The best i could find given the fact I don't wanna get fired from work.

If you look this is before WWII. And even then, the GDP of colonies of the UK was just as much as the UK itself. UK is the only one of the powers that was actually able to keep its most profitable colonies, like India, while just about all other powers lost theirs due to the turbulance and loss of control during WWI. Also in your data where you got the 1900 not only was Australia also separate, but wasn't India as well? Overall the European GDP an their colonies was probably higher.
