This has led to increasing mobility of goods and people. Countries have built efficient and integrated transportation infrastructure such as airports, seaports, railways and highways too facilitate this movement. The efficient transport network worldwide has made it possible for goods to be moved around the world easily. At the same time, it has also meant that people can travel easily. For example, a parcel from overseas can reach Singapore by courier service within a few days.
It was easier and quicker to be able to talk to other people or meet up with family. So overall new railroads did really help people socially. The next reason why the developments in transportation brought about social and economic change in the United States was because of all the different types of transportation. One of the new types of transportation throughout this time period were the steamboats invented by Robert Fulton. The steamboats really helped with trading goods with other countries.
FedEx was also more innovative and had better operation. • FedEx increase in market value is because in efficient market, all investors have access to information and in this case they believe that FedEx, due to its current market share and operations in China and being an innovative and entrepreneurial company, it has a better chance of benefitting from this agreement. 2. Why didn’t UPS create overnight delivery? How did FedEx get away with successfully entering this market?
Human species developed techniques and organized their societies to live more comfortably and stably. And these societies have interacted with one another, using routes in various ways to promote their standard of lives in more efficiently. The usage of these routes varied from trade to war, and trans-Saharan caravan routes is not an exception. Between about 300B.C.E to 100 C.E, Nubian kingdom and Moroë used trans-Saharan caravan routes to trade with India, Arabia and Mediterranean countries. Mineral wealth flowed out of Moroë and luxury goods in Arabia and India flowed in When Roman Empire thrived, trans-Saharan route revived as one of the most important trading routes connecting Africa and Eurasia.
It also had a stable government, which allowed for the people to begin industrializing in the first place, harbors for trade, a very large population resulting in a very large workforce, and many water ways throughout the country to transport materials and products as well as to use for water power at mills. There are several reasons why the Industrial revolution started in the first place. One reason being that there was widespread resistance to disease in Europe as well as a reliable food supply, allowing for steady population growth, which in return created more demand for products, which in turn resulted in new ways of producing products more efficiently in response to demand. As a result of Industrialization, a new economic philosophy arose. Capitalism called for the lack of government intervention in the economy.
During the years between 650 an 1750 AD, the Indian Ocean saw changes and continuities in commerce through new methods of transportation, new commodities, and new European involvement. Innovation in transportation, new and unexpected commodities, and the Europeans spurned change in commerce in the Indian Ocean region from 650 to 1750 AD. Change in commerce in the Indian Ocean began with the invention of the Dhow. An Arab invention, Dhows are ships whose sails can maximize monsoon winds that are often found in the Indian Ocean. This enabled trade that region to occur faster than ever before.
This opened up trade routes between Asia and Europe with most of the goods originating or passing through Southeast Asia. Along with the exchange routes came more people and ideas into Southeast Asia and ultimately increased the cultural and economical development. (Upshur, 2002) The second contributing factor was the trade policy of Southern Sung China. The Chinese government needed revenue to support their efforts to please the northern invaders. For this reason the Chinese government encouraged exporting of porcelain and other goods to Southeast Asia.
Coastal areas have also the tendency to have a high population density. The reason for this is that Natural resources are far more common than in continental areas ports for trade and transport also result in high population densities: Kobe bay Japan. Major locations in coastal areas are like Mumbai and the east coast of China. Fertile areas also include high population densities, such as the Ganges valley and the Nile Delta. The Ganges valley also attracts many people because of religious & cultural reasons, and large water supplies.
Los Angeles and London are both good examples of this process which began in the 1900’s and is still occurring today. In the early 20th century, The Pacific Electric Railway was built in LA which led to the spread of the population from the central business district area towards the outskirts and suburbs. People were able to move more efficiently, quickly and cost effectively. This effect was intensified by the ascendance of the automobile with the Model T. It helped fill in the gaps between these commuter towns with the lower-density settlements. People had a greater choice of where to live due to the convenience brought about by these improvements in transport.
This meant faster transport and with the invention of the factories economic growth as well. As the economy grew then we capitalised, and as we invested in different things insurance was invented and so financial institutions were formed. Being a small island we had excellent communications so we can get an army together quickly and efficiently so this proved helpful in succeeding in military campaigns, as we were a powerful land force as well as a powerful naval force, such as the battle of
