How do the events that effected people of Mexican ancestry in the 1930s compare to current time?
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

he Great Depression of the 1930s hit Mexican immigrants especially hard. Along with the job crisis and food shortages that affected all U.S. workers, Mexicans and Mexican Americans had to face an additional threat: deportation. As unemployment swept the U.S., hostility to immigrant workers grew, and the government began a program of repatriating immigrants to Mexico. Immigrants were offered free train rides to Mexico, and some went voluntarily, but many were either tricked or coerced into repatriation, and some U.S. citizens were deported simply on suspicion of being Mexican. All in all, hundreds of thousands of Mexican immigrants, especially farmworkers, were sent out of the country during the 1930s--many of them the same workers who had been eagerly recruited a decade before.

The farmworkers who remained struggled to survive in desperate conditions. Bank foreclosures drove small farmers from their land, and large landholders cut back on their permanent workforce. As with many Southwestern farm families, a great number of Mexican American farmers discovered they had to take on a migratory existence and traveled the highways in search of work.

Explanation:

Many found temporary stability in the migrant work camps established by the U.S. Farm Security Administration, or FSA. The FSA camps provided housing, food, and medicine for migrant farm families, as well as protection from criminal elements that often took advantage of vulnerable migrants. The FSA set up several camps specifically for Mexican Americans in an attempt to create safe havens from violent attacks.

The camps also provided an unexpected benefit. In bringing together so many individual farm families, they increased ties within the community. Many residents began organizing their fellow workers around labor issues, and helped pave the way for the farm labor movements that emerged later in the century. This interview with a leader of the FSA camp in El Rio, California describes some of the day-to-day issues that the camp residents dealt with.

World war i has often been described as an unnecessary war. do you agree? why or why not
Ne4ueva [31]
The question is based on your own opinion,I cannot give you direct answer,but here's some idea for you.

yes: the war was caused by extreme nationalism,where the nations had the desire to be strong with and they seek for national glory. It started with this concept,they began to ally,to expand,soon running into conflicts,eventually the scale enlarged to a world war. Yet the chase for national glory was originally to bring a better nation,in the end it just cause loss and destruction. War is not necessary to be started in orfer to gain national glory. Were the nations to back down,it could be avoided. You might want to expand more on the destruction it caused if you choose yes.

No: In spite of WWI did cause a lot of destruction,it pushes the history of human foward. You could talk more on the things achieved and changed in WWI,such as the fall of empires,the uprise of women rights,the establishment of national cooperation system(League of nations), and the develope of more destructive weapons.

hope it helps!
