Marina86 [1]3 years ago

World War II expanded African Americans' economic opportunities.

Due to the lack of manpower, since many men were in the front line, and with the country needing to increase its production to maintain the expenses of the war, World War II was a great opportunity for many African American enter the labor market in positions that until then were only obtained by white citizens.

Due to these reasons, from the entry of the United States into the war began the process called "Second Great Migration", by means of which many African American left their agricultural works to move to the northern cities of the country.

At the end of the Second Great Migration, African-Americans constituted a strongly urbanized group. More than 80% lived in cities and only 53% remained in the southern states of the USA, while 40% lived in the Northeast and the Great Lakes area and 7% in the West.

Although African Americans were offered jobs in the auxiliary industry during World War II they were often dangerous positions.

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

<u>The main reason was the dispute over the lands of the Native tribes. </u>

Explanation:

The governments of several states of the United States felt that the presence of the tribes was a threat to peace and security, because many Native Americans had fought against the United States in previous wars, often armed by foreign nations such as Great Britain and Spain. Other white settlers and land speculators simply wanted the land that was being occupied by the tribes. Therefore, these governments wanted all tribal lands within their borders to be placed under state jurisdiction.

How did the conquest of new lands most directly contribute to economic growth?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The conquest of new lands directly contributed to the economic growth of nations since through territorial expansion new territories were acquired that included within themselves enormous amounts of natural resources.

Thus, for example, the territorial expansion of Spain during the conquest of America allowed the Spanish Empire access to precious metals and different grains that contributed to the economic development of the nation and the well-being of its citizens.

Another example is that of the United States, which after the annexation of California was able to exploit the enormous gold reserves that were in the territory of the State.
