Answer:
Answer: (a) The British government's decision to abolish the Corn Laws lead to the inflow of cheaper agricultural crops from America and Australia. British agriculture was unable to compete with imports.
Many English farmers left their profession and migrated to towns and cities. Some went overseas. This indirectly led to global agriculture and rapid urbanization, a prerequisite of industrial growth. Faster industrial growth in Britain also led to higher incomes, and therefore more foo imports. In Eastern Europe, Russia, America and Australia-lands were cleared and food production expanded to meet the British demand.
(b) Rinderpest was devastating cattle disease which was carried by infected cattle from British Asia to Eastern Africa in 1890s. It spread in Africa like a wild forest fire. The coming of rinderpest to Africa caused a loss of livelihood and the local economy for countless Africans. Using this situation to their advantage, colonizing nations conquered and subdued Africa by monopolizing scarce cattle resources to force Africans into the labour market to work for a wage.
(c) Most of the victims of world war belonged to young generations of working men. As a result, it reduced the able-bodied workforce in Europe, thereby reducing household income.
Entire societies were reorganised for war as men went to battle, women stepped in to undertake jobs that earlier only men were expected to do.
The role of women increased and led to a demand for more equality of status. It made the feminist movement stronger. Women started working alongside men in every field. Women and youngsters became more independent and free with long-term effects.
