Answer:

Emmett Till's death started the Chicago Race Riots of 1919.

Explanation:

The summer of 1919 is known as the "Red Summer" because several race riots occurred within this time period. As veterans returned from fighting in WWI, many in the black community believed that having fought in the war would grant them respect and racial equality, however this was not the case. This, along with existing tensions created by overcrowding (an effect of the Great Migration) meant that racial tensions in Chicago were high. After Emmett Till was murdered, his mother had him returned home for an open casket funeral. His funeral, along with the death of another black boy, incited protests that turned into violent riots when police and white bystanders interfered. The Chicago Race Riot of 1919 is particularly famous for having been deadly and incredibly destructive, though it was not the only riot to occur that summer.

When was the first Nuremberg law passed?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Hey there!

The first law was passed by the Nazis in an event called the "Enabling Act of 1933." The first two laws were called the Reichstag and the Reichsrat. It was supported by many Nazi followers, questionably by real support or by fear. It was eventually signed by P<span>aul von Hindenburg on the same day it was introduced. This was around the time of March.

This didn't just put Hiter's ideologies into effect. It gave him sovereignty over everywhere he ruled, and this is arguably one of the "boosters" that gave him even more power.

Hope this helps!</span>
