Answer:

The Great War, generally known as World War I, erupted in 1914 with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. His assassination triggered a European war that lasted until 1918. Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and the Ottoman Empire (the Central Powers) battled against the United Kingdom, France, Russia, Italy, Romania, Japan, and the United States during the war (the Allied Powers). World War I saw unparalleled rates of death and death due to new weapons technology and the horrors of trench warfare. By the time the war ended and the Allies declared victory, more than 16 million people had died, both soldiers and civilians.

The war began primarily as a result of four factors: militarism, alliances, imperialism, and nationalism. Because large militaries have become potential threats to other countries, some governments have begun to compel alliances in order to acquire land.

After 128 Americans were killed by a German submarine, the United States entered World War I. A German submarine sank the British passenger liner Lusitania in 1915. In total, 1,195 people, including 128 Americans, were killed. Americans were horrified and pressed the US government to join the war. President Woodrow Wilson desired a peaceful conclusion to the war, but when the Germans warned that their submarines would sink any ship approaching Britain, Wilson declared that America would enter the war and bring peace to Europe. On April 6, 1917, the United States entered the war.

What factor influenced African Americans to migrate from the South to Northern cities?
Afina-wow [57]

The main factor that influenced African Americans to migrate from the South to Northern cities was that they were looking for better economic opportunities.

The Great Migration, also known as the Great Northward Migration in the 20th century, happened because most black people were badly treated by many people that still expected African Americans to be slaves, and their economic conditions were quite poor.

As a result, African Americans decided to migrate to the Northern cities, where they would get many job opportunities as well as going to have a better lifestyle by not being discriminated.

King referenced that “America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as its citizens of color are concerned.” What is he
Goshia [24]

King used a financial metaphor to refer to the lack of compliance with the civil rights that the Declaration of Independence and the Reconstruction Amendments to the US Constitution (14th and 15th) included for all US citizens, without discrimination in terms of race.

King aimed to express that the US still owed, to its black citizens, the defaulted "promissory note" that Martin Luther King Jr. had mentioned and demanded in his remarkable "I have a Dream" speech, delivered in 1963. Instead of guaranteeing the promised rights of life, of freedom, and of the pursuit of happiness, black people had received a black check, one with no funds on it and were still waiting for the payment of such debt.
