    War among European nations erupted when

    • Kaiser Wilhelm expanded Germany's navy

    • Russia sent troops to Serbia

    Correct Answer
    A. Archduke Ferdinand was killed
    Explanation
    The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand was a significant trigger for the outbreak of war among European nations. His assassination in 1914 by a Serbian nationalist sparked a chain of events that led to the start of World War I. Austria-Hungary, seeking retribution for the assassination, issued an ultimatum to Serbia, which eventually led to a declaration of war. This event caused a domino effect, as various alliances and rivalries between European nations were activated, leading to a widespread conflict that engulfed the continent.

    WWI weapons were considered advanced because they

    • Hit targets more precisely

    • Cost more than previous weapons

    • Weighed less than older weapons

    • Inflicted harm on a large scale

    Correct Answer
    A. Inflicted harm on a large scale
    Explanation
    WWI weapons were considered advanced because they inflicted harm on a large scale. This means that they had the capability to cause significant damage and casualties, surpassing the destructive power of previous weapons. The advancements in technology and firepower during WWI led to the development of more efficient and devastating weapons, such as machine guns, artillery, and poison gas. These weapons had a profound impact on the battlefield, causing widespread destruction and loss of life, and therefore were seen as advanced in terms of their ability to inflict harm.

    The Great Migration of WWI refers to

    • African-Americans moving north

    • African-Americans moving south

    • Germans moving to the U.S.

    • Germans moving to Allied countries

    Correct Answer
    A. African-Americans moving north
    Explanation
    During World War I, many African-Americans migrated from the southern states to the northern states in search of better job opportunities and to escape racial discrimination. This movement is known as the Great Migration of WWI. The northern states offered industrial jobs in cities like Chicago, Detroit, and New York, which attracted African-Americans looking for employment. Additionally, the north was seen as a place where they could have more political and social freedom compared to the Jim Crow laws and racial violence prevalent in the south. This migration had a significant impact on African-American communities and contributed to the growth of the civil rights movement.
