Temperate and continental climate is associated with better economic growth, this is part of why the US, Canada, and the South of South America (Argentina, Chile, Uruguay) are richer.
The UK (as Great Britain before it was renamed the UK) is the country where the industrial revolution started. The more connected to the UK, the faster a country grew, it advantaged Canada and the US which both had strong relationship with the UK due to colonization. The other countries had only an indirect effect due to being colonized by a country geographically close to the UK or being close to a country colonized by the UK.
