Answer:

After World War II, he was a leading figure in the negotiations that led to Indian independence in 1947. Although hailing the granting of Indian independence as the “noblest act of the British nation,” he was distressed by the religious partition of the former Mogul Empire into India and Pakistan. When violence broke out between Hindus and Muslims in India in 1947, he resorted to fasts and visits to the troubled areas in an effort to end India’s religious strife. On January 30, 1948, he was on one such prayer vigil in New Delhi when he was fatally shot by Nathuram Godse, a Hindu extremist who objected to Gandhi’s tolerance for the Muslims.

Known as Mahatma, or “the great soul,” during his lifetime, Gandhi’s persuasive methods of civil disobedience influenced leaders of civil rights movements around the world, especially Martin Luther King, Jr., in the United States.

Explanation:

Gandhi was one of the most important leaders in the struggle for Indian independence. He headed the Indian National Congress and organized others in civil disobedience to protest British rule. After World War II, his hard work paid off when India gained independence from British rule.

Gandhi absolutely believed in using nonviolent approaches to solving life's problems. He protested against injustice and intolerance, and he was not afraid to do what he thought was right. He influenced many leaders, from Martin Luther King Jr. to Nelson Mandela. His legacy will continue long into the future.

Hope this helps.. Jai Hind

Viefleur [7K]
For the most part, they wanted an opportunity to own their own land.  European land was largely owned by rich Lords and Monarchs.  The US was largely open for the taking, and the poor would agree to be an indentured servant for many years in exchange for a chance to make it to the US, and hopefully one day own their own land.

A negative effect of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was that
Soloha48 [4]

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) was approved by President Barack Obama in 2009, and consisted on a stimulus package released with the aim of preventing the destruction of jobs, fostering the creation of new ones, and boosting the aggregate demand as a mechanism for economic recovery. Therefore, recovery from the recession of 2007-2009 was sought through the Keynesian way.

One negative effect of  the spending schedule imposed by the ARRA, was that a great part of the money had to be borrowed. National debt was increased and this led to a deficit situation.
