WWl

More than 350,000 African Americans served in segregated units during World War I, mostly as support troops. Several units saw action alongside French soldiers fighting against the Germans, and 171 African Americans were awarded the French Legion of Honor.
WWII

Despite a high enlistment rate in the U.S. Army, African Americans were not treated equally. At parades, church services, in transportation and canteens the races were kept separate. A quota of only 48 nurses was set for African-American women, and the women were segregated from white nurses and white soldiers for much of the war. Eventually more black nurses enlisted. They were assigned to care for black soldiers. Black nurses were integrated into everyday life with their white colleagues. The first African-American woman sworn into the Navy Nurse Corps was Phyllis Mae Dailey, a Columbia University student from New York. She was the first of only four African-American women to serve as a Navy nurse during World War II.

Which of the following provided funds to states for work projects?

DedPeter [7]

The correct answer is Reconstruction Finance Corporation

The Reconstruction Finance Corporation was Hoover's first response to the Depression.

The negative effects of the Great Depression peaked in the United States in 1933. This year, American President Franklin Delano Roosevelt approved a series of measures known as the New Deal.

The New Deal, along with social aid programs carried out by all American states, helped to minimize the effects of the Depression from 1933 onwards. Most countries hit by the Great Depression began to recover economically from then on. In some countries, the Great Depression was one of the primary factors that helped the rise of far-right regimes, such as the Nazis led by Adolf Hitler in Germany. The beginning of World War II ended with any lingering effect of the Great Depression on the main countries affected.
