Multiple changes took place in Southeast Asia as a result of the colonial control. Especially mixed results. One change that occurred was that economics grew vigorously. This happened because it was based on cash crops or goods that would eventually be sold on the world wide market. When before it was not being sold throughout the world. It was probably either sold within the French, who had been active in Southeast Asia since the 17th century. Another change was an improvement on transportation. Roads, harbors, and rail systems all changed. Through communication wise and through the over all transportation. This mostly benefited the European businesses. On the flip side, even though the transportation mostly benefited only Europeans,
Moreover, the document also helps visualize the linking of the regions in which national markets emerged, as well urbanization and industry expansion. To extend on this idea, immigration grew alongside industry expansion. For more land became accessible for sale, which was an advantage to those whom jobs (like those building railroads or working in companies near them) called for them to live near. Although the most convenient way to transport goods was using the railroad, it also worsened the economic hardship that farmers had, for the prices that they had to pay to export their goods, were quite elevated.
Firstly, the transcontinental railroad helped our trade and economy. The western economy was largely based on farming and mining which could have played a large factor in the American economy (Pohn Pei). There was just one problem, there was no way
With the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad, it boosted the US economy, opened rich farmland to people, and reduced shipping and transportation time. Although the railroad was a large investment for the US it made up for
Nevertheless, the railways helped the United States financially and it represented the lift in global and mainland exchange. The exchange of merchandise was presently less demanding and substantially faster than the customary method for secured wagons. Merchandise brought into the United States internationally on the West coast could get to the East Coast quicker and more proficient. This preferred approach for transporting merchandise extended markets and took into account less expensive conveyance, and expanded potential outcomes of new associates and ideas in business. Thus, becoming an expedient and productive approach to transporting goods in the economy.
After the construction of the railroad, more and more cargo was given the opportunity to be shipped between states. Raw materials from the newly found land in the West were able to be quickly shipped to the East. This change helped the states ship over 50 million dollars worth of cargo between each other in the first ten years after construction. The railroad allowed the Eastern states and Western States exchange goods easily and efficiently. Shipping between states was now easier and cheaper than ever before causing commerce to increase rapidly. Farms began to pop up along the railroad. The goods manufactured at these farms were easily distributed because of the transcontinental railroad. Markets were extended because of the railroad construction. More people wanted to start new businesses because they saw opportunities with the railroad and how much easier it was to sell and ship goods. Items that were once scarce and hard to buy were now greatly manufactured and simple to purchase and receive. The transcontinental railroad also expanded the area as to where items can be shipped to. Items were once only able to be sold locally, but since the railroad helped create an outlet for more products, commerce extended majorly. The now larger market made manufactured goods more convenient to buy which increased
Since Washington has the closest port to Asia, Governor Stevens realized this and promoted the idea of trading with Asia through the railroad and Washington (H). This caused a big economic effect on Washington because most of the trade with Asia would go through Washington which creates jobs and is overall better for the economy. Also, “goods produced on farms, ranches and mines could be cheaply shipped to coveted eastern markets… The demand for products on both sides of the continent created new jobs throughout the west” (I). When both markets connect via the railroads, then both economies benefit from the business created from it. Then, refrigerated cars were able to transport beer without it spoiling. This created a need for hops, apples, and other fruits and grains which the Yakima Valley soon fulfilled (O). The need for hops, apples, and other fruits and grains created many jobs which also boosted the economy. Lastly, the West functioned mostly on bartering, and most kids would get handed down clothing, but for the first time ever families ordered from the Sears catalog and their order would come within a few days (Q). Since there was so many people wanting to buy stuff from Sears the demand for items coming on railroads helped the economy
The canal and railroad systems, which grew up in the North, facilitated a much larger volume of trade and manufacturing while reducing costs a great deal. Great cities sprang up throughout the North and Northwest, bolstered by the improvement in transportation.
Have you ever thought about the impact the Transcontinental Railroad had on the United States? The railroad changed the United States economically, politically and socially. It brought more culture in, helped us import and export things, and made cities. All in all the railroad changed the United States economically the most because it helped us import and export things, made products cheaper and brought in more culture which means more jobs and money.
The spread of religion first began through contact with neighbouring countries which gradually expand throughout the years. Buddhism and Islam are one of the most widespread religions across Southeast Asian countries like Burma, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. Trade merchants and imperial support of the religion were major factors in the facilitation and localization of the spread of Buddhism and Islam within Southeast Asia. However, there were also limitations presented which hindered the development of each religion in within their countries as introduction of newer religions and changes to political and imperial power would have affected the progression to become fully localised pre-1800s.
As developing southeastern Asian countries began to be exposed to the varying factors from around the world, one of the most powerful influences was religion. Many belief systems came through southeast Asia, all having varying effects, two of the main being Islam and Buddhism. These two religions have shaped several countries to be as the way that they are today.
The major effects have came in many ways and include sales of the automobile, jobs
The industrial revolution had provided many improvements to the westerns daily lives. The textbook had mentioned that life expectancy and population had both increased during this period. Global trade had an impact on countries like China by increasing standard living by importing western crops to those areas. Europeans health improved by being introduced to nutritious food of different area’s when trading globally. The technology of travel had also improved during this period. Machines such as the steam engine were invented used in boat travel and powering machines. There was a huge increase in railways that improved transportation of goods exponentially. These improvements made to western societies boosted their economic growth. United States and Europe were now at the top producing most of the world’s wealth.
During these years, Europe had an economic explosion, which would be described by some later as an “economic utopia”. Capitalism ran rampant through most every country, ultimately benefiting everyone. The industrial revolution made it easier for better goods to be produced faster and cheaper, allowing for more people to indulge in things previously thought as frivolous. This also meant that extra goods could be exported to the new colonies each country made during the scramble for Africa, which would offset any imports coming in, since they exported more than was imported. Thanks to new technological advances, the world could suddenly participate in a global economy. Not only could goods easily pass between borders, but the amount of capital available increased exponentially. Suddenly, there were endless possibilities of how to increase capital. Foreign stock became accessible, international companies could be formed, and loans could be made on a global scale.
