Detailed Solution

Around 150 million people migrated across the world during the nineteenth century.
Faster industrial expansion in Britain starting in the middle of the nineteenth century resulted in better incomes and more food imports. Lands were cleared all across the world, including in Eastern Europe, Russia, America, and Australia, and food production increased to match the demand in Britain. It wasn't enough to just clear land for farming. To connect the agricultural districts with the ports, railroads were required. Building new harbours were necessary. In order to cultivate the lands, people had to occupy them. This required erecting dwellings and towns. Each of these tasks requires both labour and capital. Money poured in from financial hubs like London. More migration occurred as a result of the need for labour in locations like America and Australia, where there was a shortage of labour. Consequently, a global agricultural economy had developed by 1890, along with significant adjustments to labour migration patterns, ecologies, technology, and money movements.
