Jyoti Kapoor answered |
Opium was first introduced to China by Turkish and Arab traders in the late 6th or early 7th century CE. Taken orally to relieve tension and pain, the drug was used in limited quantities until the 17th century. At that point, the practice of smoking tobacco spread from North America to China, and opium smoking soon became popular throughout the country.

Abhishek Das answered |
**Answer:**
The correct answer is option 'B': illegal.
**Background:**
During the mid-18th century, there was a significant trade relationship between China and Western countries. One of the key commodities in this trade was opium, which was primarily imported by the British East India Company from India and sold to the Chinese market. The Chinese government initially permitted the trade, but as the negative consequences of opium addiction became apparent, they began to restrict and eventually prohibit the trade.
**Explanation:**
* **Opium trade with China:**
- The British East India Company played a significant role in the opium trade with China during the mid-18th century. They imported opium from British-controlled India and sold it in China.
- Opium was in high demand in China, where it was used for medicinal purposes. However, its recreational use became widespread, leading to addiction and social problems.
- The trade was profitable for the British, but it had severe repercussions on Chinese society, as the addiction problem grew rapidly.
* **Chinese opposition to the trade:**
- The Chinese government recognized the detrimental effects of opium addiction and attempted to restrict its use and trade.
- In 1729, the Qing Dynasty issued a ban on opium smoking, but it was largely ineffective.
- In 1799, the Emperor issued a decree prohibiting the import and consumption of opium, but this too had limited success.
* **Opium Wars and the illegality of trade:**
- The Chinese government's efforts to curtail the opium trade led to tensions with the British, who were profiting from it.
- These tensions eventually culminated in the Opium Wars, with the first war occurring from 1839 to 1842.
- The Opium Wars resulted in China's defeat and the signing of the Treaty of Nanking in 1842, which legalized the opium trade and ceded Hong Kong to the British.
- However, it is important to note that before the Treaty of Nanking, the opium trade was considered illegal in China.
* **Conclusion:**
- In the mid-18th century, the trade in opium with China was considered illegal.
- Although the British East India Company continued to engage in the trade, the Chinese government attempted to restrict and eventually prohibit it due to the negative consequences of opium addiction.
- The legalization of the opium trade came about as a result of the Opium Wars and subsequent treaties.

Common land is land owned collectively by a number of persons, or by one person, but over which other people have certain traditional rights, such as to allow their livestock to graze upon it, to collect wood, or to cut turf for fuel. It’s main features are that all villagers had access to it, it helped sustain the meagre income of the poor and the poor fished in ponds, collected fuel, food and fodder.

Aruna Singh answered |
The first Opium War took place between Britain and China from 1839 to 1842. The conflict arose due to tensions over the trade of opium, a narcotic drug produced in India and sold to China by British merchants. The Chinese government had attempted to ban the trade of opium, but British merchants continued to smuggle the drug into China, leading to a series of confrontations between the two sides. The war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Nanjing, which granted Britain significant concessions, including the cession of Hong Kong to Britain and the opening of several Chinese ports to foreign trade. The war was followed by the second Opium War in 1856-1860, which also involved British and French forces and resulted in further concessions from the Chinese government.

Focus Academy answered |
Factors contributing to increased food grain production in post-1780 Britain can be attributed to a combination of radical innovations in technology, population expansion, urbanization, and simple innovations coupled with new lands under cultivation.
- Radical Innovations in Technology:
- The Agricultural Revolution brought about significant advancements in farming techniques, such as the use of seed drills, crop rotation, and selective breeding of livestock.
- The development of new farming machinery, such as the threshing machine and the reaper, increased efficiency and productivity in the agricultural sector.
- Population Expansion:
- The population of Britain experienced a significant increase during the post-1780 period.
- A growing population created a higher demand for food, which necessitated an increase in food grain production.
- Urbanization:
- The process of urbanization led to the growth of cities and towns, which resulted in a higher demand for food from urban areas.
- This demand stimulated agricultural production, as farmers had to increase their yields to meet the needs of the growing urban population.
- Simple Innovations and New Lands under Cultivation:
- Farmers implemented simple innovations, such as improving drainage systems and using fertilizers, to enhance crop yields.
- The enclosure movement, which involved consolidating and enclosing small plots of land, allowed for more efficient land use and increased agricultural productivity.
- Additionally, new lands were brought under cultivation, either through the reclamation of marshes and wastelands or through agricultural expansion in colonies and newly acquired territories.
Overall, the combination of technological advancements, population growth, urbanization, and simple innovations, along with the utilization of new lands, contributed to the significant increase in food grain production in post-1780 Britain.

