History

Answer:

Explanation: The Americans wanted to expand westward because they realized that large amounts of gold lay in this territory, especially in Coloma, in a sawmill called Sutter's Mill. Eager for a change to better life chances, many emigrations were made to that place. The number of emigrants to California was so great that this phenomenon was called The Gold Rush.

The Americans were willing to go to war to secure the West because many of them had settled in Texas, which was part of Mexico, thus beginning the United States-Mexico War, between 1846 and 1848 where it was intended to do expansion by the Americans adopting the doctrine of Manifest Destiny.

What did nativists groups believe would happen if European ethnic groups continued to immigrate to the United States after World
zlopas [31]

Answer:

<h3>The Anglo ideal would disappear.</h3>

Explanation:

After World War I, nativists groups in U.S started to fear that if European ethnic groups continued to immigrate to the United States after, their anglo ideal and culture would disappear.

With increase in immigration from Europe after the end the World War I, the native-born Americans of European lineage felt threatened with the multiplicity of European languages, cultures, and religions increasing in the U.S.

In order to preserve their own culture and language, the nativists started numerous protests for new immigration policies. Subsequently,the Emergency Immigration Act of 1921 was introduced. For the first time, it put certain restrictions on European immigration in U.S.

The National Origins Act of 1924 was further introduced to restrict southern and eastern European immigrants. The political unrest in Russia after the end of the first World War led many eastern Europeans to migrate to U.S and other countries.
