THE SPANISH EMPIRE: The Gold That Built and Then Destroyed a Superpower. 🇪🇸 This is the story of how unlimited wealth quietly destroyed a superpower. 😯 In 1545, Spain discovered an entire mountain of silver in modern-day Bolivia, called Potosí. Global silver production nearly quintupled within decades. Spain's empire grew so vast that people started saying the sun never set on it, decades before anyone used that phrase for the British. Spain conquered two entire empires and found more gold and silver than anyone in history had ever seen. And it still somehow went bankrupt, again and again.😳 And instead of building its own factories, Spain just used the silver to buy finished goods from other countries, quietly wiping out its own industry. What do you think was the real killer here: the debt, the inflation, or simply never building anything that would outlast the silver? 🤔 Subscribe to @TruthTrumpPost for more.(Donald J Trump Posts TruthSocial)
