Comparing United Kingdom In The 19th Century And US

After winning the French and Indian war, Great Britain’s economy entered economic downturn, causing great strain on the ruling power.

In the views of the politicians, the economy was not one of a ‘Golden Age’. As the British Cabinet Paper wrote, ‘It is clear that ever since the end of the war we have tried to do too much…we have only rarely been free from danger of economic crisis’. This illustrates the fact that although the economy was not falling apart, it was not stable and not prosperous. There was also a lack of a plan to deal with the economy; the government merely adjusted the system as it went along, which sometimes resulted in high rises of inflation or sudden consumer booms that did not correlate with its ability to pay for them – causing a deficit.

Following the war of 1812, there were many economic issues present in the United states. These problems

Many industries were destroyed during the war, and the British dumbing of stockpiled goods into the market further hurt US businesses. In 1800, the United States was importing 8.4% worth of its GNP, which was much lower than the 15-20% it had from 1790-1800. The United States was becoming much more self-sufficient at this time, however, the war stopped that progress. This is seen as in 1810, the United States imported approximately 5.6% of its GNP, and exported approximately 4.9% GNP. Compare that to 1820, where 6.3% of GNP is exported, but 8.0% of GNP is imported.

Throughout the passage of human life, the desire to expand and live beyond the boundary of a civilization’s borders is an incredibly potent factor of the migration of human kind. The drive of experiencing the unknown has served as a catalyst for the human races movement and evolution since the dawn of mankind. However, with every extension or relocation of civilization comes the establishment of differing settlement structures and beliefs. A prime example of this varying factor is epitomized by the English colonies founded in the New World such as Virginia, part of the Chesapeake region, and Massachusetts, part of the New England region. While being similar in the sense of both being English colonies,

Roberts ' book explains how many U.S. ties with Britain ultimately devastated the economy. For two decades following The Panic of 1837 America leaned toward a democratic uprising, however, many questioned whether or not the nation could be independent on foreign trade and investment policies. Finances seemingly were unbalanced and there appeared to be no real solution. The economy swiftly declined and officials continued to struggle with paying their dues. This ultimately sparked numerous violent riots around the nation in which government officials did not intervene only increasing the serious rebellion amongst the American population. The author, Alasdair Roberts, explicitly examines how the country responded to the

The Second World War had a significant impact on the United States Economy. Before the war, the United States was in depression caused by the crash of the stock market in 1929 and other factors. Those factors including the fall of the gold standard and the fall of many banks. Although the Second World War was a very bloody war it helped the United States overcome many obstacles that came with the depression. Obstacles that included poverty high, unemployment rate family violence and mental health rose. The Second World War helped the depression by lowering unemployment, wartime spending, increasing the gross

Majed Shabsigh Mrs. Rader World History 12/25/14 How did the American Revolution affect the British economy? Winning the battles of the American Revolution was the key step, probably the most important step, in declaring freedom from Britain. Declaring freedom from Britain had multiple affects on both Britain and the new America. However, the struggles didn't end there.

The Inter War Years Only 20 years after the peace treaties were signed that officially brought The First World War to an end, the world was again at war. Across most of the world, the decade after ‘the war to end all wars’, was a time of prosperity and wealth. In the United States the “Roaring Twenties” were a period of fast growth of wealth. However people’s hopes came crashing down when the world economy collapsed in 1929 which started The Great Depression. There was mass unemployment and misery in the 1930’s, when most companies collapsed, leaving many without a source of income.

The biggest difference between Britain and the United States is the laws that each country holds. The cultural aspects of each country are very dissimilar which has led to a vast different in laws. Also because neither countries are near each other and hold different attitudes, it is difficult to agree to the same things and have the same ideas and beliefs towards legislation. Also not only are the laws different in the US and UK, but they are also varied depending on which state you are from. This is because of back when the United States was a group of British colonies, and all colonists felt loyalty towards their individual colony and didn’t want to merge into one.

The United Kingdom finished World War I a few years prior to the Great Depression, and was a big factor in the length of the depression. The reason why the U.K’s depression’s length was so long was because of the debt that the European countries had grossed during World War I. This debt that had to be paid, left the Europeans in a sticky situation, as they tried to rebuild their economy to what it once was. The effect of this debt and other economic problems had caused the unemployment rate to accelerate from one million to 2.5 million unemployed UK citizens, some cities even reached rates from as high as 70%. When other countries received the hit from the depression, Britain couldn’t export nearly as much as they used to. This was a chain reaction that caused the world to be effected as a whole, and what caused Britain to get hit so strongly. Great Britain didn’t use their Government revenue expansion very strongly to an extent, however later on did increase the
