The first large movement of blacks occurred during World War I, when 454,000 black southerners moved north.  In the 1920s, another 800,000 blacks left the south, followed by 398,000 blacks in the 1930s.  Between 1940 and 1960 over 3,348,000 blacks left the south for northern and western cities.      

<span>The economic motivations for migration were a combination of the desire to escape oppressive economic conditions in the south and the promise of greater prosperity in the north.  Since their </span>Emancipation from slavery<span>, southern rural blacks had suffered in a plantation economy that offered little chance of advancement.  While a few blacks were lucky enough to purchase land, most were sharecroppers, tenant farmers, or farm labors, barely subsiding from year to year.  When </span>World War I<span> created a huge demand for workers in northern factories, many southern blacks took this opportunity to leave the oppressive economic conditions in the south.  </span>

<span>The northern demand for workers was a result of the loss of about 5 million men who left to serve in the armed forces, also as the restriction of foreign immigration. A few sectors of the economy were so desperate for workers at this time that they would pay for blacks to migrate north.  The Pennsylvania Railroad needed workers so badly that it paid the travel expenses of 12,000 blacks.  The Illinois Central Railroad, along with many steel mills, factories, and tanneries, similarly provided free railroad passes for blacks.  World War I was the first time since Emancipation that black labor was in demand outside of the agricultural south, and the economic promise was enough for a lot blacks to overcome their substantial challenges to migrate. </span>

<span>The statement is false.

It is estimated that around 50.000 Loyalists have left the country ever since the <span>First Republic</span> took place.</span>

Why was Italy in chaos following WWI?
babymother [125]

Answer:

D. All of the above

Explanation:

Italy after WW1 had not gained a lot of economical support and territory size despite being on the winning side of the war. The politics was absolutely chaotic and also allowed for radical parties like Mussolini's fascists to rise during the Great Depression. Many veterans after the war did not have the means to obtain employment either.

How has government address the issue of increasing minority populations?
bogdanovich [222]

Hello. You have not informed the text or the situation to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you as best I can.

To answer this question accurately it would be necessary for you to read a text or know of a situation that brought some context to the question. However, a government can approach the increase in minority populations in two ways which are either by promoting factors that support that population or by trying to combat it.

Minority populations are socially disadvantaged populations, for this reason, it is important that governments seek to establish social policies that help this population to fit fairly into society. The larger the population, the more necessary these policies are. However, governments can try to fight these populations by creating elements that further disfavor them and promote their reduction, promoting unfair and prejudiced policies.
