From Dominance to Decline: The rise of BRICS and Petrodollar Collapse?

  The petrodollar system was established in the early 1970’s. It was an agreement between oil-rich Gulf states and the United States.

The Scottish population rallied behind Sir William to gain independence from English rule. This Scottish struggle is known by historians as the first war of Scottish independence.
