The old ruining towns and old factories were dosed down and new factories grew in new areas.

Industrialisation also enabled the European countries to import agricultural goods from other countries. Thus, they relied less on the agriculture of their countries for their food and raw material requirements. Hence, Europe became dependent upon trade with other countries. Initially, this trade was with their colonies in Asia, Africa and America. However as the colonies became independent, they had to develop new ways of trading with them.

As a result, it is possible to raise only one crop in a year in these parts. However, in southern Europe, it is possible to raise two crops a year.
Answer:

1. The Mediterranean countries are the southernmost countries of Europe.
2. The Westerlies blow here during winter causing rains.
