In the 70's there had been e tremendous raise in grain exports to the Soviet Union, resulting in a steady rise in grain prices, which had led to banks readily offering loans at low interest rates and to farmers investing heavily and getting heavily into debt. All this investment however led to overproduction and consequently to a drop in grain prices and then, to a drop in land values.At the same time, interest rates went up, adding to the farmer's costs while revenues went down. On top of that, as a reaction to Russia's invasion of Afganistan the US President instituted a grain embargo to the Soviet Union. That meant that a major market for US grain disappeared overnight. The Russians started buying their grain elsewhere, meaning that even after the embargo was lifted US farmers could not realize anything like their former export volumes or <span>prices.</span>
Answer: Cattle - Europe / Corn - America / Deadly Diseases - Europe / Tomatoes - America / Gold and Silver - Europe.
Explanation:
- Indigenous tribes did not know the livestock that had been domesticated by Europeans in the ancient world. Most of these animals have been a source of nutrition for Europeans for centuries, and for example, the horse has played multiple roles in war, commerce, land cultivation, etc. Bears and moose, on the other hand, were not part of the European table anyway. Of the more significant animals that became part of the European table and came from America is turkey.
- The corn is native to America. Even if Europeans domesticated several plant species, corn was unknown to the conquerors. Shortly after the discovery of the new continent, this variety will become more intensively exported to Europe and become part of the diet of both humans and animals. Many of the varieties that came from America to Europe seemed ridiculous to European nations, as was the case with corn.
- Deadly diseases were brought to America on colonial ships. Europe was much more populated than America during that period. Also, urbanization has taken a lot of momentum in Europe, so big cities are emerging. However, poor sewage systems and generally, poor hygiene have led to various diseases. These deadly diseases will also spread to the Native American population. Many tribes will decimate it.
- Tomato is a plant originating in South America. In Europe, like some other species, until the discovery of America, it was unknown. Tomatoes are mostly grown in warm places. Arriving in Europe, this plant has gained considerable popularity.
- Mining has come from Europe to America. Indigenous tribes did not thus exploit natural resources. On the other hand, European man has always known the value of precious metals since ancient times. With the discovery of a new continent, America was found to be extremely rich in these metals, so more intensive exploration of minerals and the enrichment of colonizers began at the expense of America.
