As the world wide web tightened the abolition of slavery and serfdom circulated around the world in a very quick pace. The abolition of these phenomenon made migration possible in significant streams between the 19th and beginning of the 20th century.

Moreover, these substantial movements of people – including goods and money – led to three remarkable changes. To begin, they first of all supported to develop a tighter world market.
