List of countries by largest historical GDP

This list of countries by largest historical GDP shows how the membership and rankings of the world's ten largest economies has changed. While the United States has consistently had the world's largest economy since the late nineteenth century, in the last fifty years the world has seen the rapid rise and fall in relative terms of the economies of other countries as the share of the United States shrinks.