US President Wilson said "Plant more wheat, wheat will win the war".
United Kingdom, France and Russia were Members of Allied powers and America was on the side of the Allies. During the First World War the world market boomed. Russian supplies of wheat were cut off and the USA had to feed Europe. US President Wilson called upon farmers to respond to the need of the time and support the allies to wage the wars by fulfilling their domestic demand for wheat.

Kiran Desai answered |
Captain Swing was not a real person, but rather a fictional character or pseudonym used during the Swing Riots in England in the 1830s. The Swing Riots were a series of protests and acts of violence carried out by rural workers, particularly agricultural laborers, against the introduction of new threshing machines and the poor economic conditions they faced.
Captain Swing as a Symbol of Protest:
1. Symbolic figure: Captain Swing was not an actual individual, but a name used by protesters to sign threatening letters sent to landowners, farmers, and magistrates. These letters demanded higher wages, lower rents, and the destruction of new machinery.
2. Disguised identity: The use of a pseudonym allowed the protesters to remain anonymous and avoid immediate retaliation from authorities. The name "Captain Swing" was chosen to evoke a sense of rebellion and resistance.
3. Organized resistance: By adopting a common identity, the rural workers were able to coordinate their actions and present a united front against the oppressive conditions they faced. The letters signed by Captain Swing were often accompanied by acts of arson, machine-breaking, and other forms of sabotage.
4. Fear and intimidation: The letters sent by Captain Swing were often written in a threatening tone, warning of dire consequences if the demands were not met. This created a sense of fear and uncertainty among landowners and authorities, as they were unsure of the true extent of the protest movement and the potential for further violence.
Impact and Legacy:
1. Government response: The Swing Riots and the actions of Captain Swing led to a significant government crackdown on the protesters. Special commissions were set up to investigate the riots, and hundreds of people were arrested and sentenced to transportation or imprisonment.
2. Reform movements: The protests and violence associated with Captain Swing played a role in raising awareness of the harsh conditions faced by agricultural laborers. This, in turn, contributed to the growth of reform movements advocating for workers' rights and improved living conditions.
3. Historical significance: Captain Swing and the Swing Riots are seen as an important moment in the history of labor relations in England. They highlighted the social and economic inequalities of the time and paved the way for future labor movements and the eventual establishment of trade unions.
In summary, Captain Swing was a fictional character or pseudonym used by rural workers during the Swing Riots in England. The use of this name allowed the protesters to coordinate their actions, create fear and intimidation, and present a united front against the oppressive conditions they faced. The legacy of Captain Swing and the Swing Riots includes government crackdowns, the growth of reform movements, and their historical significance in the struggle for workers' rights.

Maitri Ahuja answered |
Methods used to oust the Indian Americans were both numerous wars in which Indians were massacred and many villages were burnt, as well as the forceful removal of Indian tribes through treaties that required them to give up their lands and move westward.
1. Wars and Massacres:
- The European colonization of North America led to numerous conflicts between the settlers and the Native American tribes. These conflicts often resulted in wars, with the Indians being outnumbered and outgunned.
- Many Indian tribes were massacred by the European settlers and their allied Native American tribes. These massacres were often brutal and resulted in the loss of many innocent lives.
- The settlers also burned down Indian villages and destroyed their crops, leaving them without a source of sustenance and forcing them to either surrender or relocate.
2. Treaties and Forced Removal:
- After being defeated in wars, Indian tribes were forced to sign treaties that required them to give up their lands to the settlers. These treaties were often unfair and imposed upon the tribes without their full understanding or consent.
- The Indian Removal Act of 1830, signed by President Andrew Jackson, paved the way for the forced removal of Native American tribes from their ancestral lands. This act authorized the relocation of tribes to designated Indian Territory in present-day Oklahoma.
- The most infamous forced removal was the Trail of Tears, where the Cherokee Nation was forcibly removed from their lands in Georgia and forced to march to Indian Territory. Thousands of Cherokees died during the journey due to harsh conditions.
3. Peaceful Negotiations:
- While there were instances of peaceful negotiations between Native American tribes and the settlers, these were often overshadowed by the use of force and the injustice inflicted upon the tribes.
- Some tribes, such as the Iroquois Confederacy, initially sought alliances with the European settlers to maintain their sovereignty and protect their interests. However, over time, their lands and rights were eroded.
Overall, the methods used to oust the Indian Americans included both violent and coercive measures, such as wars, massacres, and forced removal through treaties. These actions resulted in the displacement, suffering, and loss of ancestral lands for many Native American tribes.

