Changing Immigration — Unit test

Question 18 • RMA FL-2100310-United States History Semester 2

How did the Vietnam War affect immigration to the United States in the 1970s?

Answer

Asian immigration increased because many Vietnamese people escaped the chaos and violence after the war.

Only a few children emigrated from Vietnam because families of US service personnel faced restrictive policies.

War refugees were kept from entering the country because they were considered illegal immigrants.

Fewer Vietnamese people were interested in immigrating to the United States in the wake of the war.

Explanation

After the Vietnam War ended in 1975, many Vietnamese people fled the country amid political upheaval and violence. The United States accepted large numbers of Vietnamese refugees, increasing Asian immigration during the 1970s.
