Debolina Ahuja answered |
Shortages in Consumer Goods in the West Region
The West region of the country experienced shortages in all consumer goods during the early 20th century. The reasons behind this shortage are as follows:
1. Limited manufacturing capabilities: The West region had limited manufacturing capabilities, which made it difficult to produce enough consumer goods to meet the demand.
2. High demand: The West region had a high demand for consumer goods due to its population growth and economic development. However, the limited manufacturing capabilities meant that the supply could not keep up with the demand.
3. Transportation difficulties: The West region had limited transportation infrastructure, which made it difficult to transport goods from other regions.
4. Natural disasters: The West region was prone to natural disasters such as droughts and floods, which could disrupt the production and transportation of consumer goods.
5. Economic depression: The Great Depression of the 1930s had a severe impact on the West region's economy, which further worsened the shortage of consumer goods.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the West region's shortage of consumer goods was due to limited manufacturing capabilities, high demand, transportation difficulties, natural disasters, and economic depression. These factors combined to create a challenging environment for the production and distribution of consumer goods in the region.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
The Western alliance was formalized into an organization, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), which came into existence in April 1949. It was an association of twelve states which declared that armed attack on any one of them in Europe or North America would be regarded as an attack on all of them. Each of these states would be obliged to help the other. The eastern alliance, known as the Warsaw Pact, was led by the Soviet Union. It was created in 1955 and its principal function was to counter NATO’s forces in Europe. International alliances during the Cold War era were determined by the requirements of the superpowers and the calculations of the smaller states. As noted above, Europe became the main arena of conflict between the superpowers. In some cases, the superpowers used their military power to bring countries into their respective alliances. Soviet intervention in east Europe provides an example. The Soviet Union used its influence in eastern Europe, backed by the very large presence of its armies in the countries of the region, to ensure that the eastern half of Europe remained within its sphere of influence. In East and Southeast Asia and in West Asia (Middle East), the United States built an alliance system called — the Southeast Asian Treaty Organization (SEATO) and the Central Treaty Organization 1 (CENTO). The Soviet Union and communist China responded by having close relations with regional countries such as North Vietnam, North Korea and Iraq.Q. When Warsaw Pact was created?- a)1955

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions that follow:Under the Marshall Plan, the Organisation for European Economic Cooperation (OEEC) was established in 1948 to channel aid to the west European states. It became a forum where the western European states began to cooperate on trade and economic issues. The Council of Europe, established in 1949, was another step forward in political cooperation. The process of economic integration of European capitalist countries proceeded step by step (see Time-line of European Integration) leading to the formation of the European Economic Community in 1957. This process acquired a political dimension with the creation of the European Parliament. The collapse of the Soviet bloc put Europe on a fast track and resulted in the establishment of the European Union in 1992. The foundation was thus laid for a common foreign and security policy, cooperation on justice and home affairs, and the creation of a single currency. The European Union has evolved over time from an economic union to an increasingly political one. The EU has started to act more as a nation state. While the attempts to have a Constitution for the EU have failed, it has its own flag, anthem, founding date, and currency. The EU has economic, political and diplomatic, and military influence. The EU is the world’s second biggest economy with a GDP of more than $17 trillion in 2016, next to that of the United States of America. Its currency, the euro, can pose a threat to the dominance of the US dollar. Its share of world trade is much larger than that of the United States allowing it to be more assertive in trade disputes with the US and China. Its economic power gives it influence over its closest neighbours as well as in Asia and Africa.Q. What was the GDP of European Union in 2016?- a)$17.5 trillion

The First Non-Aligned Summit Held in 1961
The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) was founded in 1961, and the first summit was held in Belgrade, Yugoslavia (now Serbia) in the same year. The NAM was established as an alternative to the existing power blocs of the Cold War era, namely the United States-led Western bloc and the Soviet Union-led Eastern bloc.
Background
The idea of non-alignment had been proposed by leaders of newly independent nations who wanted to avoid taking sides in the Cold War. The Bandung Conference, held in Indonesia in 1955, was a precursor to the NAM and brought together leaders of 29 Asian and African countries who were committed to promoting economic and political cooperation among their nations.
Establishment of NAM
The NAM was officially established at the Belgrade Summit in 1961, attended by leaders of 25 countries. The founding members included India's Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, Egypt's President Gamal Abdel Nasser, Yugoslavia's President Josip Broz Tito, and Indonesia's President Sukarno.
Objectives
The NAM's primary objective was to promote peace, security, and cooperation among its member states, while maintaining their independence and sovereignty. The movement aimed to provide a platform for developing countries to voice their concerns and interests in the international arena.
Achievements
Over the years, the NAM has played an important role in promoting disarmament, decolonization, and the rights of developing countries. It has also supported the struggles of oppressed peoples, such as the people of Palestine and South Africa.
Conclusion
The first NAM summit held in 1961 marked the beginning of a new era in international relations, one that sought to promote cooperation among nations based on the principles of non-alignment. The movement has since grown to include 120 member states and remains an important voice for the developing world.

