Answer:

2. The semicolon joins two related independent clauses.

Explanation:

One of the functions of semicolons is to link two independent clauses that are closely related but that are not linked with a conjunction like and, but, or, nor, for, yet, or so. An independent clause is a group of words that have at least a subject and a verb and that express a complete thought on its own, such as the clauses "Leticia has to leave early this afternoon" and "she has a doctor's appointment."

In that sentence, the semicolon is used to join those two independent clauses that are closely related.

How did economic depression after WW1 affect governments in latin america
3241004551 [841]
Latin America was suffering greatly from their decrease in exports. World trade was also decreasing. This meant that Latin America was not getting the money they needed to run their countries and keep stable governments. People began mass protests against the governments, and military coups were attempted and many were successful. These newly formed governments found it very difficult to run their countries as a result of the state of instability the countries were already in.
