Anna [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was the first significant law restricting immigration into the United States. Many Americans on the West Coast attributed declining wages and economic ills to Chinese workers. Although the Chinese composed only .002 percent of the nation's population, Congress passed the exclusion act to placate worker demands and assuage prevalent concerns about maintaining white "racial purity."

How did the spanish contact with the Incas drive the development of capitalism in europe?
baherus [9]
The reason why spanish contact with Incas drove capitalism in Europe is multifold. After being exposed to the riches of the Incas empire, more and more ships were created in Europe (introducing more producers of ships and shipping supplies, etc.) because more and more people wanted to go to the New world themselves and exploit the riches that were available there.

Some notable things were how he managed to survive through storms on his ship in the ocean. But most notable of all was when his journals were published in a book on 1612, it showed the English what the world was. It also convinced them to be colonists- so they went, and the place where they went is now called Chesapeake.
