- HEY THERE I AM A TIME TRAVELLER! IVE COME FROM BENGAL FROM THE YEAR 1950. THIS IS FRANCE , YEAR-1790,RIGHT?
- ....HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO COME BACK IN TIME! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE IN FRANCE?
- I HAVE COME BECAUSE I KNOW THAT A FEW YEARS BACK FRANCE SUFFERED FROM A SUBSISTENCE CRISIS, WE IN BENGAL TOO SUFFERED FROM ONE SOME YEARS AGO! I WANT TO KNOW HWO FRANCE DEALT WITH THE CRITICAL SITUATION
- ITS ALL JUST SO UNFORTUNATE! THE SISTUATION WAS NOT DEALT WELL WITH AT ALL, IN MY OPINION!
- SAME HERE! WHY DO YOU THINK IT OCCURED THOUGH? HERE THERE WERE QUITE A FEW REASONS THAT CAN BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION.
- WELL THE POPULATION OF FRANCE ROSE FROM 23 MILLION TO 28 MILLION IN 1789. THIS LEAD TO A SHORTAGE OF FOOD GRAIN AND RISE OF PRICES IN MARKETSMOST PEOPLE WERE EMPLOYED IN FACTORIES AND WORKSHOPS AND THE OWNERS FIXED THEIR WAGES. THE WAGES DID NOT KEEP PACE WITH THE INCREASING PRICES. THUS FOOD AVAILABILITY TIO MASSES REDUCED FURTHER
- SOME SAY IT WAS COMPLETELY BECAUSE OF POOR BRITISH POLICIES. IT WAS ATLEAST PARTLY RELATED TO THE ONGOING THREAT OF WW2.
- THAT IS HORRIBLE! OWNERS NEED HAVE SOME VIRTUE AND PAY THEIR WORKERS IN ACCORDANCE TO WHAT IS HAPPENING AROUND THEM!
- I AGREE WITH YOU. IF YOU'RE FROM 1946 AND THE CRISIS IS OVER, CAN YOU TELL ME HOW IS IT STILL AFFECTING YOUR LIFE?
- THERE WERE SEVERE CONSEQUENCES OF THE FAMINE. THE DEATH TOLL SHOT UP DUE TO STARVATION, DISEASES LIKE MALARIA AND CHOLERA WORSENED DUE TO POPULATION DISPLACEMENT, MALNUTRITION, POOR SANITATION AND PAUCITY OF HEALTH CARE. WHAT ABOUT FRANCE?
- MILLIONS DIED. THE GAP BETWEEN THE RICH AND THE POOR WIDENED. THE PRICES ROSE IN MARKETS WHICH PROVED TO BE OF GREAT DIFFICULTY FOR THE COMMON PEOPLE
- ALL THIS REALLY MADE PEOPLES LIVES MISERABLE. I HOPE SUCH A SITUATION NEVERS OCCURS AGAIN AND IF IT DOES, I HOPE WE ARE ABLE TO DEAL WITH IT IN A BETTER WAY .
