Answer:

Between around 1880 and 1924, more than four million Italians immigrated to the United States, half of them between 1900 and 1910 alone—the majority fleeing grinding rural poverty in Southern Italy and Sicily.

Answer: Natural disasters

Explanation: Many people from the Southern part of Italy immigrated to the U.S. between 1880 and 1920 because of natural disasters. Natural disasters happened in southern Italy in early 1900. Mount Vesuvius exploded and destroyed a town close to Naples. Mount Etna also erupted. In 1908, tidal wave and an earthquake in the Strait of Messina, killing thousands of people.

Land shortage, famine, rising taxes, and crop failures are some of the other reasons Italians immigrated in America to get the economic opportunity.

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

There are tons of consequences

Explanation:

For starters, huge swathes of land were utterly devastated from the fighting, many countries were divided up between the allies (i.e Germany, Korea).

Also, the Americans and Soviets began competing over which system was better (capitalism or communism?) which only furthered world tensions and damage. The war also left many economies devastated from putting so much into their militaries.

Many population centers were completely obliterated (70 - 80 million casualties in ww2). And in many countries new dictators and tyrants were able to take over and just make life worse for their already struggling people.
