What roles did great Britain's colonies play in causing that Industrial Revolution

History
1 answer:
Margaret [11]3 years ago
5 0
The economic value of having colonies in the first place was for 3 main reasons

1) attain cheap labour from the native peoples
2) acquire cheap raw materials to bring to the homeland (Europe)
3) open up new markets to trade with

the first two were vital in Britains industrial revolution. Without cheap raw materials, and cheap labourers, the factories and refineries in Britain would have costed far more to maintain and keep supplied. This, in turn, would have slowed down production considerably. There is no doubt in my mind that the industrial revolution would still have taken place in Britain with or without the colonies, but WITH the colonies the process was sped up considerably.

Overall, cheap labour and raw materials attained through Britains colonial interests sped up the industrialisation of the UK.

(MC)What was the result of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) meeting in 1993 during the Clinton administration?
Delicious77 [7]

The result of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) meeting in 1993 during the Clinton administration was the creation of the World Trade Organization (WTO).

The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) is a legal agreement between many countries, whose purpose was to foster international trade by reducing or eliminating trade barriers such as tariffs or quotas.

GATT was signed by 23 nations in Geneva on 30 October 1947, and took effect on 1 January 1948. It remained in effect until 123 nations in Marrakesh on 14 April 1994, signed the Uruguay Round Agreements, which created the World Trade Organization (WTO) on 1 January 1995. The WTO is a successor to GATT.

How did these invasions contribute to the fall of the Roman Empire
notsponge [240]

Answer:

The most straightforward theory for Western Rome’s collapse pins the fall on a string of military losses sustained against outside forces. Rome had tangled with Germanic tribes for centuries, but by the 300s “barbarian” groups like the Goths had encroached beyond the Empire’s borders. The Romans weathered a Germanic uprising in the late fourth century, but in 410 the Visigoth King Alaric successfully sacked the city of Rome. The Empire spent the next several decades under constant threat before “the Eternal City” was raided again in 455, this time by the Vandals. Finally, in 476, the Germanic leader Odoacer staged a revolt and deposed the Emperor Romulus Augustulus. From then on, no Roman emperor would ever again rule from a post in Italy, leading many to cite 476 as the year the Western Empire suffered its deathblow.
