The provided bar chart illustrates the percentage of the world production output from Asia, Europe, and the other parts of the world that were produced from 1840 to 2000.
Overall, Europe and the rest of the world were more and more popular while the opposite was the case for Asia. In addition, Asia and Europe were the two nations that were the highest position in 1840 and 1920, respectively whereas the rest of the globe witnessed the lowest position during the first served period.
Looking first at Europe and the rest of the globe that witnessed increases, Europe stood at 40%, which was four times that for the rest of the globe in 1840. Then, the former saw a dramatic rise, peaking the top spot of 50% in 1920, before dropping significantly to around 35% in 1986, followed by a steadily decline to under 30% in 2000 while the rest of the world showed a significant increase and was the same level with that for Europe, with 30% in 1960, after dropping slightly to around 35% in 2000.
AS for the remaining world, the proportion of Asia began and reached at 50% in the first surveyed year before dropping significantly to under 20% in 1920, and then experienced a slight increase to around 25% in 1960, after growing dramatically to approximately 43% in the final surveyed period.
