History
1 answer:
Phoenix [80]3 years ago
4 0
Basic answer: Over expansion

Germany had been deprived of its colonies at the end of WW1 and the vast number of islands the Japanese had captured had been liberated by the US. This led to these places gaining their independence. The main reason though was the British Empire which in a way dissolved. No longer did the sun never set on the British Empire. Basically with the prime example being India The British realized that in a modern world there were other world powers and they had too much land to protect. They had troops in every colony from Atlantic to Pacific and simply couldn’t defend their whole country. This whole idea was brought out by the Second World War and thus after the war many countries gained their independence.

Under the Articles of Confederation, who was allowed to print money?
-BARSIC- [3]
While Congress had the right to regulate all forms of American currency, the Articles failed to call for a singular form of currency. This meant that the national government could print money, but each state could as well. Consequently, America had no uniform system of currency which made trade between the states, and with foreign entities, much more difficult and less efficient.

Drag and drop the causes and effects of the Great Migration to the correct boxes. Use each answer once.
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Jim Crow laws - Cause

Jim Crow laws were laws in the Southern States that disenfranchised African Americans, made segregation legal, gave support to hate organizations like the KKK, and reduced their economic opportunities. Jim Crow Laws were one of the main motivations for African Americans to migrate to the Northeast and the Midwest.

More segregated  neighborhoods in  the North - Effect

Most African Americans emigrated to low-income neighborhoods of urban areas in the Northern states. As soon as they began to move in, most white people left, as some government policies like redlining also promoted this increased segregation.

Harlem Renaissance - Effect

The Harlem Renaissance was an African American cultural movement that emerged in the Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan during the first decades of the XX century. It was caused by the Great Migration due to the large number of black people who moved there during this period.

Violence toward African Americans - Cause

Violence toward African Americans in the South was common during and after the Reconstruction Era. Lynchings and hangings were common, and supported by the authorities. This was one of the main motivations for African Americans to migrate to the North.
