学习：

After a century of virtually no population growth, the countries of Western

Europe experienced dramatic population increases between 1750 and 1800. Many

countries doubled in size. In some countries, the growth continued through the

nineteenth century. The population of Great Britain, for instance, doubled between 1750 and 1800 and then tripled between 1800 and 1900.

There were several reasons for the sudden increase. Medical advances and

improved hygiene limited the devastation caused by epidemic diseases and

plagues. The introduction of new food crops, most notably the potato, provided a

better diet for the poor and reduced the incidence of famine. The combination of

greater public order and fewer civil wars meant that life was less hazardous.

The net result was a lower death rate and soaring populations.

The growing population, with a rising proportion of children to raise and

older people to care for, put increased pressure on every aspect of society. Many peasants were no longer able to provide land for their children, who were

forced to look for other ways to make their living. Small artisans in the cities

suffered similar problems, unable to provide places for their children in their

own workshops.

The exact relationship between population growth and industrialization is

unclear, though the two are clearly intertwined. (Even countries that were late

to industrialize shared in the general population increase, and its related

problems.) What is clear is that the growth in population increased the demand

for both food and manufactured goods and provided an abundance of cheap labor to

produce them.

(1)The African Iron Age is traditionally considered that period in Africa

between the second century AD up to about 1000 AD, when iron smelting was

practiced. In Africa, unlike the Europe and Asia, the Iron Age is not prefaced

by a Bronze or Copper Age, but rather all the metals were brought together. The

advantages of iron over stone are obvious--iron is much more efficient at cutting trees or quarrying stone than stone tools. But iron smelting technology
