Fall Asleep to the ENTIRE History of The Bank of England

#historyforsleep #historydocumentary #financialhistory The Bank of England stands as one of the most powerful financial institutions ever created, yet its origins lie in a desperate scheme to fund a war against France in 1694. From its founding by Scottish merchant William Paterson to its role in financing the British Empire, from surviving the South Sea Bubble to weathering the chaos of two World Wars, this ancient institution has shaped the modern world in ways few understand. Behind the neoclassical facade on Threadneedle Street lie vaults of gold, centuries of secret dealings, and the machinery that controls the value of money itself. In this episode, we explore the hidden history of the Bank of England—how it created modern central banking, survived financial catastrophes, printed money from nothing, and continues to wield extraordinary power over the lives of millions who will never know its inner workings. #history #ancienthistory #bankofengland #centralbank #britishhistory #financialhistory #moneyhistory #goldstandard #britishempire #economichistory #historydocumentary #sleephistory #bankinghistory #londonhistory #worldhistory #monetarypolicy #historychannel #documentaryhistory
