July 1914: The Day Gold Died

In July 1914, the British Pound was the "Trust Machine" of the world. It wasn't just paper—it was a legal receipt for physical gold. But as the drums of World War I began to beat, the world’s most stable financial system vanished in a single weekend. In this episode of [Your Channel Name], we trace the cinematic story of the 1914 financial collapse. From the frantic bank runs on Threadneedle Street to the secret meetings in Whitehall where the "Bradbury Pound" was born, we explore how Britain "turned off" its economy to save the Empire. What you’ll learn in this video: The Gold Standard: How the world’s "Coat Check" system actually worked. The Panic: Why the London Stock Exchange closed for the first time in history. The Heist of Trust: How the government convinced an entire nation to trade their gold for "postage stamp" paper. The Legacy: Why the 1914 collapse is the secret blueprint for every modern financial crisis.
