  • Under this Act, land in the West was opened for thousands of Americans to settle there.
  • Many people moved to the West as the population in the eastern states increased.
  • The 160 acres of land by the government at a small filing fee drove many white Americans to establish ranches and farms.

What could the US government have done to improve the economy in European nations before the Great Depression
atroni [7]

Answer:

They could have decreased protectionism. Protectionism means that they limited free trade between nations and restricted trade of foreign goods. Protectionism is widely accepted as maybe the biggest reason for the development of the Great Depression and thus if the US had decreased it, it most likely would not have happened at all.
