The Ganges River basin covers 419,300 square miles and empties into the Bay of Bengal (Lodrick).

Between 1870 and 1914, America endured a phase of rapid industrialization. This time period became known as ¨The Second Industrial Revolution.” During this revolution railroads expanded due to the more industrialized production of steel, and many new inventions were introduced to the world. Electricity replaced the use of coal as an energy source, and technology became much more advanced. Some examples of these technological systems were telegraph lines, water supply, and sewage systems. However
the relationship between the public and private sphere in terms of government intervention in people’s lives, the role of private sector charity, and the discretionary power associated with quarantines. Leading up to the Cholera epidemics the industrialization of Canadian cities such as Montreal, Quebec City, and Toronto, accelerated urbanization as rural living Canadians and immigrants congregated in the cities looking for the opportunity of a better life. Although urbanization did bring prosperity
is one of the best examples of this as it is one of the world’s busiest and most industrialized cities. The landscape and urban setting of New York can be seen throughout the film. New York was of course not the only symbol for “second-stage industrialization.” If we take a look at the literal West and not just a symbol of it, Limerick alludes to the growth of Los Angeles in the twentieth century and how quickly it urbanized.

Thirdly, investment-led growth supplanted consumption-led growth and became a main drive force for the economic development. To be mentioned, mainland of China developed economy by promoting export as well as Taiwan and Indonesia did.

Banks in China have been state-owned throughout the time, but since 1993 the government started a commercialization process of banks in which process the Central Bank of China has become an independent player (Baek 2005). As in the case of Malaysia, China also used the advantage of backwardness in order to promote technological and industrial upgrading. The term backwardness, shaped by Alexander Gerschenkron, points out the benefit of a country that economically lags behind to learn from developed
Great Britain and Japan are very similar in their industrial and imperialistic values,though they are also completely different. A lot of these values are effected by their geologic location and the limitations within the country. Japan and Great Britain share a lot of similar qualities such as: they are both island nations, they both have strong navies, and they both rely on trade with other country's for a portion of their income.

Joseph Stalin ruled the Soviet Union as a virtual dictator between 1928 and 1954. During the first ten years of his rule Stalin introduced dramatic change to the Soviet Union in the areas of industrialisation, agriculture, culture and education. While there were some benefits for both the nation and the people with respect to the consequences of his policies on industrialisation and education, the impact of his policies regarding agriculture, and culture was overwhelmingly damaging to the Russian
