During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the US underwent rapid industrialization, with industries like oil, steel, and textiles booming. Inventions in electricity also helped drive economic growth. However, the stock market crash of 1929 marked the beginning of the Great Depression, with bank failures and mass unemployment. After the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941, the US entered World War II and its industrial might helped ensure victories over Germany and Japan. However, the postwar period saw increased tensions with the Soviet Union and the emergence of the Cold War.
Business Economics of US is studied where its market and growth from past to present and future challenges to the growth is covered such as depression and debt problems.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

During the second half of 19th
– the first part of 20th century
the USA was becoming the
world’s leading industrial
power and great fortunes
were made by shrewd
businessmen. The first
transcontinental railroad was
completed in 1869.
3. ● The petroleum industry prospered,
dominated by John D. Rockefeller’s
giant Standard Oil Company.
● Andrew Carnegie, who came to
America as a poor Scottish immigrant,
built a great empire of steel mills and
iron mines – which he sold in 1901 for
nearly 500 thousand million dollars.
Textile mills multiplied in the South,
and meatpacking plants sprang up in
and around Chicago.
Andrew Carnegie
4. ● An electrical industry was created
by a series of inventions – the
telephone, the phonograph, the light
bulb, motion pictures etc.
● In Chicago architect Louis Sullivan
used steel frame construction to
develop an American contribution
to the cities of the world – the
Architect Louis Sullivan skyscraper.
5. ● Industrialization brought with it the rise of organized labour. Many of the
workers in the new industries were immigrants.
● Between 1865 and 1910, 25 million people came to the United States, many
of them settled in major American cities. Immigrants often suffered
discrimination from native-born Americans – who, of course, were
themselves descended from immigrants. Still, America offered the
immigrants more religious liberty, more political freedom and greater
economic opportunities than they could find in their native lands.
● Since the founding of Jamestown,
the first permanent European
settlement in North America, in 1607,
the United States has accepted two-thirds
of all the world’s immigrants – a total
of 50 million people.
Jamestown
6. ● Although the economy was booming
and prosperity was spreading, up to
half of all industrial workers still lived
in poverty – and many of those
workers were women and children.
Many states passed laws restricting
child labour, protecting women
workers, limiting work hours and
providing workmen’s compensation.
Women agitated for the right to vote,
and by 1914 several states had granted
that right.
7. ● In 1921, Congress enacted
immigration limits. These
restrictions favoured
immigrants from Britain,
Ireland, Scandinavia and
Germany – “Anglo-Saxon”
and “Nordic” stock. Small
quotas were reserved for
eastern and southern
Europeans; none at all for
Asians.
8. The Ku Klux
Klan
● The 1920th were an extraordinary
and contradictory decade. It was
the age of Prohibition.
● In 1920 alcoholic beverages
were outlawed by a
Constitutional Amendment. But
drinkers cheerfully evaded the
law in thousands of illegal bars,
and gangsters made fortunes
supplying illegal liquor.
Composer George Gershwin
9. ● The Ku Klux Klan, revived in 1915,
attracted millions of followers and
terrorized blacks, Catholics, Jews
and immigrants. At the same time,
there was a flowering of black
literature – the “Harlem
Renaissance” – and jazz caught the
imagination of many white
Americans, including composer
George Gershwin.
10. Henry Ford and his Model T
● For business, the 1920th were golden
years of prosperity.
● The United States was now a consumer
society, with a blooming market for
radios, home appliances, synthetic
textiles and plastics. The businessman
became a popular hero.
● One of the most admired men of the
decade was Henry Ford, who introduced
the assembly line into automobile
production. Ford was able to pay high
wages and still earn enormous profits by
manufacturing the Model T – a simple,
basic car that millions of buyers could
afford.
Henry Ford
11. “Black Thursday”
There were, however, problems in the
prosperity of the 1920th.
Overproduction of crops depressed
food prices, and farmers suffered.
Industrial workers were earning better
wages, but they still did not have
enough purchasing power to continue
buying goods, produced by the
factories.
On October, 24, 1929 – “Black
Thursday” – a wave of panic selling of
stocks swept the New York Stock
Exchange. By 1932, thousands of
banks and over 100,000 businesses
had failed. Industrial production was
cut in half, farm income had fallen by
more than half, wages had decreased
60 percent, new investment was down
90 percent and one out of every four
workers was unemployed.
12. Watch the video about “Black Thursday” in the USA:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKkCp-sS8Yc
After watching the video answer the following questions:
● What does “Black Thursday” mean?
● What are the causes of the stock market crash?
● What was the government policy for recovering of the
economy?
● Name the consequences of “Black Thursday”.
13. In September 1939, war erupted in Europe. Roosevelt announced
that the United States would be neutral, but not indifferent.
On December, 7, 1941, Japanese bombers struck at Pearl
Harbour naval base in Hawaii. The surprise attack sank or
damaged eight battleships and destroyed almost 200 aircrafts.
The United States immediately declared war on Japan. Four days
later, Japan’s allies, Germany and Italy, declare war on the
United States.
14. In 1941, Japan had a large navy and a greater
number of aircraft. Prospects for a Japanese military
victory depended on Japan’s being able to defeat the
Americans before the United States could
reconstruct its industrial complex to produce
military equipment. At this Japan failed, and the
United States was soon producing huge numbers of
ships, aircraft and weaponry.
15. The USA feared that Germany might
develop a nuclear weapon, so the
government spent $ 2 thousand million
on the top-secret Manhattan Project,
which produced and tested an atomic
bomb in 1945.
16. American, British and Soviet war
planners agreed to concentrate on
defeating Germany first. British and
American forces landed in North
Africa in November 1942, then
proceeded to Sicily and the Italian
mainland in 1943, liberating Rome on
June 4, 1944, after months of bitter
fighting. Two days later, June, 6, “D-Day”,
allied troops landed in
Normandy. Paris was liberated on
August, 24, and by September
American units were across the
German border. Finally, on April, 25,
1945, the western Allied forces met
Soviet troops at the town of Torgau,
Germany.
17. American forces wanted to invade the
Japanese home islands. In the hope of
bringing the war to a swift end President
Harry Truman ordered to use the atomic
bomb against Hiroshima (August, 6) and
Nagasaki (August, 9). Japan agreed to
surrender on August, 14. Nearly 200,000
civilians died in the nuclear attacks.
After the war, tension quickly developed
between the United States and the Soviet
Union. At the Yalta Conference in February
1945, Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin
promised free elections for all the liberated
nations of Europe. The western Allies
restored democracy in Western Europe and
Japan, but Soviet forces imposed communist
dictatorships in Eastern Europe.
18. In 1947, Secretary of State George C.
Marshall proposed a massive aid
program to help rebuild destroyed
Europe. The USSR and the Eastern
European nations were invited to
participate in the Marshall Plan, but the
Soviets rejected the offer. The Marshall
Plan was a generous and successful
program. Over four years it paid out
$12,5 thousand million in aid and
restored the economies of Western
Europe.
In May, 1947, the United States began
sending military aid to the Greek
government, which was fighting
Communists, and to Turkey, which had a
conflict about territory with the Soviets.
19. At this time, Germany and Berlin were divided in two – a western zone
under American, British and French occupation, and an eastern zone
under Soviet domination. In April, 1949, the United States allied with
Canada, Britain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, Luxembourg,
Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Portugal to form the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization (NATO).
