Question

select the correct answer.
what was one effect of the us protectionism policy after world war i?
a. inflation in europe and asian countries
b. higher taxes on foreign imports
c. deflation in the united states
d. increased migration to the united states

Explanation:

US protectionism post-WWI, like the Smoot-Hawley Tariff, raised import taxes (option B is the policy itself, not an effect). These tariffs reduced European access to US markets, crippling their ability to earn dollars to repay war debts, leading to currency devaluation and inflation in Europe/Asia. US deflation did not stem from this policy, and migration to the US was restricted by laws like the Immigration Act of 1924.

Answer:

A. inflation in Europe and Asian countries
