The Corn Laws (1 janv. 1815 – 1 janv. 1846)
Description:
During the war years, Britain had been unable to import inexpensive grain, leading to high prices and large profits for the landed aristocracy. When the war was over, grain could be imported again, but with the Corn Laws, aristocrats were able to place high tariffs on imported grain that caused absurd prices for the working class.Ajouté au bande de temps:
