        Hi! I am mack (supposed name), I am  from Ireland. I have come to America. I was a peasant in Ireland. But I had to migrate to America. He main reason behind this was the unemployment  of peasants in Ireland. This occurred due to the import of chapter food items in our country. Thus, we were out berated by the imported food grain and became unemployed. Then I decided to migrate to America, as here peasants were required to work on large farms, and I got employment. In America I live near my employer’s farm. I work in his field and grow crops. In this way I earn my living.

        Discuss (Page 88)

        Q.3 Discuss the importance of language and popular traditions in the creation of national identity.

        (ii) This imbalance led to land remaining uncultivated and unemployment of many men and women in Britain. They began to mirgrate out of Britain.

        (i)  The cattle plague or the rinderpest was a disease spread by the Asian  cattle taken to Africa by its Europea colonizers. The disease infected  the African cattle and within no time the African cattle died in  thousands of number. This destroyed the African economic system  which was based upon cattle and land.

        (i)  The world’s  economic geography changed when the MNCs decided   to relocated production operation to Asian countries.

        (ii) It was done because Asian countries like China offered low wage labour in abundance.

        Q.4  Give two examples from history to show the impact of technology on food availability.

        The history is full of instances that show how the technology has influenced the food availability. For example,

        1. The invention of refrigerated ships made the trade of meat and perishable food items cheaper and the prices of meat declined.

        2. Faster railways, lighter wagons and larger ships helped moved food more cheaply and quickly from faraway farms to final markets .

        Q.5  What is meant by the Bretton Woods Agreement?

        Q.7 Explain the three types of movements or flows within inter-national economic exchange. Find one example of each type of flow which involved India and Indians and write a short account of it. 

        1. The three types of movement or flows within international economic exchange were as under.

        2. Flow of trade or trade in goods such as clothes or wheat.

        3. Flow of labour.

        4. Flow of capital.

        5. Goods, labour and capital were moving around the world.

        6. The countries were actively involved in export and import of goods. This generated the employment opportunities.

        7. Hence, labour force was also on the move from one country to the another, These movements were ultimately dependent and generated the opportunities of capital investment.

        8. Therefore, bankers capitalists invested in plantations, mines and industries not only in their native countries but also in other countries of world.

        9. India and Indians could not remain uninvolved in these flows of movements.

        The following examples prove this:

        1. Flow of trade from India – Indian raw materials like raw cottons, were world famous goods. They were in high demand in Britain . Therefore , Indian participated in the flow of trade.

        2. Flow of labour From India – After the discovery of Americas, European powers, especially Britain though of cultivating vast land resources. They required labour to till the land. Once again Indians were involved. Under the system of indentured labour, Indians were migrated to the new found lands on contract basis.

        3. Flow of capital from India – Indian bankers organized an indigenous corporate system. They invested money not only in India but also in Africa. Other European colonies, and beyond some of the Indian capitalists were shikaripuri Shroffs, Nattu Kottai Chettiars and Hyderabadi Sindhi traders.

        Q.8  Explain the causes of Great Depression.

        The great Depression began around 1929 and lasted till 1930. It was the period between the two world wars.

        1. After the first world War, US emerged as international debtor. Its economy bommed due to mass production and consumption and capital flow in and outside US. But this boom did not last for long.

        2. As soon as the boom ended the prices of agricultural products declined, peasants incurred losses and debts. The whole banking system of US fall down on its kness.

        3. The international economy, which largely depended upon the money from US, also got highly disturbed and thus began the great economic depression all over the world.

        4. Therefore , agricultural over- production and withdrawal of US investments from wold market led to the Great Depression.

        Q.9 Explain what is referred to as the G-77 countries. In what ways can G-77 be seen as a reaction to the activities of the Bretton Woods twins?

        1. G-77 is a group of developing countries who work together to achieve new International Economic order (NIEO).

        2. The unsatisfactory services of IMF and the world Bank, (the Bretton Woods twins) to the newly independent countries led to the emergence of G-77.

        3. After their independence poor countries were offered financial aid by the Bretton Woods twins.

        4. But at the same time, their natural resources were also controlled by “twins” in the counter of investments made.

        5. Thus the developing countries who wished to develop on the lines of developed industrial countries, did not find it easy to cope up with conditions of “twins”.

        Hence, there occurred a reaction and G-77 came into existence.

        Q.10 Find out more about gold and diamond mining in South Africa in the nineteenth century. Who controlled the gold and diamond companies? Who were the miners and what were their lives like?

        1. During the 19th century in South Africa, gold was discovered in Johannesburg and diamonds in Kimberly. Soon Europan migrants began mining of gold and diamonds in South Africa, when from 1886 onwards, mining business became highly profitable. This can be attested by the data that South Africa was producing world’s 27% gold from 1886 to 1914 (the year of First World War).

        2. Cecil Rhodes was the first European to create a gold and diamond mining monopoly buying up land and forming De Beers, today World’s largest diamond producing company.

        3. Mining company were controlled by Europeans and Americans , as many of white settlers migrated to South Africa ; with desire of making huge profits in the mining industry. They also introduced technological advances and deep mining techniques so that profits could be increased.

        4. The workers on the mining fields were African natives, and most of them igrated to South Africa, from other parts and colonial states of African continents.

        The mining worker lived a miserable life. For example :

        1. They were paid ten times lower wages than the white workmen.

        2. Apartheid (racism) : The discovery of gold and diamonds in Sourthern Africa led to apartheid (racism) from as early as 1889.

        3. In 1889 chamber of mines was formed by European industrial nations mainly to reduce African wages. This was to increase the profitability of mines. This increased racial attack on African blacks, as they were a dissatisfied lot and lives miserable lives.
