World War I, banking crisis, gold standard collapse, financial manipulation, and global economic history converge in this shocking investigation into how the Great War saved a dying financial system. This video uncovers the hidden pre-war banking collapse of 1913–1914, revealing how European and American banks used World War I as a cover to escape insolvency, suspend the gold standard, and transfer private debt to taxpayers through government war bonds. You’ll discover the secret origins of the Federal Reserve, the political use of war as a bailout mechanism, and how the modern “too big to fail” doctrine was born from financial desperation over a century ago. With cinematic storytelling and historical depth, this documentary-style analysis exposes how banks leveraged crisis, propaganda, and government intervention to rewrite the rules of money and power. From London’s stock exchange shutdown to the creation of fiat currency, this is the real story behind the First World War’s economic legacy—and the blueprint for every bailout since 1929, 2008, and 2020. Perfect for viewers interested in economic history, hidden finance, global elites, and how war, money, and politics remain eternally intertwined.
