During the beginning of the 18th century, the number of people in Europe who lived in towns was approximately 15%. However, Western countries had a greater percentage of the population who lived in these settlements. For instance, 40% of people lived in towns in Great Britain in comparison to only the only 4% who live in towns in Russia.
This was due to the fact that western countries had a greater population density. Regarding peasantry, Russian peasants had much greater mobility than western European peasants. Due to the great extensions of land in Russia, they were often relocated to farm new lands and had far fewer benefits and freedoms in comparison to their Western European counterparts.
Western European peasants were treated as part of the estate and had to be sold together with it. Regarding this matter, Russian peasants were similar to slaves, as they could be sold separately from their estate.
The Meiji Restoration in Japan laid the groundwork for massive economic development, industrialization, and the building of the great power that Japan would become in the 20th and 21st centuries. The Meiji Restoration led to the imposition of economic and development policies that allowed for the expansion and modernization of the Japanese economy allowing for enormous development.
I think the answer is B not shure though.....
I'd say A. The other ones don't show the effect of the depression.
The answer is C. "Suffrage."
Suffrage refers to the right to vote and based on the details from the text we can see that the author is referring to voting. The text says, "We give to you the ballot, as your undisputed right as an American citizen." This shows that the author was in favour of women's suffrage.
