1 answer:

3 0

It was a treaty between Portugal and Spain in 1494 in which they agreed to divide up all the land in the Americas between the two of them, no matter who was already living there. (I know, really stupid!) They divided the New World by drawing a line in the Atlantic Ocean, All lands east of that line were claimed by Portugal. All lands west of that line were claimed by Spain.

This is why most Latin American nations are Spanish-speaking countries, for instance, but Portuguese is the leading official language in Brazil, because Portugal took Brazil and Spain took most of the other nations.

What were the factors that transformed the american economy from agrarian to industrial?

Nata [24]

Explanation:

Agriculture to Industry

Industrialization is defined by the movement from primarily agrarian labor toward urbanized, mass-producing industrial labor. This transformation corresponds with rising marginal productivity and rising real wages, albeit not consistently or equally.

According to the 1790 U.S. Census, more than 90% of all American laborers worked in farming. The productivity—and corresponding real wages—of farm labor was very low. Factory jobs tended to offer wage rates that were several times higher than farm rates. Workers eagerly moved from low-paying, hard labor in the sun to relatively high-paying, hard labor in industrial factories.

By 1890, the number of non-farm workers had overtaken the number of farmers in the U.S. This trend continued into the 20th century; farmers made up just 2.6% of the U.S. labor force in 1990.
