Impor tance of the
Wa te r w a ys

Waterways were crucial for helping

countries rebuild and trade with
each other after World War 2.

The United states had a plan called

the MARSHALL PLAN, and
waterways were a big part of
making it work.
They also introduced using
containers to move things on a ship.

The Marshal Plan

Marshall plan was program sponsored by

the US which was designed to rehabilitate
the economics of 17 european countries in
order to create stable conditions in which
democratic institutions could survive after
the war.It was also called the European
Recovery program.
It was enacted in 1948 and provided more
than $15 billion to help finance rebuilding
efforts on the continent.
impact of water ways 03
On India

The movement of nearly 95% of

foreign trade in India by volume
and 70% by value takes place
through oceanic trade.
As India was under colonization
at the time of post war period,
not much was affected due to
already restricted overseas trade.
 AIRWAYS
During World War II, airlines worked closely with the military to further the war
effort by transporting people and materiel.

Air transportation changed dramatically during and after World War II. New
technology led to advanced piston-engine aircraft and new solutions to the
problems of navigation and air traffic control.
HOW DID AIRWAYS IMPACT WORLD
V/S INDIA?
INDIA
Air travel also became a big deal
after the war. People started
using planes a lot more for travel
and for moving goods quickly. In
India, airlines like Air India
started flying to more places, and
airports got better.
WORLD
Air transport facilitates
integration into the global
economy and provides vital
connectivity on a national, regional,
and international scale. This
growth helped to connect
different parts of yhe country
made it easier for the people and
goods to move from one place to
another.
 HOW DID AIRLINES INFLUENCE IN
INTERNATIONAL TRADE?
The growth of airlines helped in the expansion of international trade. This network of
air routes enables swift and efficient travel for business, tourism, and diplomatic
purposes, fostering stronger global ties.

Some of the ways in which the airlines helped in the transportation of goods and
services are:-
1.Deliver items quickly over long distances
2.Give you high levels of security for sensitive items
3.Be used for a range of goods
Emergence of Deccan airways changed the entire
functionalities of domestic airways. Substantiate
the statement.
ANSWER -
• Deccan Airways was a pioneer in the development of low-cost
carriers (LCCs). They opened up air travel to a wider range of people
by providing affordable options. This transformed domestic aviation
and made flying accessible to a new group of people.They increased
air connectivity and made it simpler for customers to move inside the
country by introducing new routes and expanding their network to
smaller cities.
The role of major ports in imports and
exports

Answer -
• Major ports were and still are essential entry points
for international trade and play a critical role in
enabling imports and exports. The flow of products
and commodities between nations is handled at these
ports, which act as hubs for maritime transportation.
