Answer:
Agricultural Adjustment Act
Explanation:
Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA) of 1933 was first enacted by President Franklin Roosevelt and it was designed to correct the imbalance. Farmers who agreed to limit production would receive “parity” payments to balance prices between farm and nonfarm products, based on prewar income levels.
The Agricultural Adjustment Administration was created to implement the law’s goals which were limiting crop production, reducing stock numbers, and refinancing mortgages with terms more favorable to struggling farmers, and it was initially headed by George Peek – a man, ironically, not overly enthusiastic about the New Deal. Farmers were paid to destroy crops and livestock, which led to depressing scenes of fields plowed under, corn burned as fuel and piglets slaughtered. Nevertheless, many of the farm products removed from economic circulation were utilized in productive ways. For example: “The pork products were distributed to unemployed families…Other food products purchased for surplus removal and distribution in relief channels included butter, cheese, and flour”
Answer:
Industrial Production, Agricultural Production, Iron Smelting, Coal Extraction, The Railways, Steam Power
Explanation:
People like Abraham Darby found a successful way of extracting iron from rocks by using process involving coal. This massively increased the production of iron, which could then be used to produce steam engines, agricultural and industrial machinery, railways and bridges. (→ Industrial Production, Agricultural Production, the Railways & Steam Power) People like Humphrey Davy invented a new type of safely lamp which enabled coal miners to work longer hours in deeper pits without fear of explosions. This led to an increase in the production of coal, which was needed to power steam machines and for smelting iron. (→ Industrial Production, Iron Smelting & Steam Power) People like Isambard Kingdom Brunel improved the transport network immensely by building railways and bridges for the new steam trains. This meant that fuel and people could be moved into the new industrial factories and goods could be carried away. (→ Industrial Production & Steam Power)People like James Watt produced effective steam engines powered by coal that made industrial and agricultural machines run more quickly and which led to the development of steam trains. (→ Industrial Production, Agricultural Production & The Railways)
The most important result was that Japanese was now seen as a world power and not just another Asian country that would lose to Europeans. It was the first time an Asian country won, and it established that the far East was now an important place to keep an eye on and not to mess with since they managed to beat Russians.
