So Spain opened Cuban ports to the United States the same year but it turned out that the island became very dependent of these trade relations. Indeed, in 1877, 82 percent of Cuba’s exports were bound for the United States and many American corporations were installed on the island. That’s why this one began to

long time ago; it dates back first to the infamous 16th century slave trade, the 18th century’s industrial revolution and then to the post World War II era. After 1945, it was thought that the much needed growth would be favoured by a globalised economy.

Economically speaking, it is the third most important country in Asia (the country being one of the economic tigers), and the twelfth largest economy in the world. In order to reach this level, the country had to go through a lot of changes and adjustments since 1947. Right after the decolonization of India from Britain in 1947, the economy of the country

Before the British came, India was one of the richest countries in the world. Towards the end of 18th century, India was economically more developed than Britain.
