    Solution

    The evolution of GFCs can be traced back to the rise of international trade and finance in the late Middle Ages, when cities such as Bruges, Genoa, and Venice emerged as key commercial hubs. However, the modern era of GFCs began in the 19th century, with the growth of industrialization and globalization. During this time, London emerged as the dominant financial center, due to its position as the center of the British Empire and the largest economy in the world. London was also home to the Bank of England, the world's first central bank, which played a crucial role in stabilizing the financial system and promoting economic growth.
