Why were the 1970s a period of discomfort for many Americans?

History
1 answer:
denis-greek [22]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The 1970s were a period of discomfort for many Americans because of stagflation and unemployment.

Explanation:

As a consequence of the 1973 oil crisis, it emerged as Arab revenge for American and Western support for Israel in the Yom Kippur War.

Through a cessation of production and supply, OPEC generated an exponential rise in the price of oil, the main raw material on which the western economies, mainly the United States, were based. With the rise in oil prices, the remaining prices of raw materials rose, due to the increase in transportation costs. This generated inflation, which in turn caused many companies, due to high costs, to cut wages, generating in turn a situation of economic stagnation at the social level. In other words, the population began to earn less money and spend more to buy the same products. This process, called stagflation (stagnation and inflation).

Were the ‘’new’’ countries created in Africa after colonization really ‘’new Countries?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The new countries created after colonization were in fact new countries.

Explanation:

As you may already know, colonization created new frontiers across the African continent, which allowed the creation of new countries that did not exist before colonization. These borders were maintained after colonization which allowed the creation of new countries, but not only that. Colonization promoted a mixture of cultures and customs that differentiated the African people to the point that it was not possible to unite them in a single country, even if the borders were redrawn. This mixture of cultures and customs created even more differences among African peoples, strengthening the creation of new countries after colonization.
