Describe the serious problem faced by the modern part of Hanoi in 1903.**
Solution:  
Great economic hardships were faced by the people of Europe in 1930s. Some of the difficulties that they faced were:
(i) The ratio of the rise of population was larger than that of employment generation. People from rural areas were migrating to cities in search of employment, which was not easily available because of overcrowding.
(ii) Small producers in towns (especially textile producing industries) were often overthrown by the cheap machines. They faced stiff competition from the imports from England.
(iii) Peasants still suffered under the burden of feudal dues and obligations in some regions of Europe. Rise of food prices and unemployment led to widespread pauperism in the country.
