<span>At night the fair was lit by electricity. Who would light the fair would soon light the World. Edison and Westinghouse both put in bids to light the fair. General Electric Company (Edison’s and Morgan’s company) first bid to light the fair for $1.8 million. That bid did not go over well. The two did a second bid worth $554,000. Unbeknownst to General Electric, George Westinghouse, armed with Tesla’s new induction motor, proposed to light the fair for $399,000. Westinghouse won the contract. The effect of winning the bid would change history. Tesla's AC polyphase system would be on display for not only the US to see but the whole world.

-<br> What was an effect of having so many men away from home during World War II?
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Women typically took over men's jobs.

Explanation:

During the duration of World War II, the US government called for the American women to do their part in the war, such as saving material needed for the war effort and recycling them, as well as working in factories. They also were asked to be used as nurses in the front if needed.

The effect of this when the men came back from the war, was that many ladies did not want to go back to be "home-owners", and would rather work away from home as well. This led to them trying to 'take' men's jobs away, and led to the women's movement for the right to work outside.
