Why is Trading with different countries so important and why did the US force japan to trade internationally even if they didn’t want to ?
In: Economics
Trading is important because it’s sharing resources between countries, or you might end up repeating history with countries conquering and subjugating each other for resources instead.
Let’s say my country has great growing soil for crops and your country is high in raw materials like iron. But your people can’t eat iron, and mine can’t build with vegetables. So one option is to go to war with each other and burn a ton of resources and lose a bunch of our people in the process.
Or the other option is I give you food and you give me iron. That way we both thrive, our people are fed, and we have raw materials to construct with. It’s a win-win for all.