Factors in British confiscation of opium produced in Central India and Rajasthan:
1. Retention of British government's monopoly rights: The British government had established a monopoly on the trade of opium, and confiscating opium produced in Central India and Rajasthan allowed them to maintain control over the lucrative trade.
2. Inferior quality of opium: It is not mentioned in the question that the opium produced was of inferior quality. Therefore, this factor is not applicable.
3. Selling to local traders: Many cultivators in Central India and Rajasthan were selling their opium crop to local traders instead of the British East India Company. This threatened the British government's monopoly, leading to the confiscation of opium.
4. Peasants refusing to sell after taking advances: Peasants, who were often in need of immediate cash, would take advances from the British East India Company in exchange for their opium crop. However, some peasants would later refuse to sell their opium, causing financial losses for the company. Confiscating the opium was a way for the British government to prevent such situations.
In conclusion, the main factor in the British confiscation of opium produced in Central India and Rajasthan was to retain the British government's monopoly rights to the opium trade.
1. Retention of British government's monopoly rights: The British government had established a monopoly on the trade of opium, and confiscating opium produced in Central India and Rajasthan allowed them to maintain control over the lucrative trade.

Ipsita Dey answered |
The poor were opposed to the threshing machines because for them they were a sign of bad times.The machines reduced the dependence of landowners on labourers and led to their displacement.Many a pogr lost their jobs during the threshing season and had to tramp long distances to seek alternate employment in other villages or cities.Machines gave landowners bargaining powers and reduced the status of the poor to wage earners.The jobs of the poor became insecure, income unstable and livelihood precarious.

Opium production in India was linked with British trade in China
- Opium production in India was closely linked with British trade in China during the 18th and 19th centuries.
- The British East India Company, which had established a monopoly on trade with India, began cultivating opium in India as a means to fulfill the high demand for the drug in China.
- Opium was grown in large quantities in the fertile regions of Bengal and Bihar in India.
- The British East India Company then smuggled the opium into China, where it was sold for a high profit.
- The profits from the opium trade played a significant role in financing the British Empire's expansion and industrial development.
- The opium trade also had devastating effects on Chinese society, leading to widespread addiction and social problems.
- The Chinese government attempted to ban the import of opium, leading to the Opium Wars between China and Britain in the mid-19th century.
- The British victory in these wars further solidified their control over the opium trade and China's economy.
- Ultimately, the opium trade played a significant role in shaping the relationship between Britain and China during this period.

The British Proclamation of 1763 ordered a halt to the westward movement at the Appalachians, but the decree was widely disregarded. Settlers scurried into Ohio, Tennessee, and Kentucky. After the American Revolution, a flood of people crossed the mountains into the fertile lands between the Appalachians and the Mississippi River. By 1810 Ohio, Tennessee, and Kentucky had been transformed from wilderness into a region of farms and towns.

Sahana Bajaj answered |
The United States President Woodrow Wilson said "plant more wheat, wheat will win the war."
As we see during the second World war Russia supplies of wheat were cut off and wheat price touched the sky. As the US had to feed Europe especially her allies, Wilson encouraged the farmers to grow more wheat and thus said "plant more wheat, wheat will war" which motivated the farmers to growmore and more wheat. Wheat was very profitable during the First world War and it boomed the US export market.

