About The Making of a Global World

This quiz covers Chapter 3 of CBSE Class 10 History (India and the Contemporary World II), The Making of a Global World.

It opens with the pre-modern world, including the Silk Routes, the travel of foods like noodles and the potato across continents, and the hardship that pushed many Europeans to migrate in the 19th century.

It then covers the nineteenth-century global economy -- the flow of trade, labour, and capital, the effect of Britain's Corn Laws, and the indentured labour migration of Indians and Chinese workers as "girmitiyas."

It moves on to the decline of Indian cotton textiles under colonial trade policy, and the rinderpest cattle plague that devastated African pastoralist economies.

It covers the First World War's economic impact, Britain's post-war troubles, and Henry Ford's assembly line and the rise of mass production in the United States.

It then covers the Great Depression of the 1930s, including its effect on Indian peasants and exports, and the rebuilding of the world economy after the Second World War through the Bretton Woods Conference, the IMF, and the World Bank.

It closes with decolonisation, the developing world's demand for a New International Economic Order, and the rise of globalisation from the late 20th century onward.

Every question comes with a clear, simple explanation, so incorrect answers become as instructive as correct ones, whether you are revising for a school test or a board exam.
