Total Immigrants: 22.3 million



The population of the USA increased from 63 million in 1890 to 106 million in 1920, as immigration hit its peak. For three decades after 1890, an annual average of 580,000 immigrants arrived on American shores, and 1907 set a record of 1.3 million newcomers in a single year. On the eve of World War I, the foreign-born had swollen to 15% of the US population. With 75% of Third Wave immigrants coming through the Port of New York, the old state immigration center, Castle Garden, was overwhelmed. This led to the construction of the first federal immigration center, Ellis Island, which served as the main port of entry for American immigration from 1898 to 1924.



Where Third Wave Immigrants Came From

The character of immigration also changed with the Third Wave. Whereas in 1880, 87% of immigrants had been from Northwestern Europe (the British Isles, Germany, and Scandinavia), by 1900, over 80% were from Southern and Eastern Europe (Italy, Russia, Austro-Hungary). The size and greater cultural diversity of the Third Wave would give rise to a great new Xenophobia (fear and hatred of foreigners) that would slam the door to new arrivals in the 1920s.



The Third Wave: The “New Immigrants”

Many factors increased the numbers and diversity of immigrants after 1890:



“Push” Factors drove Southern and Eastern Europeans to leave their native countries:

High population growth in Southern and Eastern Europe.
Lack of jobs and food.
Scarcity of available farmland.
Mechanization of agriculture, which pushed peasants off the land.
Religious persecution of Russian Jews, who fled their villages after pogroms.


“Pull” Factors attracted immigrants to the USA:

Democracy.
Freedom of religion.
Available land.
Other forms of economic opportunity.
Booming industries like steel and railroads advertised for workers in Hungary and Poland. These new immigrants helped build new railroads and took jobs in steel mills.

Who was Franz Joseph? How did his interactions with the Serbs contribute to the beginnings of WWI?
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Franz Joseph was Emperor of Austria from 1848 and King of Hungary from 1867 until his death in 1916.

He ascended the throne in Austria since his uncle, Ferdinand I of Austria, abdicated as a result of the unrest in 1848. His father had already relinquished the right to the throne, after pressure from his wife, Sofia, who considered their son better suited.

World War I arose, among other causes, as a result of the internal instability of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The constant tension between the central power and the separatist minorities (Czechs, Serbs, Italians and Romanians) led to a multinational conflict within the Empire, which could not be less exploited by its external enemies. In addition, Franz Joseph allowed the military leaders led by Count Conrad von Hötzendorf (supporter of a preventive war with Serbia) to direct the imperial policy in a hostile and warmongering way towards the menacing Serbia, supported by Russia, which with its nationalist aspirations put the stability and unity of the Empire is in danger.

The hatred of Serbian separatists for the annexation of Bosnia-Herzegovina led to the murder of Archduke Franz Ferdinand (nephew of Franz Joseph I and imperial heir) and his wife, Sofia von Chotek, in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914 at the hands of the young Serbian nationalist student Gavrilo Princip, a member of a nationalist group known as the Black Hand, who acted with impunity from Serbia with Russian funding.

after neolithic revolution civilization needed to raise funds to protect citizens. This led to the first blank by rulers governm
Anastaziya [24]

The correct answer is - taxes.

After the civilizations started to establish themselves and prospered, they needed to secure their citizens, and that was only possible if they had a strong military that will keep any intruders out of their territory.

The military is not cheap, and it needs a lot of funds, as it constantly needs food, clothing, armor, weapons, training, and all of that had to be sponsored by the governments/rulers. In order to be able to have strong and happy military forces, the governments started to tax the people, and initially that was only to sustain the military, but over time developed much more and is used for lots of other things nowadays.
