The bar graph presents the changes in manufacturing production in Asia, Europe, and other countries over the period from 1840 to 2000.
Overall, between 1840 and 1920, there was an upward trend in industrial output in Europe, and an increase in the rest of the world. In contrast, Asia experienced a downward trend until the midpoint of the period, subsequently reaching its highest point at the end of the given period.
Europe experienced a moderate climb from 1840 to 1920, approximately by 10 percentage points, similarly the other countries showed the same tendency but by higher increase from 10% to 30%. Conversely, Asia which reached its peak in 1840 declined dramatically from exactly a half to one-fifth in 1920. In 1880, manufacturing production of Europe stood at over 40 percent while the contrast between Asia and the rest of the world was roughly 5 percent.
The percentage of manufacturing output in other countries was 30 percent in 1920, and it increased in1960, presenting as the same percentage of tendency as in Europe, just under a 40%. However, Asia experienced a marginal decrease during the next forty years, followed by Europe at just under 30 percent. Finally, the percentage of industrial production in Asia climbed sharply from 20 percent to approximately 45 percent by the end of the period.
