This British city once controlled half the world’s oil. You’ve probably never heard this, but Aberdine wasn’t just oil rich. It quietly became Europe’s energy capital, funding wars, industries, and empires. By the late 20th century, Aberdine controlled over 90% of the UK’s North Sea oil production. But it didn’t start there. This quiet Scottish city once led medieval trade with Scandinavia, long before London’s rise. From Viking ports to petroleum pipelines, Aberdine has quietly pulled the strings of empire. And it’s still cashing the checks.
