Which of the following forms a theory explaining the Great Atlantic Migration?
environmental pull factors in the U.S. held a desirable climate
economic push factors in Europe resulting from crop failures
political push factors in Europe due to governmental instability
economic pull factors in Europe due to industrial growth
All of the above factors can contribute to explaining the Great Atlantic Migration. However, the most direct and specific factor that forms a theory explaining the Great Atlantic Migration is economic push factors in Europe resulting from crop failures.
Analyze the following scenario and determine the reason for migration. In 1947, the British ended their colonial presence with the partition of India. As a result, some 17 million individuals were displaced.
forced economic migration
forced environmental migration
voluntary economic migration
forced political migration
Based on the scenario provided, the reason for migration would be forced political migration. The partition of India in 1947 resulted in the displacement of approximately 17 million individuals. The end of British colonial presence and the subsequent partition led to widespread violence, religious tensions, and conflicts between Hindus and Muslims. People were forced to leave their homes and migrate to areas that aligned with their religious identity, resulting in forced political migration.
The Industrial Revolution created migration due to which factors?
social factors
political factors
economic factors
environmental factors
The Industrial Revolution created migration primarily due to economic factors. The rapid industrialization and mechanization of industries led to the transformation of rural agrarian societies into urbanized, industrialized societies. This shift resulted in a demand for laborers in factories, mines, and other industrial settings. People migrated from rural areas to cities and towns in search of employment opportunities and better wages.
While the Industrial Revolution did have some impact on social factors, such as changes in social structure and urbanization, and also on political factors, like labor movements and political unrest, the primary driving force for migration during this period was the economic opportunities that arose as a result of industrialization.
Environmental factors were not a significant catalyst for migration during the Industrial Revolution, although the rapid urbanization and pollution caused by industrialization did lead to overcrowding and poor living conditions in cities, which may have indirectly influenced some migrations.
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?
the forced migration in Mozambique due to Tropical Cyclone Idai
displacement due to conflict following the partition of India in 1947
refugees migrating due to the Syrian Civil War
migration from developing countries to the industrialized West since the 1960s