In the early 19th century, indigo and opium were two of the major commercial crops.
By the end of the century, peasants were producing sugarcane, cotton, jute, wheat and several other crops for export.
These crops were produced to feed the population of urban Europe and to supply to the mills of Lancashire and Manchester in England.

The Dust Bowl was a period of severe dust storms that greatly damaged the ecology and agriculture of the American and Canadian prairies during the 1930s; severe drought and a failure to apply dryland farming methods to prevent the aeolian processes (wind erosion) caused the phenomenon.

Bhargavi Singh answered |
Before the 18th century in large parts of England, the countryside was open. Peasants cultivated on strips of land around the village they lived in.
At the beginning of each year, strips of varying quality were allocated to each villager.
Beyond these strips of cultivation, lay the common land. All villagers had an access to the commons.
For the poor, the common land was essential for survival. It supplemented meagre income, sustained their cattle, and helped them tide over bad times, when crops failed.

Avinash Patel answered |
Explanation:
The correct answer is option D: All the above.
The disappearance of the practice of living with landowners and working for them throughout the year drastically changed the lives of the labourers. The following factors contributed to this change:
1. Living and working conditions: Before 1800, labourers lived with landowners, ate with their masters, and helped them throughout the year. They were provided with basic necessities like food and shelter. However, with the disappearance of this practice, labourers had to find their own accommodation and manage their own meals.
2. Wage employment: Instead of living with landowners, labourers started to work for wages. This meant that they were no longer dependent on landowners for their livelihood. They could now seek employment based on their skills and availability of work.
3. Seasonal employment: Labourers were now employed only during harvest times or when there was a need for their specific skills. This meant that their employment became more temporary and uncertain.
4. Reduction in worker benefits: To increase their profits, landlords started cutting the amount they had to spend on their workers. This led to a decrease in wages and a reduction in worker benefits such as food, shelter, and other provisions.
Overall, the disappearance of the practice of living with landowners and the shift towards wage employment and seasonal work had a significant impact on the lives of the labourers, making them more independent but also exposing them to greater uncertainty and reduced benefits.

Saumya Singh answered |
The Confucian rulers of China, the Manchus, were suspicious of all foreign merchants because they were apprehensive of foreign merchants meddling into local politics. Hence they were not willing to allow the entry of foreign goods. This meant an outflow of treasure from England because tea could be bought only by making payment in silver coins or bullion. The English traders wanted a community which could be easily sold in China so that the import of tea could be financed in a profitable way.

Skyhigh Academy answered |
16th century enclosures were driven by:
1. Desire to improve breeding and expand wool production:
- Enclosures were primarily driven by the need to improve agricultural practices and increase productivity.
- Landowners sought to enclose their land to implement new farming techniques and selectively breed livestock, especially sheep, to produce higher-quality wool.
- Enclosed lands allowed for better control over the breeding process and the ability to focus on specific breeds that yielded more profitable results.
2. Land grab:
- Enclosures also served as a means for wealthy landowners to consolidate their holdings and gain more control over agricultural resources.
- By enclosing common lands and converting them into private property, landowners could expand their estates and increase their wealth and power.
- Enclosures often resulted in the displacement of small farmers and rural communities, leading to social unrest and economic inequality.
3. Parliamentary legislation:
- While enclosures were primarily driven by individual landowners, some enclosures were facilitated by parliamentary legislation.
- Acts of Parliament, such as the Statute of Merton (1235) and the Statute of Westminster (1285), provided legal mechanisms for landowners to enclose their lands.
- However, it is important to note that parliamentary legislation was not the main driving force behind enclosures in the 16th century.
4. Desire to increase grain production:
- While wool production was a significant factor, the desire to increase grain production also played a role in enclosures.
- Enclosed lands allowed for more efficient cultivation of crops and the implementation of new agricultural techniques.
- Landowners could focus on growing cash crops, such as wheat and barley, to meet the growing demand for food and increase their profits.
Overall, the 16th century enclosures were primarily driven by the desire to improve breeding and expand wool production, as well as the pursuit of land consolidation and increased agricultural productivity. While parliamentary legislation and the desire to increase grain production also played a role, they were not the main driving forces behind enclosures during this period.

