The Sterling Crisis: How Britain Sold Its Empire to Save Its Currency

Hey guys, welcome back to Mystic Historian — where we uncover the hidden stories of money, power, and empires.

This episode dives deep into The Sterling Crisis — the shocking moment when the mighty British Empire quietly sold its colonies, its gold, and eventually its global power… just to save its currency, the Pound Sterling.

From the days when the pound ruled the world, to the moment Britain begged for IMF loans, this story reveals the brutal truth behind every empire’s fall: when money collapses, power follows.

You’ll discover how the British Empire financed its rise with gold… and its downfall with paper.
And how America, through the dollar and the petrodollar system, inherited the same illusion — one that may now be cracking again.
