Which statement accurately compares why local Northern Rhodesian and Burmese populations suffered such extreme economic impacts of the Great Depression.
Both local Northern Rhodesian and Burmese populations suffered extreme economic impacts of the Great Depression due to their heavy reliance on European imports and exports. Northern Rhodesia was heavily dependent on copper prices, which plummeted during the Depression, leading to widespread unemployment and economic hardship. Similarly, Burma relied on exports such as rice and timber, which experienced sharp declines in demand and prices during the Depression, resulting in severe economic downturns for the local population.
