Belgium split off from Netherlands after they made their wealth from the colonies.
Germany and Austria were starting early on policies that encouraged capital and industrial developments, while Spain and Portugal were on the way down with obsolete economic policies.
France was still behind from being BTFO by all of Europe.
The wealth wasn't the whole story, but to suggest it wasn't a major factor is simply nuts.