Tanvi Chauhan answered |
Westward movement in the USA is closely connected to agrarian expansion. This movement was a major factor in the growth and development of the United States, as settlers moved westward in search of new land and opportunities.
Reasons for Westward Movement
Several factors contributed to the westward movement, including:
- Economic opportunities: Many people moved west in search of better economic opportunities, such as fertile land for farming, gold and silver mines, and new markets for goods and services.
- Manifest Destiny: This idea, popular in the 19th century, held that it was the destiny of the United States to expand westward and spread its influence and values across the continent.
- Government policies: The US government encouraged westward migration through policies such as the Homestead Act, which offered free land to settlers who agreed to work and improve it.
Impact on Agrarian Expansion
The westward movement had a profound impact on agrarian expansion in the USA. As settlers moved westward, they brought with them new farming techniques and technologies, such as the plow and the reaper, which allowed them to cultivate larger areas of land more efficiently.
The fertile soil of the Midwest and Great Plains also provided ideal conditions for farming, and many settlers established successful farms and ranches in these regions. This led to a significant increase in agricultural production, which in turn fueled economic growth and development.
The westward movement also had other impacts on agrarian expansion, including:
- Encroachment on Native American land: The westward movement often involved the forced displacement of Native American tribes from their ancestral lands, which allowed settlers to expand their farms and ranches.
- Expansion of slavery: The westward movement contributed to the expansion of slavery in the United States, as slave owners brought their slaves with them to work on their farms and plantations.
In conclusion, the westward movement in the USA is closely connected to agrarian expansion, as it allowed settlers to establish new farms and ranches in fertile regions and contributed to the growth and development of the agricultural sector. However, this expansion also had negative impacts, including the displacement of Native American tribes and the expansion of slavery.

Abhishek Das answered |
The correct answer is option D: American-Indians could be used as labor.
Explanation:
The phrase "land of promise" is often used to describe the United States and its reputation as a place of opportunity and advancement. Throughout American history, several factors have contributed to this perception. However, one factor that did not contribute to America being a land of promise was the use of American-Indians as labor.
a) Wildness could be turned into cultivated fields:
One of the factors that contributed to America being a land of promise was the abundant land and the opportunity for settlers to transform the wilderness into cultivated fields. This attracted many immigrants who sought to establish farms and build a better life for themselves and their families.
b) Forest timber exploited for export:
Another factor was the vast forests that provided a valuable resource for the growing nation. Timber was exploited for export, contributing to economic growth and providing employment opportunities.
c) Animals hunted for skin and mountains mined for gold and minerals:
The abundance of wildlife and natural resources also played a role in America's reputation as a land of promise. Animals were hunted for their skins, which contributed to the fur trade industry. Additionally, mountains were mined for gold and minerals, which attracted prospectors and miners seeking wealth and opportunity.
d) American-Indians could be used as labor:
The use of American-Indians as labor was not a factor that contributed to America being a land of promise. In fact, the treatment of American-Indians throughout history has been marred by displacement, violence, and discrimination. Native Americans were often forcibly removed from their ancestral lands and subjected to unfair treaties and policies that aimed to assimilate or exploit them.
Instead of being seen as a source of labor, Native Americans were often viewed as obstacles to progress and expansion. Their displacement and mistreatment do not align with the idea of a land of promise that offers equal opportunities for all.
In conclusion, while factors such as transforming wilderness into cultivated fields, exploiting forest timber, hunting animals for skins, and mining mountains for gold and minerals contributed to America being seen as a land of promise, the use of American-Indians as labor was not a factor that supported this perception.

The mechanical reaper was invented by Cyrus McCormick in 1831. This machine was used by farmers to harvest crops mechanically. For hundreds of years, farmers and field workers had to harvest crops by hand using a sickle or other methods, which was an arduous task at best.

