All of these countries grew their economies by orders of magnitudes!
Therefore, the difference between what the uk or japan did in these 125 years isn't that big even if it looks like big in the zero-sum pie charts.
Japan was like player no.2 in using computers and internet to grow their economies. I think that supports my suggestion here.
