Analysis of the great Atlantic migration identifies industrial developments and failures at home as factors in European migration to the United States in the 1800s. Which of the following examples has occurred due to similar reasons?
A. displacement due to conflict following the partition of India in 1947
B. immigration from developing countries to the industrialized West since the 1960s
C. refugees immigrating due to Syrian Civil War
D. The forced migration in Mozambique due to Tropical Cyclone Idai
B. immigration from developing countries to the industrialized West since the 1960s.
The correct answer is B. Immigration from developing countries to the industrialized West since the 1960s. Similar to the European migration to the United States in the 1800s, this example involves people from developing countries seeking better economic opportunities in industrialized Western countries due to industrial developments and failures at home.
To determine which example has occurred due to similar reasons as the European migration to the United States in the 1800s, we need to consider the factors of industrial developments and failures at home.
A. Displacement due to conflict following the partition of India in 1947: This example is primarily focused on political and religious conflicts, rather than industrial developments and failures at home. Therefore, it is unlikely to be the correct answer.
B. Immigration from developing countries to the industrialized West since the 1960s: This example aligns with the idea of people moving from underdeveloped regions to industrialized countries, which can be seen as similar to the European migration to the United States in terms of seeking better economic opportunities. This answer could be a potential match.
C. Refugees immigrating due to the Syrian Civil War: While the Syrian Civil War has resulted in significant displacement and immigration, the primary reasons are rooted in political and humanitarian factors rather than industrial developments and failures at home. Thus, it is less likely to be the correct answer.
D. The forced migration in Mozambique due to Tropical Cyclone Idai: This example is primarily a result of a natural disaster rather than industrial developments or failures at home. Hence, it is not directly comparable to the European migration in the 1800s.
Based on the analysis, option B, immigration from developing countries to the industrialized West since the 1960s, appears to be the most aligned example due to the similarity of people seeking better economic opportunities in industrialized countries.
