke coming out of the furnaces of the world.They are the financial hyanas of the world....
After the w/w first...they have retained this status...I dont wonder if they keep on holding this status for another 460 years...after this, the humanity will be in steep downfall alongwith the English...
They have a complete control/hold of the Stock Exchanges of the world...As and when they want their Exchanges to sneeze...the others follows down or up of the same percentage...with whopping cough...
