Basically, none!. Don't forget that communications were much slower and that there wasn't television to bring instant pictures of suffering to the rest of the world!. The culture of richer nations supplying aid to poorer ones in times of crisis just didn't exist in the 19th century!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
