How did protective tariffs such as hawley-Smoot affect the cycle of depression shown in the diagram

History

Andrei [34K]3 years ago

Without you providing us with the diagram, I can still offer you some thought about the effect of the Smoot-Hawley Act and protective tariffs.  Sponsored by Senator Reed Smoot and Congressman Willis Hawley, the intent of their tariff act was to protect American jobs during the economic crisis of the Depression. However, when the US imposed protective tariffs, other nations retaliated with tariffs of their own.  Thus American exports and imports were cut in half and the Depression grew worse, not better.

We should note this too:  While economists agree that Smoot-Hawley worsened the Depression, how large of a factor it was is a matter that economists debate.  Some say the tariffs played a minor role compared to other aggravating factors of the Depression.  However, the Foundation for Economic Education asserts that the economists who want to minimize the role of the Tariff Act are wrong to do so.  Underestimating the negative impact of protective tariffs can be very dangerous economically -- then and now.

How would the fall of the Eastern Roman Empire benefit traders in Africa?
Mila [183]

Answer:

Traders were not bound to trade with the Byzantine Empire.

Explanation:

During the rule of Justinian, the Empire main goal was to restore the glory of the Roman Empire. Byzantine Empire started taking territories in the west, which once were under the Roman Empire. Justinian first sent troops to North Africa to reclaim Roman lands there. Trade merchants from around the world travelled to the empire's capital Constantinople. Goods from the Middle East, Africa, India, and China transported.

With the rise of the Muslim Empire, northern Africa came under their control. In 711, the Umayyad caliphate invaded Europe, and by 720 Spain and Portugal were under Muslim rule. Traders focused on selling their trade in these regions as the Byzantine Empire began to crumble as its neighbouring empires began to grow stronger.
