How were the difficulties of small producers in Europe linked with cheap machine-made goods from Britain?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: They could not compete with cheap goods
The governing concept is the economic pressure created by industrialisation and expanding markets. British factories used machines to produce goods more quickly and cheaply than many traditional European workshops. Small producers therefore lost customers, faced falling prices and experienced reduced incomes or unemployment. Option A correctly states this relationship. Options B and C describe an unlikely improvement, while D is wrong because economic hardship contributed to wider social and political discontent linked with nationalism.
