Re: Robert Peel
Sorry to go so far off thread!
19th century Great Britain become the first global economic superpower, because of superior manufacturing technology and improved global communications.
Globalisation is probably at the root of any loss in nationalistic and human values, there are some who believe that the current recession which is hitting the industrialised world will eventually lead to a de-globalisation e.g. the possible break-down of the Eurozone, and a return to Nationalistic principles.
The past has always shown that any Empire which over-stretches itself eventually implodes.
