Countries that had a large manufactoring base
- C.
Countries that depend on the export of only one product
- D.
Countries that had large government-run industries
Correct Answer
C. Countries that depend on the export of only one productExplanation
During the Great Depression, countries that depended on the export of only one product were most harmed. This is because their economies were heavily reliant on the demand and prices of that specific product. If the demand for that product decreased or the prices dropped significantly, these countries would have suffered greatly as they had limited diversification in their exports. This lack of economic diversity made them more vulnerable to the effects of the global economic downturn.Rate this question:
