History

The Suez and Panama canals are two of the most important canals in the world. They are crucial for the trade and travel through the sea, as they cut the sea routes by thousands of kilometers, which makes it much more easy and cheaper to use them. The Suez Canal connects the Mediterranean with the Indian Ocean, thus avoiding to circle around Africa, while the Panama Canal connects the Atlantic and the Pacific, thus avoiding to circle around South America. The one that controls these canals will manage to always get very large wealth because everyone will opt to use them as it much easier, cheaper, safer, and quicker, but in order to use it, everyone needs to pay certain tax. Those taxes are bringing in constant profit from doing pretty much nothing for the countries that control these canals. Also, it brings in a lot of power, as they can block the access of any country to it if they want, thus giving them big power on the global economic scene.

What was Europe’s response to the frivolity of the roaring twenties
Reptile [31]

Answer:

The process of Urbanization, which was already underway in most countries before the First World War, gathered pace during the 1920s. This was, in part, linked to economics. Many features of the "Modern Metropolis" were visible before the First World War. Electricity, urban transport networks including underground railways, large department stores and mass entertainment venues, like music halls, were visible in cities such as London, Paris and Berlin. However, after the war, electricity supply was expanded, and rationalized. Music halls were joined and subsequently replace by cinemas, dance halls and jazz clubs, existing urban transport networks were extended and new ones built to service growing numbers of commuters living in emerging suburbs. New forms of transport, such as cars, raised the feel of city life, and increased white-collar employment numbers. This also swelled the ranks of the middle class and fuelled new levels and forms of consumerism.
