When African Americans<span> fought in WWII they were treated by the French (and others as well) with respect and did not feel as though they were being segregated. Therefore when they came back to the states they was a rise in militancy from the African American veterans. Although during the 1940's the United States was occupied with the Cold War it was not until 1955 that the civil right movement had began, leading to African American's challenging the court with issues such as Brown vs. </span>Board of education<span> in 1954. The movement as whole involved non-violent protests. </span>
The correct answer is indeed A) kept interest rates low.
Ok, let me try to resume.
When the central bank injects reserves, it encourages banks to lend out money at lower interest, attracting borrowers for this money and leading entrepreneurs to invest, once the higher interest rates would not be profitable. Interest rates coordinate savers and investors action. Investment requires resources to be frozen rather than consumed, meaning that less spending by the population reflects more resources available to fund these investments, resulting in a lower rate of interest.
When interest rates are pushed down by creating new money, the lower interest rate is not a representation of genuine savings by the public, it is artificially low. Increased business activity consumes resources while the population also keeps consuming more, causing a "tug-of-war" for resources between longer and shorter processes. When prices and interest eventually starts to rise, entrepreneurs find out their investment aren't actually profitable with these rates and are unable to complete the projects they started. This is the economic bubble, when the real economy can't withstand the perceived economy.
Now, finally going back into the answer.
During the late 1920s rates were kept artificially low by the Federal Reserve, sparking a boom, specially in the stock market, with prices rising up to 50 percent quickly. In 1929, once the government started tightening credit to cool down the overheated stock market it produced, the burst happened, leading the country into the Great Depression.
Sorry for the long explanation, hope you understand the concept ;)
The spread of Greek culture throughout most of the ancient world
Although Alexander the Great's kingdom did not last for long, his influence did. This is because the Greek were able to spread their culture throughout Europe and Asia. The Greek culture mixed with other civilization to for the Hellenistic culture that spread around Europe
1. Upton Sinclair's <em>The Jungle</em> was originated from a cover story of the meat-workers strike of 1904, Chicago. The main purpose was to expose the exploitation of the workers by the Beef Trust, but it also showed the horrific meatpacking practices that produced the food. So the Meat Inspection Act of 1906 was passed, by which all of the animals must have been inspected before and after the slaughter by Government officials.
2. C. Limiting the number of immigrants entering the U.S. was not a concern of the progressive movement.
