How Scotland Went Bankrupt - The Bad Investment That Ended a Country (The True Story)

In the 1690s, Scotland was an independent kingdom. By 1707, it was gone. This is the story of the Darien Scheme, the most catastrophic financial gamble in history. We explore how a desperate nation decided to bet 50% of its entire national wealth on a plan to build a colony in the jungles of Panama. Led by the charismatic William Paterson, thousands of Scots poured their life savings into the "Company of Scotland," hoping to become a global superpower. Instead, they found disease, starvation, and war. Discover how this failed investment bankrupted the Scottish economy, destroyed the aristocracy, and forced the nation to sell its independence to England in exchange for a bailout—creating the United Kingdom. ⚠ Disclaimer: This video was made using AI tools.
