I am puzzled by absence of U.K. data.
In 1829, the United Kingtom had begun to forge ahead surpassing Mexico. Portugal and the United States were still behind, while Japan, France and Africa had a larger GDP. China nd Indian accounted for more than 50% of the world GDP.
What's even more puzzling is the need to separate India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, when it would take between 125 and 150 years for the two countries to come into existence.
It does hide the benefits of ruling over an empire. |

Very interesting - but where is the UK of Great Britain and Ireland? - the 19th century was Britain's glory days, so to speak (Also would be interesting to see alongside an overall UK figure - English, Welsh, Scottish & Irish figures to see the internal disparities.) |

Dear sirs,
The figures for 1850 and 1900 are very interesting and somewhat confusing .
Some nations appear when they did d not exist and those nations who appear were not but empires.
For instance British empire can be conjured up while Ottoman Empire biggest land based Common market of the age does not .
Can you help me this issue? |
