Question

Give one short-term consequence and one long-term consequence that resulted from 3rd world countries gaining their independence. Consider how their economies might have changed or evolved without the control of the "mother country". Explain your reasoning for why it's a short or long-term consequence.

Answer 1

A short term consequence was poverty and a long term consequence is segregation. The economies are rising after nearly decades of poverty. This might be long term or short term if the economies keep growing.
