<span>The gold standard is a monetary system where a country's currency or paper money has a value directly linked to gold.</span><span><span>The
farmers opposed the gold standard because in order to live on their
farms, they needed to take out a mortgage on them because they couldn't
pay the entire fee by themselves. Thus, farmers were in debt, and a gold
AND silver standard would help them by increasing the amount of
currency in circulation. Inflation would help debtors because more
currency would be produced, therefore the value of each currency would
decrease and the value of their debts would similarly decrease, making
it easier to pay off. The amount of debt would stay the same, but they
would be getting higher wages because of inflation. The wealthy and
eastern industrial workers supported a gold standard because inflation
would not help them. The wealthy had savings accounts and such, and
inflation would lessen the value of their savings. Similarly, the
industrial workers might also have a small savings account, but would
not have a mortgage on a farm like the westerners (they would live in
tenement buildings), so inflation would not have a positive effect on
them either. </span> </span>
The modern day country of India gained its independence mostly in a peaceful manner. Led by Gandhi, the people of India were getting out on protests constantly for a prolonged period of time. Great Britain, weakened from the wars, saw that it will not be able to control this massive country and massive population, so a decision was made that an independence is granted to India. The way in which the independence came did not came to a very positive reaction, the reason being that the historic territory was divided into three separate countries, largely based on religion, with Pakistan and Bangladesh being the two separated territories. The joy of freedom was quickly replaced by numerous conflicts based mostly on religion, with the Hindu and Muslim populations clashing with each other, and millions of people suffering because of it.
