Middle Eastern and North African in the US

Question 5 • CA-Ethnic Studies CR

Which conflict was one reason for the third wave of Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) immigration from the 1970s to the 1990s?

Answer
A
the Falklands War
B
the Lebanese Civil War
C
the Yugoslav Wars
D
the Cold War

Explanation

The Lebanese Civil War began in 1975 and displaced many people, contributing to MENA immigration to the United States during the 1970s through the 1990s. The Falklands War and Yugoslav Wars were not major causes of MENA immigration, and the Cold War is too broad to identify the specific conflict asked about. The answer is the Lebanese Civil War.
