How did railroads affect the west?

Railroads had a significant impact on the development of the American West. They accelerated westward expansion by providing a faster and more reliable mode of transportation for settlers, goods, and resources. Railroads also played a crucial role in the growth of cities and industries in the West by connecting remote areas to markets, stimulating economic activity, and facilitating the movement of people and goods.


What is meant by eastern and western world?

The east is normally defined as Asian, Arab or Oriental. The west is best described as European, North American and South American. Australia would be considered western while Africa is not considered either. So, you see, it is less about geography and more about culture, history and socioeconomic tendencies.


What did the countries of northern Europe trade in the middle ages?

People traded all sorts of things. Spices from Asia were important, and were traded from East to West. This trade involved a lot of money and is often historically noted. Silk was traded from Asia and the Byzantine Empire to the rest of Europe, as is also noted commonly by historians. But there were other, more mundane types of goods traded. Embroidered cloth was traded from Anglo Saxon England to the south. Dried figs and dates from the South were traded to the North. Wine from France, Italy, and Spain was shipped to Britain. Amber was taken from the Baltic area and traded toward the south. Ocean fish were salted and shipped up rivers far inland. Minerals, such as tin, iron, and silver, were mined, refined and shipped all over. People in the North who wanted rice, as some rich people did, had to get it from the South. These are just examples. The list seems endless.

Yes, the north had more railroad tracks then the South. This is because the North needed the railroads to connect the cities with the other cities and small towns. The North also needed more railroad tracks because the North was in charge of transporting goods that the South grew. Since the North had more railroads then the South, the North had an advantage when the Civil war came along because they could transport troops guicker.