Turnip and Clover for Soil Fertility Improvement
Turnip and clover are known as green manure crops that can help improve soil fertility through various mechanisms.
Nitrogen Fixation
- Clover is a leguminous plant that forms a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria in its roots. This process helps convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use, thus enriching the soil with nitrogen.
Organic Matter Addition
- Both turnip and clover are known for their ability to add organic matter to the soil when they decompose. This organic matter helps improve soil structure, water-holding capacity, and nutrient availability.
Root System Enhancement
- Turnip and clover have deep root systems that can break up compacted soil, improve aeration, and enhance nutrient uptake by plants.
Soil Erosion Prevention
- The dense root systems of turnip and clover help hold the soil together, reducing erosion caused by wind and water.
Crop Rotation Benefits
- Incorporating turnip and clover into crop rotation systems can help break pest and disease cycles, improve soil health, and increase crop yields in subsequent seasons.
By cultivating turnip and clover as part of a sustainable agricultural system, farmers can enhance soil fertility, reduce reliance on synthetic fertilizers, and promote long-term soil health.

Jyoti Kapoor answered |
The big farmers of USA bought the new reaper machine. Then the work could be done quickly with minimum number of labourers. Mechanisation reduced the need for labour and created unemployment. Some small-scale farmers even bought these machines, with the loans banks offered them, but found it extremely difficult to pay back, when the demand decreased after the First World War.These farmers left their farms and ventured out in search of employment. But jobs were also difficult to find out due to mechanisation.Thus, it can be concluded that machines brought misery for the poor farmers.

- Introduction: Opium was introduced into China by a European country during the 19th century. This act had significant consequences for China, leading to widespread addiction and social, economic, and political problems.
- Opium Trade: The opium trade involved the importation of opium from foreign countries, mainly India, to China. The British East India Company was heavily involved in this trade.
- Portugal's Role: Portugal played a significant role in introducing opium into China. Portuguese traders were among the first Europeans to establish trade relations with China in the 16th century.
- Macau: Macau, a region in China, was a Portuguese colony from the 16th century until 1999. During this time, Macau became a major center for the opium trade.
- Opium Wars: The introduction of opium into China eventually led to the Opium Wars. These wars were fought between China and the British Empire, with the involvement of other European powers. The wars resulted in the forced opening of Chinese ports to foreign trade and the ceding of Hong Kong to Britain.
Therefore, the correct answer is D: Portugal.

Explanation:
The cultivation of opium was encouraged by the British in India during the colonial period to meet the growing demand for opium in China. The opium was grown in India and then exported to China in exchange for tea and silk. The farmers were goaded into the cultivation of opium by the following factors:
System of Advances:
The British Government introduced a system of advances to the farmers to encourage them to grow opium. Under this system, the farmers were given advances to grow the crop, and they were required to repay the advances after the harvest. This system of advances made it easy for the farmers to cultivate opium, and they were attracted by the promise of easy money.
Promise of High Prices:
The British government promised the farmers high prices for their opium. This promise of high prices encouraged the farmers to cultivate opium as they could make more money from it than from other crops.
Revenue Concessions:
The British government offered revenue concessions to the farmers who grew opium. These concessions reduced the amount of tax the farmers had to pay on the opium they grew. This made it more profitable for the farmers to grow opium.
The Village Headman:
The village headman also played a role in goading the farmers into the cultivation of opium. The headman was responsible for collecting the opium from the farmers and delivering it to the British government. In return, the headman received a commission from the government, which encouraged him to encourage the farmers to grow more opium.
In conclusion, the system of advances was the primary factor that goaded the Indian farmers into the cultivation of opium. The promise of high prices, revenue concessions, and the role of the village headman were also contributing factors.

Radha Iyer answered |
Reasons for the radical transformation of the landscape by the early 20th century:
- White Americans had moved westward: The westward expansion of white Americans led to significant changes in the landscape. They cleared forests, built settlements, and established agricultural practices, altering the natural environment.
- Local tribes were displaced: The displacement of Native American tribes also contributed to the transformation of the landscape. As white settlers moved into Native American territories, they often forced tribes to relocate, leading to the loss of traditional lands and the disruption of ecosystems.
- Entire landscape was carved into different agricultural belts in the USA: The development of agriculture in the United States resulted in the carving of the landscape into different agricultural belts. Land was cleared for farming, and various crops were grown in specific regions, leading to changes in land use and the overall appearance of the landscape.
Therefore, all of the above reasons - the westward movement of white Americans, the displacement of local tribes, and the carving of the landscape into agricultural belts - contributed to the radical transformation of the landscape by the early 20th century.
