It's too bad Britain couldn't follow Russia's example with Alaska and clear government dept by selling territory. Post-war Britain sells Burma to China or Newfoundland to the USA, for instance. Britain has no interest or ability to keep these places postwar anyway, so might as well leverage their remaining value.Britain was financially devastated by World War 2. The National Debt was about 250.% of GDP.
