Answer:

Women accounted for more than 40% of metalworking during the war, but at the end of the war there were 650,000 unemployed women in Britain, and the privileges of working women disappeared.

And pay for work for African Americans was diminished because the government decided to pay more to war-wounded soldiers.

Explanation:

During World War I there was great support from women and African Americans.

Most of the women forced by the situation went from being housewives to workers, activist, and nurses

And African Americans went from being simple workers to front-line soldiers.

But at the end of World War I, the economic consequences were more evident in these two groups.

Women were no longer required for jobs where multiple women were hired to replace a single man.

Furthermore, the right to vote was taken away from them.

And black soldiers saw their wages drop for supporting the front lines after the United States government decided to pay more to war-wounded soldiers.

Why did roger williams turn down the opportunity to become a minister at john winthrop's boston church?

Marta_Voda [28]

Roger Williams was a man of integrity. He therefore stood with his principles. He was therefore adamant in his criticism and rejection of the Church of England. John Winthrop's Church in Boston had on the other hand remained reluctant to out rightly and openly reject the Church of England. He therefore refused to serve it.

1. Why did the US become involved in the Panama Canal?

Vilka [71]

The United States wanted a method of export and transportation to and from the United States originally when Panama was a part of Colombia. This is why they helped Panama's revolution to become its own independent country. If they had good relations and Panama went as planned, the US could finally build the canal they wanted so badly. The canal now allows transportation of many of the goods we purchase and use today here in the United States.
