Avantika Bose answered |
The dramatic changes in the global agricultural economy by 1890 can be summarized under three main points: the shift from local to long-distance food production, the transportation of food through railways and ships, and the conversion of forests into large farms.
1. Shift from local to long-distance food production:
- Prior to 1890, people relied on locally produced food from nearby villages and farms. However, with the advent of modern transportation and trade networks, food began to be sourced from thousands of miles away.
- This was facilitated by advancements in agriculture, such as the use of machinery, improved irrigation techniques, and the development of new crop varieties.
- As a result, people could access a wider variety of food that was grown in different parts of the world, leading to a significant shift in the global agricultural economy.
2. Transportation through railways and ships:
- The construction of railways and the expansion of shipping routes played a crucial role in the global agricultural economy by making it possible to transport food over long distances.
- Railways allowed for faster and more efficient transportation of perishable goods, reducing the time it took to deliver food from the production sites to the markets.
- Ships, manned by low-paid workers from southern Europe, Asia, and Africa, facilitated the transportation of bulk commodities and non-perishable goods across oceans.
- This transportation infrastructure enabled the movement of food from agricultural regions to urban centers and international markets, thereby transforming the agricultural economy on a global scale.
3. Conversion of forests into large farms:
- The expansion of agriculture led to the conversion of forests into large farms, particularly in regions with fertile land and favorable climates.
- Forests were cleared to make way for agricultural activities, resulting in ecological changes such as deforestation, loss of biodiversity, and changes in soil composition.
- The conversion of forests into farms also involved the use of mechanized farming techniques, such as plowing and irrigation systems, which further transformed the agricultural landscape.
In summary, the dramatic changes in the global agricultural economy by 1890 included the shift from local to long-distance food production, transportation through railways and ships, and the conversion of forests into large farms. These changes were driven by advancements in agriculture, transportation infrastructure, and the increasing demand for food in growing urban centers and international markets.

Lucifer Morning Star answered |
Rinderpest arrived in Africa in the late 1880s. Within two years, it spread in the whole continent reaching Cape Town within five years. Rinderpest had a terrifying impact on people’s livelihoods and the local economy. It killed about 90 percent of the cattle. Planters, mine owners and colonial governments became successful to strengthen their power and to force Africans into the labour market.

Importance of Caribbean Islands for Indentured Migrants
Indentured migration was a system of labor migration that emerged in the 19th century to address labor shortages in various parts of the world. It involved the recruitment and transportation of workers from one country or region to another under a contractual agreement that bound them to work for a specific period in exchange for passage, food, clothing, and shelter. The Caribbean Islands were an important destination for indentured migrants, and here's why:
1. Historical Context
The Caribbean Islands were colonized by Europeans, primarily the British, French, and Spanish, who established sugar plantations that required a massive workforce. The indigenous population was decimated by diseases, and African slaves were brought in to work on the plantations. However, the abolition of slavery in the 19th century created a labor shortage, and the plantation owners turned to indentured labor to fill the gap.
2. Recruitment and Transportation
Indentured labor was recruited from various parts of the world, including India, China, and Africa. The recruitment process involved agents who traveled to different regions to sign up workers for the journey to the Caribbean Islands. The workers were promised a better life and higher wages than they could earn at home. They signed a contract that bound them to work for a specific period, usually five years, in exchange for passage, food, clothing, and shelter.
3. Living and Working Conditions
The living and working conditions of indentured laborers in the Caribbean Islands were harsh. They were housed in barracks and subjected to long hours of work in the sugar fields. The work was grueling, and the climate was hot and humid. Many workers died from disease, malnutrition, and overwork.
4. Legacy of Indentured Migration
Indentured migration to the Caribbean Islands lasted from the mid-19th century to the early 20th century. It brought millions of workers to the region, who contributed to the development of the sugar industry and the economy. However, it also created a legacy of exploitation, inequality, and discrimination that persists to this day.
Conclusion

The system of indentured migration brought millions of workers to the region, who contributed to the development of the sugar industry and the economy. However, it also created a legacy of exploitation and discrimination that continues to affect the region.

