Answer 2

Answer:

"In 17th and 18th century merchants from the towns in Europe began moving to countryside" because :

• With the expansion of world trade and acquisition of colonies in different parts of the world, the demand for goods began growing. But merchants could not expand production within towns.
• This was because here urban craft and trade guilds were powerful.
• These were associations of producers that trained craftspeople, maintained control over production, regulated competitions and prices, and restricted the entry of new people into the trade.
• Rulers granted different giulds the monopoly right to produce and trade in specific products.
• It was difficult to set up business in towns. So they turned to country side.
