Question 41 • FL-2109310-World History
Answer:
The 19th-century world economy was transformed by industrialisation. New machines and factories raised output, while advances in transportation enabled goods and raw materials to travel more widely and more rapidly, stimulating global trade. This transformation is validated in the charts, as they represent a strong trajectory over the years; their comparison across categories illustrates that economic development has not occurred uniformly. Those who industrialized became wealthy, and powerful; much of the rest of the world ended up providing raw materials or serving as markets for manufactured goods.
