Question

how did the increase in refugees due to world war i affect european economies? a. stock markets fluctuated rapidly as refugees invested their savings into new businesses. b. political leaders rallied refugees to support revolutionary keynesian economic policies. c. governments were forced to pay for food and shelter for poor refugees in their countries. d. businesses benefited from employing highly skilled refugees from foreign countries.

Explanation:

WWI refugees were largely displaced with limited resources, so host European governments had to allocate funds for their basic survival needs, straining national budgets and economies. Option A is incorrect as most refugees lacked savings to invest. Option B is wrong because Keynesian policies became prominent post-WWII, not WWI. Option D is inaccurate as the majority of WWI refugees were not highly skilled, and this was not a widespread economic impact.

Answer:

C. Governments were forced to pay for food and shelter for poor refugees in their countries.
