Ok Jeremy, I’ve opened another Claret and put another Turkey in the oven and am starting to feel a bit better. I am going with 1941 for America becoming the worlds largest economy or 1890 if the British Empire didn’t count. With China if it’s a multiple choice I’m going with 2023 otherwise I would reckon on about 2035. I think when we are all driving around in Chinese hydrogen powered cars telling us to flasten sleet belt I’ll believe it.

The answer to the first question is 1880 which surprised me a little. As for the second question.

Anybody's guess
