Why did many farmers face economic difficulties during the 1920s?

Farmers faced economic difficulties during the 1920s because of the new technology for one. New machines were created to help make farming easier and it did well at that if you were to ask me.

Another reason was because of prices of items such as grain collapsed in Britain. That's caused by the first reason of new technology. Many farmers and families where affected in a bad way by this. Due to that, many farmers had to give up or just lose their homes/land. You can assume that since prices fell, they did not receive the same amount of amount they previously did leaving them broke.

A third difficulty was caused by over producing. For example, when you go to Walmart and apples are on sale- that's because there was an over production. That leaves them with more apples and them trying to sell them for cheap to get rid of them.

All three of these helped to cause farmers economic difficulties. Now, remember later on in 1929, America had the Great Depression start. I guess you can throw that on the list as well. Since people began losing jobs many were left with little to no money. That leads to the problem people just couldn't afford farm goods such as corn, grain, and wheat.

I hope this helps!!

Choose EITHER Buddhism OR Confucianism and describe its origin, major principles, and how it affected existing laws, social prac

g100num [7]

Buddhism Originated in India, where Gautama Buddha gained his Enlightement under a tree.

Their major principles was to always speak Truth, never harm any creature, try to help others.

<span>In the US it is unlikely that Buddhism alone had any direct influence on laws, but because many of it's teachings about living a moral life i.e. not killing, stealing, etc. are the same as other more dominant religions it could be said that religious convictions (Buddhist ones included) in general have influenced lawmakers in making decisions.

Buddhism also affected other societies as many Hindu followers who were from lower casts joined it immidiately due to discrimination in their own religion.

Hope this helps!
