Wars of the Austrian and Spanish Successions, the Seven Years' War, and the Napoleonic Wars.Considering the mess we appear to be in now that graph is quite interesting, the 2 big spikes in the 20th century are obviously the world wars, and their end and rebuild, but what caused the 1820(ish) peak, which dwarfs the current mess.
‘War equal debt” is the big takeaway!!!
