The given bar chart shows the world production output from two different continents, Asia and Europe, and the rest of the world in different years: 1840, 1880, 1920, and 2000.
Overall, the world production output of Asia was highest in 1840, and Europe reached a peak in 1920. However, the rest of the world experienced slight fluctuations and always remained the lowest during the period.
At the beginning of the period, Asia’s output rose highest at 50%, but in 1880, it went down to 30% and then faced a period of volatility. However, at the end of the period, Asia’s output production still increased to 45% in 2000. At the same time, 40% of the world’s production output was from Europe. Then in 1880, it went up moderately and then reached a peak in 1920 at 50%, but it fell down and dipped to half of the 1920 level in 2000.
By contrast, the rest of the world had the lowest figure at the beginning of the period, while Europe was 30% higher and Asia was 40% higher. Around 120 years later, after a steep climb, the figure for the rest of the world remained at the same level as Europe, and then minimally went up to 32%, higher than Europe at the same time in 2000.
