The bar chart given compares 3 regions based on the percentage of total world production between 1840 and 2000, at 40-year intervals.
Looking at the illustration, it is immediately that Europe recorded the highest figure in most years, while the opposite was true for Asia. Additionally, all subject survey showed an overall dramatic change throughout the period.
In 1840, Europe dominated the chart at around 60%, which was roughly three times higher than Asia’s figure of just under 20%, while the rest of the world ranked last at about 10%. In 1880, By 1920, the rest of the world had overtaken Asia to become the second-largest contributor to global production out of the three regions.
In 2000, after some fluctuations, Asia experienced steady growth and rose to nearly 40%, thereby becoming the largest contributor. The figure for Europe, by contrast, declined substantially to under 30% and eventually became the lowest among the three regions. Meanwhile, the rest of the world maintained consistent growth, reaching about 30%, which represented the most stable increase throughout the period.
