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?
Responses
the forced migration in Mozambique due to Tropical Cyclone Idai
refugees migrating due to the Syrian Civil War
displacement due to conflict following the partition of India in 1947
migration from developing countries to the industrialized West since the 1960s
migration from developing countries to the industrialized West since the 1960s
The correct answer in this case would be "migration from developing countries to the industrialized West since the 1960s." Similar to the reasons for European migration to the United States in the 1800s, economic factors and failures in developing countries have often been a driving force behind migration to industrialized countries.
To determine which example occurred due to similar reasons as the European migration to the United States in the 1800s, we need to consider the factors mentioned in the question - industrial developments and failures at home.
The forced migration in Mozambique due to Tropical Cyclone Idai is primarily caused by natural disaster and not directly related to industrial developments or failures at home.
Refugees migrating due to the Syrian Civil War may have multiple factors contributing to their migration, but it is primarily driven by conflict and political instability rather than industrial developments and failures at home.
Displacement due to conflict following the partition of India in 1947 is a result of political and religious conflict rather than industrial developments and failures at home.
Migration from developing countries to the industrialized West since the 1960s could be more closely related as it involves people seeking better economic opportunities in more developed and industrialized countries. This example aligns with the idea of Europeans migrating to the United States in search of better economic prospects during the 1800s.
Therefore, the example that has occurred due to similar reasons as the European migration to the United States in the 1800s is migration from developing countries to the industrialized West since the 1960s.
