The correct answer (sample response) is:

Safer and more versatile railroads made it easier to travel and settle the West. Refrigerator cars helped the meatpacking industry to grow. Longer rail lines made it easier to send crops to markets. New railroads brought minerals and raw materials to iron and steel mills.

These are the effects of the growth of agriculture in the Midwest.

Railroads helped the US grow by making settlement in the West possible after the Civil War by connecting farmers (miners, ranchers, loggers, and others) to markets. there people and companies could both ship their produce to markets as well as ship in the machinery and supplies they needed. It was the only way to move large amounts of things quickly.

why did the economy of the 1920s resulted in quickly expanding prosperity for many Americans, but continued poverty for others
just olya [345]
Not all industries prospered in the Boom in the 1920s of America.

Old industries such as Coal and Cotton did terribly in the Boom as people became interested in the new products such as clothes made from artificial material(polyester). Coal was an old source of power, in the 1920s oil and electricity became greatly used.

Agriculture was also poor many farmers left the farmland to find work in the city. As new people emerged, new demands also appeared. Instead of fresh fruits and vegetables, Americans preferred cereals and bread which lead to the decrease of demands in fruits.

In the 1920s, Argentina and Canada began to supply the world crops which lead to the drops of demands from USA directly. Later in the year Prohibition(anything related to alcoholic drinks was made illegal) was introduced which caused an instant drop to the demands of barley(barley was used for making alcoholic drinks such as beer)

insens350 [35]

Answer:

The Yalta Conference essentially confirmed the accords reach in the previous Allied conference at Teheran in 1943, in regards to the unconditional surrender of the Axis powers. What was confirmed in Yalta was the commitment to create a new international organization, better equipped than the previous Society of Nations. This organization would be the United Nations.

Explanation:

The Yalta Conference was the entry point of the Cold War, that would essentially began after the Postdam Conference in 1945. What made Yalta relevant, was the commitment to install the United Nations as a heir of the former Society of Nations of the 1920's, but with the aim that this new organization would have a better way of coercing nations to respect international laws. However the conference also saw the Soviet Union using the leverage it had regarding the war, to make the US help it to force Britain to accept for example the Soviet occupation of Poland, in exchange for the Soviet war declaration over Japan.
