The abolition of the Corn Laws allowed cheap food imports into Britain, which boosted the flow of trade — countries like Russia, America, and Australia expanded food production to meet British demand.
To make this possible, capital from financial centres like London flowed to these regions to build railways, harbours, and settlements — affecting the flow of capital.
This agricultural expansion required more workers, triggering large-scale labour migration. Millions from Europe moved to America and Australia; demand for labour also drew migrants from Asia and Africa. Thus, all three flows — trade, capital, and labour — were set in motion globally.

Examiners look for: (1) Corn Laws abolition → cheap food imports → trade flow; (2) infrastructure building in new regions → capital flow from London; (3) labour needed in new lands → migration. All three flows must be named and linked to regions outside Britain (America, Australia, Eastern Europe, Russia). Avoid vague statements — cite specific regions as the passage does. This is a chain-reaction question, so show causality, not just listing.
