Answer:
The fall of all communist countries
Explanation:
The Berlin Wall was a physical border set in the city of Berlin which was dividing the communist and democratic part of it. The people were not able to communicate, move between the two sides, or even see each other. The wall was set by the Soviets, and it represented very well how their politics was. When this wall finally was taken down after three decades, it meant that Germany was united again, and that the communism came to an end in the country. The symbolism of the fall of the Berlin Wall though is much wider, and it not only symbolizes the end of communism in Germany, but across most of the world, as it coincided with the period when the Soviet Union was falling apart and numerous countries got independent, free to make their own decisions, and become democratic societies.
The owner was John Jacob Astor.
Britain spent a huge amount of money fighting the Revolutionary War, increasing national debt hugely and creating a yearly interest of nearly ten million pounds. Taxes had to be raised as a result. The trade which Britain relied on for wealth was severely interrupted, with imports and exports experiencing large drops and the recession which followed caused stock and land prices to plummet. Trade was also affected by naval attacks from Britain’s enemies, and thousands of merchant ships were captured.
On the other hand, wartime industry such as the naval suppliers or the elements of the textile industry which made uniforms experienced a boost, and unemployment fell as Britain struggled to find enough men for the army, a situation which would cause them to hire German soldiers. British ‘privateers’ experienced as much success preying on enemy merchant ships as almost any of their opponents.
The effects on trade were also short term, as British trade with the new USA rose to the same levels as trade with them in colonial form by 1785, and by 1792 trade between Britain and Europe had doubled. Additionally, while Britain gained an even larger national debt, they were in a position to live with it and there were no financially motivated rebellions like those of France.
Indeed, Britain was able to support several armies during the Napoleonic wars (and even field its own instead of just paying for other peoples). It's been said that Britain was even right to lose the war because of the economic benefits.
