Answer:

Option: D. Companies replaced hand-operated brakes with air brakes on trains.

Explanation:

In the early period, trains manually stopped by involving in hand-operated breaks. The handbrake worked by handling large wheel in the coach, attached to chains and levers which set brake pads under the train. To improve the safety of the rail coach, air breaks replaced because they were much more powerful and reliable, than the manual one.

The correct answer is option D. "Companies replaced hand-operated brakes with air brakes on trains". The development of air brakes on trains was a significant improvement of railroad safety. Air brakes function much more faster than hand-operated brakes, because hand-operated brakes required that the brakemen turned the brakes in one car and jump to the next to set the brakes on, and so on.

How did world war 1 continue to have an impact on capitalism in the post-war era
yanalaym [24]

Explanation:

Capitalists didn't want WWI; it was a disaster for finance but the war was a disaster for investors, with stock exchanges closed and trade disrupted, while inflation and repudiation wiped out holders of government debt. And The changes brought about by the First World War, often regarded as “total war”, certainly seemed unprecedented. Millions had died violent deaths, leaving postwar societies hollowed out of young men, and millions more returned from war physically and/or psychologically damaged.

Choose the items that CORRECTLY describe an aspect of the Great Migration in early 20th Century U.S. History.
hoa [83]

Answer:

These statements are correct:

  • World War I and its impact in the U.S. was a major influence on the Great Migration - World War I helped boost industry in the northern cities (both world wars impacted industry positively in the U.S.), and this accelerated the pace of the migration of African Americans from the South.
  • The Harlem Renaissance is seen as a result of the Great Migration - During the Great Migration, many African Americans emigrated to Harlem. A majority of them had benefited from the end of slavery, for example, they had become literate, and this higher rate of literacy helped the cultural movement.
  • Manufacturing and industrial jobs were a major draw for people in the Great Migration - it was probably the main draw. The South war rural, poorer, and African Americans were treated poorly there despite not being slaves anymore. The North and Midwest, on the other hand, were industrial, booming, and wealthier, and African Americans went there looking for jobs and a better life.
