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:

During World War I, the influx of refugees meant that European governments had to allocate resources to provide basic necessities like food and shelter for the poor refugees within their countries. This had a direct impact on government - spending and thus on the economies. Option A is not the main economic impact as refugee - led investment in new businesses was not a major factor. Option B is incorrect as there is no evidence of political leaders rallying refugees for Keynesian economic policies. Option D is not the main impact as the employment of highly - skilled refugees was not the primary economic effect of the refugee influx.

Answer:

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