During the battle of Waterloo in the early 1800's - Baron Nathan Rothschild spread a rumour that England had lost the battle while also selling his almost all his shares on the London stock exchange.
This speculation started a cascade of selling and the UK market crashed almost overnight, Rothschild bought massive amounts of stocks in various institutions penny on the pound before news spread that England had won and confidence was somewhat restored in the market.
The cascade that Rothschild had started caused the first ever banking sector liquidity crisis.. At the time, the Rothschild family had enough money to pump into the system to avert a depression... similar to the US bailout but with actual money.
In return for saving the Empires economy, the Rothschilds had demanded a number of returns on investment from the British monarchy. They were given ownership of the city of London (The 600 odd acre london financial district through which the vast majority of the worlds money is transferred daily), he also pushed for the creation of a fiat money system in the Bank of England and the Empire's economy amongst other things.
It was convenient that when the market had crashed, Rothschild was bought a massive amount of Bank Of England shares - possibly even majority but that is hard to ascertain.
The Rothschild family are a pretty large, wealthy and influential family. When you get to that level of wealth and business, being large shareholders in massive central banks is not that big a feat.

As to the supposed ‘Rothschild’ connection, I don’t know why people should think that the family own us. But a number of the Rothschilds have served on the Bank’s Court of Directors over the years.

They either sit directly on the board of directors, or a proxy does.
The vast majority are families of the Committee of 300.
They do not solo the control, it has been spread to a few families
that have married amongst themselves.
Rockefeller's for example are related to the Rothschild's via a
female that married into the Rockefeller's.
It takes a little more research than one might think to find the
interconnecting threads.
It is "really" hard to belive it all, but watch "Empire of the City"
and you will get an idea what is going on and why.
Most ppl will find it too hard to believe, as did I at first til I verified
a great deal of what is there.

Well what do you mean the 'supposed' Rothschild connection... It's no secret, he said it himself.
Nathan Rothschild said (1777-1836): "I care not what puppet is placed on the throne of England to rule the Empire. The man who controls Britain's money supply controls the British Empire and I control the British money supply."
So much for this "supposed" connection...

Pay attention here, this person knows exactly what they are talking about. The Rothschild family has been the proxy owners of the banking industry for a good many years now, and they will eventually own the enter world unless they are exposed.

I'm guessing you mean "entire" world.
When did they take control of Asian and Middle East banks?
Well now that they're exposed is somebody going to arrest them and charge them with something? Anti-trust? No law I've ever heard of that says you can't own the entire world.
Might be a good thing. When they own everything there will be nothing left to go after. Maybe they'll start spreading the wealth around.
The guys who own what's left haven't been generous anyway.
