Later that fall I was in class and began to have flu-like symptoms that were fairly mild; aches, temperature, and other symptoms

. I returned to my dorm room and fell asleep without dinner. I slept until late morning, missing class and breakfast. I still had some mild symptoms, but the aches and elevated temperature were gone. I felt well enough to go to lunch and then on to my afternoon classes. I noticed that the dining room was not as full as usual. Later, in class, I also noticed a lot of students missing.
By the next day, I had no symptoms at all. However, there were even fewer students in the dining room and classrooms, and several professors were also missing. My girlfriend was quite sick and through her I learned that her roommates and a large number of dorm mates were in bed very ill, too. Eventually over 80% of the student body was "hospitalized" in the dorms.--David Rex, Influenza Storybook, 1957

The zoot suit riots in Los Angeles revealed which of the following? (5 points) Select one: a. the failure of the Congress of Rac
Vikentia [17]

Answer: c. the racial tension between Mexican Americans and mainstream society.

The zoot suit riots of 1943 were a series of conflicts between European white Americans (particularly those in the military service) and predominantly Mexican youth. The trigger for these was the youth’s preference for “zoot suits.” This type of suits required a lot of fabric to be made, which was seen by the white Americans as unpatriotic, because of the rationing of fabric that was established during the war.

While this specific reason was the main trigger, the riots also showed the underlying racial tensions that were found in American societies, particularly in large cities. The riots also seemed to have been the inspiration for several similar events that year in Philadelphia, Oakland, Chicago, San Diego, Evansville and New York City.

Discuss those developments of the 1937-47 period that led to the creation of Pakistan.
ycow [4]
In 1945, the British opened negotiations between the Congress, the League and themselves for the independence of India.
From the late-1930s, the Muslim League began viewing the Muslims as a separate-nation from the Hindus. This might have developed due to the history of tension between some Hindu and Muslim groups in the 1920s and 1930s.
