The chart showing the difference in world production output in Asia, Europe, and the rest of the world between 1840 and 2000.
Overall, Asia, Europe and the rest of the world have been constantly in production despite changes in output over the years. Although Asia was leading in production in 1840 at 50% Europe has been consistent with production at atleast 40%, and only coming below in 1960 and 2000.
The rest of the countries in the world have been gradually increasing their production but has never gone beyond 40%. It is only Asia and Europe that has gone above 40%, where Europe has done it three times (1840, 1880 and 1920) and two times (1840 and 2000). In 1960, Europe and other countries produced equall units, which was slightly lower than 40%. Furthermore, 1960 was the year with low production across all the countries, where none of the country surpased 40%.
