I took these charts from several books i posess,
GNPper capita of the European Great Powers 1830-1890
As you can see Britain's economy started strong and ended stronger, Italy started fairly strong and declined, while Germany overtook Austria Hungary
(this looks at income per person so naturally russia with it's serfs and whatnot should be low)
Also the United State's produced 23.6% of the world's goods in 1900 while the UK produced only 18.5% this is a decline from 22.9% in 1880. Japan with roughly 10% of Britain's industry produced 2.4%.
Just before the start of the ACW (1860) america produced 7.2% of the world's manufactoring output while Great Britain produced roughly three times that (19.9%).
Prussia economically stagnant in the first several decades of the 19th century began rapidly industrialising under Bismark. Finally with the defeat of France in the Franco-Prussian war Prussia replaced France as the premier continental power.
uh... the graph looks fine in the window where i type it but looks horrible in the actual view window i don't know how to fix this... sorry