Rahul Kapoor answered |
The term globalization derives from the word globalize, which refers to the emergence of an international network of economic systems.One of the earliest known usages of the term as a noun was in a 1930 publication entitled Towards New Education, where it denoted a holistic view of human experience in education. The term 'globalization' had been used in its economic sense at least as early as 1981, and in other senses since at least as early as 1944.Theodore Levitt is credited with popularizing the term and bringing it into the mainstream business audience in the later half of the 1980s. Since its inception, the concept of globalization has inspired competing definitions and interpretations. Its antecedents date back to the great movements of trade and empire across Asia and the Indian Ocean from the 15th century onward.

Food offers many examples of long-distance cultural exchange. Traders and travellers introduced new crops to the lands they travelled. Even 'ready' foodstuff in distant parts of the world might share common origins. Take spaghetti and noodles. It is believed that noodles travelled west from China to become spaghetti.

The example of indentured labour's migration from India illustrates the two-sided nature of the 19th century world, as it highlights the coexistence of economic growth and misery, higher income for some and poverty for others, and technological advances in some areas alongside new forms of coercion in others. Indentured labour was a form of cheap, contracted labour that was used in many parts of the world during the 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in the British Empire. Many indentured labourers were recruited from India, and they were often promised good wages and working conditions in exchange for their labour. However, in practice, many indentured labourers faced harsh and exploitative conditions, and their migration to other parts of the world was often driven by poverty and desperation. The example of indentured labour's migration from India therefore illustrates the complex and contradictory nature of the 19th century world, in which economic and technological progress coexisted with widespread poverty and exploitation.

Consequences of the Abolition of the Corn Laws
The decision to abolish the Corn Laws in 1846 had significant consequences, particularly impacting trade and agriculture in Britain.
Overview of the Corn Laws
- The Corn Laws were tariffs and trade restrictions on imported grain.
- They aimed to protect domestic producers by keeping grain prices high.
Impact on Trade
- Abolishing the Corn Laws opened up the British market to imported grains, particularly from countries like America and Russia.
- This increased competition led to lower prices for food, benefiting consumers and enhancing their purchasing power.
Effect on Agriculture
- Although some domestic farmers faced challenges due to increased foreign competition, the overall agricultural sector had to adapt and innovate.
- Farmers began to diversify their crops and improve efficiency to compete with cheaper imports.
Strengthening of Local Economies
- Lower food prices resulted in increased disposable income for workers and consumers.
- This stimulated local economies as people had more money to spend on goods and services, boosting various sectors beyond agriculture.
Conclusion
- The abolition of the Corn Laws ultimately facilitated a transition towards a more modern agricultural and trading system.
- It promoted a free-market approach that encouraged efficiency and competitiveness, benefiting the economy as a whole.
By understanding these dynamics, we can appreciate how the decision to abolish the Corn Laws was pivotal in shaping modern economic policies and agricultural practices in Britain.

c) In mines, plantations, road and railway construction projects around the world
In the 19th century, hundreds of thousands of Indian and Chinese labourers went to work on a variety of projects around the world, including mines, plantations, road and railway construction projects. This migration was driven by a number of factors, including economic opportunity and the demand for labor in these sectors.
Many of these labourers went to work in British colonies and territories, where they were recruited to fill labor shortages. They often worked under difficult and exploitative conditions, and their contributions to the development of these countries have often been overlooked or undervalued.
Indian and Chinese labourers also worked on other projects around the world, including in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. Their work played a significant role in the economic development of these regions and contributed to the global flow of goods, people, and ideas.

