Answer 1

The most accurate comparison of the economic impacts of the Great Depression in Northern Rhodesia and Burma is:

Both colonies’ exports and wages decreased.

During the Great Depression, both Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) and Burma (now Myanmar) experienced significant economic downturns, leading to decreases in exports due to falling demand for raw materials and other goods. Additionally, wages in both regions were affected negatively as economic conditions worsened.
