Question

1. most jewish immigrants from the 1880s to the 1920s were fleeing which of the following?

revolutions in germany
political oppression in eastern europe
nazi persecution in germany
persecution by the king of spain

Explanation:

• "revolutions in Germany": The major German revolutions relevant to Jewish immigration weren't the main push 1880–1920.
• "political oppression in Eastern Europe": In the 1880s–1920s, Eastern Europe (e.g., Russia, Poland) had widespread antisemitic policies, pogroms, and political oppression targeting Jews, driving immigration.
• "Nazi persecution in Germany": Nazis rose to power in the 1930s, so this is outside the 1880–1920 timeframe.
• "persecution by the King of Spain": Spanish persecution of Jews (e.g., Inquisition) was much earlier, not in the 1880–1920 period.

Answer:

B. political oppression in Eastern Europe