Goods are transported in refrigerated ships that are fully equipped with a system to circulate air properly. You can also ship in refrigerated containers.
Nowadays, markets and consumers are more demanding of quality services in all areas, include transportation and merchandise. Transporting goods is a complicated endeavor and more so when it comes to products that are sensitive, that are perishable goods

Jyoti Sen answered |
Henry Ford adopted the concept of assembly line to produce automobiles.
Assembly line revolutionized the way goods were manufactured, making production faster, more efficient, and cost-effective. Henry Ford, an American industrialist, was the first to successfully implement the assembly line in automobile manufacturing.
Reason for adopting the assembly line concept:
- Henry Ford wanted to increase the production capacity of his company, Ford Motor Company, and reduce the cost of manufacturing automobiles.
- He aimed to make cars affordable for the average American, and the assembly line helped achieve this goal by reducing production time and costs.
Implementation of the assembly line:
- Ford introduced the assembly line at his Highland Park, Michigan, plant in 1913 for producing the Model T automobile.
- The assembly line divided the production process into small, repetitive tasks performed by workers stationed along the line.
- Each worker was responsible for a specific task, such as installing a particular part of the car, which increased efficiency and productivity.
Impact of the assembly line:
- The assembly line drastically reduced the time required to produce a car, from over 12 hours to just 93 minutes.
- It also lowered the cost of production, making automobiles more affordable for the general public.
- The success of Ford's assembly line not only revolutionized the automotive industry but also influenced other industries to adopt similar manufacturing techniques.

Read the sources given below and answer the questions that follows:The trade in meat offers a good example of this connected process. Till the 1870s, animals were shipped live from America to Europe and then slaughtered when they arrived there. But live animals took up a lot of ship space. Many also died in voyage, fell ill, lost weight, or became unfit to eat. Meat was hence an expensive luxury beyond the reach of the European poor. High prices in turn kept demand and production down until the development of a new technology, namely, refrigerated ships, which enabled the transport of perishable foods over long distances. Now animals were slaughtered for food at the starting point – in America, Australia or New Zealand – and then transported to Europe as frozen meat. This reduced shipping costs and lowered meat prices in Europe. The poor in Europe could now consume a more varied diet. To the earlier monotony of bread and potatoes many, though not all, could now add meat (and butter and eggs) to their diet.

Significant Outcome of Trade Expansion
The late nineteenth century marked a transformative period in global trade, characterized by the expansion of markets, the rise of industrialization, and increased connectivity. However, this expansion had complex consequences, particularly regarding the loss of freedoms and livelihoods in many parts of the world.
Economic Displacement
- The growth of international trade often favored industrialized nations, leading to the exploitation of resources in colonized regions.
- Local economies struggled to compete with cheaper, imported goods, resulting in economic displacement for artisans and traditional craftspeople.
Colonial Exploitation
- Many nations experienced intensified colonial rule, where local populations were subjected to harsh labor conditions and minimal compensation.
- The extraction of resources was prioritized over the well-being of indigenous communities, leading to widespread poverty and disenfranchisement.
Loss of Autonomy
- As global markets expanded, many regions lost their economic autonomy, becoming dependent on foreign powers.
- This dependence often resulted in the undermining of local governance and cultural practices, as colonial powers imposed their systems and values.
Labor Exploitation
- Workers in colonized regions faced exploitation, with long working hours and little regard for their rights.
- The demand for raw materials and cheap labor facilitated the growth of oppressive labor systems, such as indentured servitude and forced labor.
Conclusion
In summary, while the expansion of trade in the late nineteenth century contributed to economic growth in certain areas, it also led to significant losses in freedoms and livelihoods, particularly for colonized peoples. The negative impacts of this trade expansion highlight the complexities of globalization and its uneven benefits across different societies.

Many also died in voyage, fell ill, lost weight, or became unfit to eat. Meat was hence an expensive luxury beyond the reach of the European poor. High prices in turn kept demand and production down until the development of a new technology, namely, refrigerated ships, which enabled the transport of perishable foods over long distances. Now animals were slaughtered for food at the starting point – in America, Australia or New Zealand – and then transported to Europe as frozen meat. This reduced shipping costs and lowered meat prices in Europe. The poor in Europe could now consume a more varied diet. To the earlier monotony of bread and potatoes many, though not all, could now add meat (and butter and eggs) to their diet. Better living condition promoted social peace within the country and support for imperialism abroad.Answer the following MCQs by choosing the most appropriate option:Q.

