D) They lost it all as a result of fighting two world wars during the first half of the 20th century.

Step-by-step explanation:

However, all of this wealth was lost during World War I and World War II when all three countries spent their treasuries on weapons, supplies and (for Germany) post-war payments to the European countries they destroyed.
