Answer:

Miners were called 'forty-niners' because they moved to California en masse in 1849 as a result of the California Gold Rush.

Explanation:

1848 gold was discovered by James W. Marshall at Sutter's Mill, in Coloma, California. News of the discovery soon spread, resulting in some 300,000 men, women, and children coming to California from the rest of the United States and abroad. These early gold-seekers, called "forty-niners," traveled to California by sailing boat and in covered wagons across the continent, often facing substantial hardships on the trip. San Francisco grew from a small settlement to a boomtown, and roads, churches, schools and other towns were built throughout California. A system of laws and a government were created, leading to the admission of California as a state in 1850

More powerful air force radar and message decoding technologies.

The Germans made efforts to bomb Royal Air Force airfields and take out Britain's radar defense system, but the outnumbered RAF fighters managed to outmaneuver their opponents, aided by radar technology.

As for message decoding technologies, the code-cracking machine developed by Alan Turing had an impact particularly on naval battles in the Atlantic between the Germans and the Allies.  Once they developed the ability to decode German messages, the British had to proceed carefully and not act on every military message or the Germans would have suspected their encoded messages were being hacked.