Soumya Bose answered |
The Socialist Revolution in Russia took place in 1917.
Background
- In 1914, Russia had entered World War I on the side of the Allies.
- The war brought about economic hardship, food shortages, and military casualties.
- These issues led to discontent among the Russian people and created an environment ripe for revolution.
February Revolution
- In February 1917, a series of protests and strikes broke out in Petrograd (now St. Petersburg), the capital of Russia.
- The protests were mainly led by workers and soldiers who were demanding better working conditions, higher wages, and an end to the war.
- The protests quickly spread throughout the city and eventually led to the overthrow of Tsar Nicholas II, who had been ruling Russia since 1894.
Provisional Government
- Following the Tsar's abdication, a Provisional Government was established to rule Russia until a new government could be formed.
- However, the Provisional Government was weak and ineffective, and it failed to address the main concerns of the Russian people.
October Revolution
- In October 1917, the Bolshevik Party, led by Vladimir Lenin, seized power from the Provisional Government in a coup d'état known as the October Revolution.
- The Bolsheviks established a new government based on Marxist principles, which became known as the Soviet Union.
- The October Revolution marked the beginning of the socialist revolution in Russia and led to significant changes in the country's political, social, and economic structures.

Simran Rane answered |
Fidel Castro was the president of the small island nation Cuba off the coast of the United States.
Background:
Cuba is an island nation located in the Caribbean Sea, just south of the United States. The country has a rich history, with a vibrant culture and a diverse population. However, Cuba is perhaps best known for its political history, which has been shaped by a number of different leaders over the years. One of the most famous of these leaders was Fidel Castro.
Fidel Castro:
Fidel Castro was born in 1926, and he became involved in politics at a young age. He was a communist, and he believed that the people of Cuba deserved a better life than they were currently living. In 1959, Castro led a revolution that overthrew the Cuban government, and he became the country's prime minister. A few years later, he declared himself president of Cuba.
Castro's presidency was marked by a number of significant events. One of the most famous of these was the Cuban Missile Crisis, which occurred in 1962. During this crisis, the United States and the Soviet Union were on the brink of war over the presence of Soviet missiles in Cuba. Ultimately, the crisis was resolved peacefully, but it was a tense moment in world history.
Castro remained in power in Cuba for many years, and he was known for his communist policies and his outspoken criticism of the United States. He eventually stepped down from power in 2008, and his brother Raul Castro took over as president.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, Fidel Castro was the president of the small island nation Cuba off the coast of the United States. He was a controversial figure who led a revolution and ruled the country for many years. Despite his many critics, he remains an important figure in the history of Cuba and the world.

Ojasvi Mehta answered |
Global poverty refers to low economic growth, low national income and low standard of living of developing or least developed countries. It is a source of insecurity because:
1. Half the world’s population growth occurs in just six countries- India, China, Pakistan, Nigeria, Bangladesh and Indonesia, considered developing countries and even in poorest countries population is expected to triple in next 50 years.
2. Globally, this disparity contributes to the gap between the northern and southern countries of the world.
3. Poverty in the south has also led a large migration to seek better economic opportunities in the north.
4. All these created international political friction as international law and norms make a distinction between migrants and refugees as they do not get ready to accept migrants.

The US domination in military, economic, cultural aspects over other nations to show her supremacy is known as US hegemony. Its constraints are as follows-
1. The institutional architecture of American State itself i.e. they follow the system of division of powers between three organs of government.
2. The open nature of American Society and Political Culture i.e. the American mass media may promote a particular issue on domestic public opinion but never opposed the purposes and methods of government in American Political Culture.
