Answer:

A. Many immigrants had no skills and were forced to take low-paying jobs.

C. Many immigrants were looking for political freedom that had been denied them at home.

Explanation:

New research by Stanford economist Ran Abramitzky studies Norwegian immigrants to the U.S. during the late 19th and early 20th centuries who chose to return to Europe. Return migrants hailed from poorer backgrounds but ended up holding higher-paid occupations back home.

In the late 1800s, people in many parts of the world decided to leave their homes and immigrate to the United States. Fleeing crop failure, land and job shortages, rising taxes, and famine, many came to the U. S. because it was perceived as the land of economic opportunity. Others came seeking personal freedom or relief from political and religious persecution, and nearly 12 million immigrants arrived in the United States between 1870 and 1900

3. City States in Mesopotamia

4. Ancient egyptian Empire

5. The City State of Sparta nad Athens.

Explanation: History is divided in Periods: Pre-Historic Ages, Ancient History, Middle Ages and Modern Ages.

Pre-historic Ages dated, approximately, from 2.5 million years ago to 1200 B.C. and is categorized into 3 archaelogical periods: Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. Stone Age is divided into 3 more periods: Paleolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic.

Paleolithic, roughly 2.5 million years to 10000 B.C., is the period when humans lived in caverns, were gatherers and hunters, cooking with controlled fire and used basic stone and bone tools. They also left behind art using animal bone and blood, mixture of charcoal, tree saps and carved small figurines from stones, clay and antlers.

Neolithic, rughly 8000 BC to 3000 BC, humans switched from gatherers to farmers, domesticating animals and cultivating grains. They used more polished tools and there was an advance in home construction and art.

Mesopotamia is a region of southwest Asia in the Tigris and Euphrates and is the beginning of civilization. Although humans settled in the Paleolithic Era, City States of Mesopotamia started to appear around 3200 BC. The first one is Uruk, a mud brick metropolis constructed with the riches from trade and conquest. At its peak, it had a population of 50,000 citizens.

Ancient Egyptian Empire was a civilization formed at the ancient North Africa, near the Nile river. It ruled for almost 30 centuries, from around 3100 BC to 332 BC. They were a preeminent civilization in the Mediterranean World. For its piramids and vast and rich culture, the Egyptian Empire made archaeologists and historians create a field of study all its own: Egyptology.

The City State of Sparta and Athens are two cities in the Greek Empire. Due to its terrain and proximity to the ocean, the Greek Empire created polis (city-state), which started about 750 BCE. Each polis were independently and often very different from one another. An example were Athens and Sparta:

While in the first, its population were dedicated to arts, architecture, literature, philosophy, science and history, Sparta were a militaristic population ruled by an oligarchy and two kings or a small group that practised political control.

Slav-nsk [51]

In order to determine the answer for this, we much look at the 4 factors of production: land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship. When it comes to industrialization, those nations that had these four capitals could easily follow suit. These were mostly those countries that were following the capitalist path.
