Question 2 • World History and Geography

How did the construction of military bases during World War II impact local Indigenous and Hispanic communities in New Mexico?

Answer
A
It ensured that all local residents were employed in military-related jobs.
B
It resulted in the abandonment of local Indigenous and Hispanic cultures.
C
There was an increase in natural resources available to these communities.
D
Some lands were taken for military use, and the people were forced to relocate.

Explanation

Building military bases required large areas of land, and some of that land was taken from Indigenous and Hispanic communities in New Mexico. Residents were forced to relocate, so the impact described is the loss of land and displacement—not guaranteed employment or an increase in natural resources.
