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 (e.g., Fordney-McCumber Tariff) imposed higher tariffs on foreign imports to shield domestic industries, which is a direct feature of such policies. Option A is incorrect as European inflation stemmed more from war reparations; C is wrong because the US saw inflation, not deflation; D is incorrect as immigration was restricted then.

Answer:

B. higher taxes on foreign imports
