Mark Twain coined the Gilded age as an era characterized by a facade of prosperity. This era that he war referring to was the years after the Civil War. At this time, the economy saw great strides in terms of development, growth and wealth. However, Mark Twain, along with Charles Dudley Warner, saw that this prosperity masked the consequences of the growing trade and its effects on the industrial workers. 

Behind this veil of gold and success, was corruption, stratification of the society and turmoil among workers.

Dafna1 [17]

Answer;

-If the English had populated Latin America and the Spanish North America, the two places would have had their cultures switched.

Explanation;

-North America was actually quite populated before the Europeans discovered it. The problem was that European disease spread faster than the explorers such that 90% of the population died before ever seeing an explorer. So we might expect that Mexico, Central America, and South America populations would have been equally destroyed.

-The differences in today’s Latin and North America are not due to the Indian societies that had lived there because they had all been basically the same.  The difference is because of the Spanish and English culture in the two places.  If the English had populated Latin America and the Spanish North America, the two places would have had their cultures switched.

B. Many countries have treated Jewish people poorly and forced them to leave.

Explanation:

The most major start to the Jewish people forced to leave is known as the "Great Diaspora", which saw to the Roman destruction of the Jewish state of Israel and <em>scattering them across the lands</em>. This would continue all the way until after World War II (in which case you will remember the Holocaust, which saw to Nazi Germany murdering thousands of Jews as well as other deplorables) when the UN as well as the USSR recognized the state of Israel, creating a national country for all Jews, in which many started to move back to their historical lands.
