Western Europe is more developed than Eastern Europe because ____.
Alla [95]

Western Europe is more developed than Eastern Europe because <u>the market economy of Western Europe provides an economic advantage</u>

Explanation:

Stark differences persist between the western and eastern part of Europe. While western Europe was under the influence of Capitalism mode of production (led by the US and Great Britain), the eastern part was led by the erstwhile USSR following socialist mode of production.

Under the market economy, open competition and adaptive hand-holding by the US, western European countries prospered by leaps and bound. Marshall plan prepared by the US helped in post-war reconstruction of western Europe. On the other hand, eastern countries fell prey to the despotic rule of dictators, political instability and socialisation of assets. There were no such private assets and the important assets were nationalised. In the long run, the socialistic model of the market could not stand up to capitalism and fell in 1991 when the USSR disintegrated.

The Northeast of the United States is the most developed and most densely populated region of the country. This regions is by far the smallest of the five major regions of the United States. The Northeast region borders Canada on its north, the Atlantic Ocean on its east, the Southeast region on its south, and the Great Lakes area from the Midwest region in its west.

The climate in this part of the country is known for its fresh and pleasant summers. There is solid amount of precipitation throughout the year. The winters tend to be very cold and harsh, with temperatures often going below -30 C degrees, and intense snowfall being a common occurrence.

As mentioned, this region is very densely populated. The main reason for this is that it is the economic center of the United States, so there are large urban areas in it, and the landscape is dominated by settlements. Some of the largest cities in the Northeast are new York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Buffalo.

There are also numerous student towns in the area, mostly on places further away from the large urban areas. Millions of students visit these universities each year, and they are predominantly with very high reputation.
