		Great Britain, through the wealth generated by its extensive slave (and slave-related) trading, its cut-throat competition with the Dutch (which lead to a series of Anglo-Dutch Wars).
		Britain ranked as the world's largest trading nation in 1860, but by 1913 it had lost ground to both the United States and Germany: British and German exports in that year each totalled $2.3 billion, and those of the United States exceeded $2.4 billion.
		Britain, in as sense, continued to adhere to the Cobdenite notion that informal colonialism was preferable — the established consensus among industrial capitalists during the age of Pax Britannica between the downfall of Napoleon and the Franco-Prussian War.

		Furthermore, some of the essays are rather difficult for second year students (and might thus discourage you from studying economic history); and not all are of good quality.
