Between 1820 and 1913, Asia's share of global GDP fell from 58 percent to just 27 percent. Although Asia's overall GDP grew throughout the given period, the rapid industrialization observed across Europe, North America, Australia, and New Zealand saw their combined share increase from 35 percent to 67 percent, which offset Asia's growth. In particular, the combined share of North America, Australia, and New Zealand grew over ten times larger in this period, from two percent in 1820 to 21 percent in 1913.