In the 19th century, increasing food production in the world required more than just clearing land. Several factors played a crucial role in enhancing agricultural productivity and meeting the growing demands for food. These factors include:
a) Railways to link agricultural regions, harbors to be expanded or built for new cargoes:
- Railways played a significant role in improving transportation and connectivity between different agricultural regions. They facilitated the movement of agricultural produce, machinery, and manpower, thus reducing transportation costs and time.
- The expansion or construction of harbors was necessary to accommodate larger ships and increase the efficiency of trade. This allowed for the import and export of agricultural goods to and from different parts of the world, further boosting food production.
b) Building homes and settlements for those working on land:
- Providing suitable housing and settlements for agricultural workers was crucial to ensure a stable workforce and sustained agricultural production. Adequate housing facilities helped attract and retain workers, leading to increased efficiency and productivity in farming activities.
c) Capital and labor:
- Capital investment was necessary to improve farming techniques, infrastructure, and machinery. This included investments in irrigation systems, improved tools and equipment, and the introduction of new farming methods. Capital also enabled the purchase of seeds, fertilizers, and other inputs required for enhanced production.
- Adequate labor supply was essential for agricultural expansion. Increasing population and urbanization during the 19th century led to a shortage of agricultural labor. Efforts were made to encourage migration of people from rural to agricultural areas to meet the growing demand for labor.
d) All the above:
- The correct answer is option 'D' because all the mentioned factors were interdependent and played a significant role in increasing food production in the world. Railways and expanded harbors facilitated transportation and trade, while housing and settlements provided a stable workforce. Capital investment and labor supply were essential for implementing advanced farming techniques and expanding agricultural operations.
In conclusion, increasing food production in the 19th century required a comprehensive approach that encompassed clearing land, establishing transportation networks, providing suitable housing for workers, and ensuring sufficient capital and labor resources. These factors worked together to enhance agricultural productivity and meet the growing demands for food.

To determine the number of people who migrated from Europe to America and Australia and other parts of the world in the 19th century, we can analyze the given options:
A: 10 million from Europe and 100 million from all over the world:
- This option only considers the number of people from Europe and the total number from all over the world, without specifying the destinations.
- It does not provide information about the migration to America and Australia specifically.
- This option is not a suitable choice as it lacks specific details.
B: 20 million from Europe and about 150 million from all over the world:
- This option provides a specific number of people from Europe (20 million) and the total number from all over the world (about 150 million).
- However, it does not mention the specific destinations of migration.
- This option is also not a suitable choice as it lacks specific details about migration to America and Australia.
C: 50 million people from Europe to America and Australia and 150 million from all over the world migrate:
- This option provides a specific number of people from Europe (50 million) and the total number from all over the world (150 million).
- It also mentions the specific destinations of migration, including America and Australia.
- This option is the most suitable choice as it provides specific details about migration to America and Australia.
D: The number is not certain, not enough proof:
- This option suggests that there is not enough evidence or proof to determine the number of migrants.
- It does not provide any specific details or estimates.
- This option is not a suitable choice as it does not provide any useful information.
Therefore, the correct answer is C: 50 million people from Europe to America and Australia and 150 million from all over the world migrate.
Read the sources given below and answer the questions that follows:Population growth from the late eighteenth century had increased the demand for food grains in Britain. As urban centres expanded and industry grew, the demand for agricultural products went up, pushing up food grain prices. Under pressure from landed groups, the government also restricted the import of corn. The laws allowing the government to do this were commonly known as the 'Corn Laws'. Unhappy with high food prices, industrialists and urban dwellers forced the abolition of the Corn Laws. After the Corn Laws were scrapped, food could be imported into Britain more cheaply than it could be produced within the country. British agriculture was unable to compete with imports. Vast areas of land were now left uncultivated, and thousands of men and women were thrown out of work. They flocked to the cities or migrated overseas.Answer the following MCQs by choosing the most appropriate option:Q. The government restricted the import of:- a)Medicines

The difference between WWI and WWII is that the first world war was fought with the motive of acquiring territories and colonies hence imperialism was the cause whereas the second World War was based on the domination of ideologies like Fascism, Nazism, and communism.
