Answer:

B. Income dropped 32% for the wealthiest, but just 5% for the middle class.

Explanation:

America's involvement in World War II had a significant impact on the economy and workforce of the United States.

Our involvement in the war soon changed that rate. American factories were retooled to produce goods to support the war effort and almost overnight the unemployment rate dropped to around 10%.

During the war 17 million new civilian jobs were created, industrial productivity increased by 96 percent, and corporate profits after taxes doubled.

ruslelena [56]

Please respond to the prompt below in complete sentences.
bekas [8.4K]

Answer and Explanation:

1. Because the "shot" represents a battle that echoed around the world, influencing battles elsewhere in the world, or involving several countries in the same battle. This is because this "shot" refers to the American revolution, which inspired other colonial territories to fight for independence. This "shot" may also represent the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, who started the second world war that involved several countries and even created the basis for the second world war.

2. The American revolution showed that it was possible for a colony to come into conflict with the country that dominated it and win by becoming independent. This inspired colonies across the European, African and Asian continents to fight for their freedoms, even though it seemed unlikely that they would win.

3. Because this was a simple, but very impressive way to show the importance of the battles of the American revolution to the whole world.
