How did employment change during the second industrial revolution​

History
1 answer:
AnnZ [28]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Labor is an indispensable source of economic production, and all other things being equal, more labor contributes to more economic production. During the second industrial revolution factories took full advantage of human labor but set aside workers rights. Following the technological revolutions of the early industrial age, large factories engaged in mass production, supplemented workshops and small foundries. The manufacturing sector expanded from 2.4 to 10 million workers and manufacturing employment grew more than twice as fast as the workforce as a whole from the years 1880 to 1920.

This era of industrial growth transformed American society creating a new class of wealthy entrepreneurs and a comfortable middle class. The increase in industry resulted in a growth among the blue-collar working class. This labor force was made up of millions of newly arrived immigrants and vast numbers of families migrating from rural areas to cities with the hope of job security and prosperity.

ASHA 777 [7]
I'm not positive but I think it was because of nuclear power where each country kept on acquiring more nuclear powers. Each country was trying to out power the other and this caused tensions to be higher since there was a risk of war.

34kurt

Answer:

The correct answer is A. The Americans' greatest military victory, ironically achieved after the War of 1812 had officially ended, was Andrew Jackson's defeat of a British invasion of New Orleans.

Explanation:

The Battle of New Orleans between the United States and Great Britain, which took place between December 23, 1814 and January 8, 1815, was the greatest battle of the War of 1812.

In late 1814 a British fleet of more than 50 ships sent by General Edward Pakenham, sailed into the Gulf of Mexico and prepared to attack New Orleans. The American general Andrew Jackson, commander of the American army that was in the southwest of the country, had his regiment composed mainly of militiamen and volunteers, with whom he fought against the British who suddenly attacked his position on January 8, 1815. The troops of Jackson effectively entrenched themselves behind the fortifications, while the English hosts were exposed, the fight being brief and ending in a decisive victory for the Americans, thus achieving British withdrawal and the death of General Pakenham.

The battle can be considered extemporaneous since the Treaty of Ghent that ended the war had been signed last December, but the report had been slow to arrive. The victory however raised national morale, improving Jackson's reputation to the level of a hero, which served as a platform for his path to the presidency.

4. What is the best definition of total war?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

D. A military strategy that destroys the enemy completely

Explanation:

Total war completely destroys the enemy because it is unrestricted, extremely violent, and very dangerous.

When a total war strategy is used, a country will use any weapons they can to defeat the enemy.

The laws of war may also be ignored, causing extra damage to civilians and infrastructure.

So, the correct answer is D. A military strategy that destroys the enemy completely.
