The peak of Britains dominance of world affairs was probably between 1900 & WW1, (just don't tell the Boers that!) The Royal Navy was powered by coal & the Industrial Revoution, happening in Britain as & when it did empowered Britain in a way which no other country matched. It provided Britain with the basis of a disproportionate role in the modern world. (& perhaps the sooner we British recognise those days are long behind us the better off we will be....)

In what era was england considered wealthy?

Before Queen Elizabeth (the First), England was considered by the rest of Europe to be an unimportant backwater. After her defeat of the Spanish Armada and successful defiance of King Philip, who was the most powerful military power in the world at that time, England was seen as a World Power in its own right. From that time on, England was considered one of the top countries in wealth and power. With the establishment of the Bank of England, the East Indian Company, the Hudson Bay Company, and the technological innovations that came from being the cutting edge of the Industrial Revolution, England colonized the world, and the lion's share of global commerce flowed into London.
