What areas of Europe were reduced as the result of the 1924 Immigration Act (Johnson-Reed Act)?

  1. Northern and Western Europe

  2. Central and Northern Europe

  3. Eastern and Southern Europe

  4. Western and Southern Europe

The correct answer is: Eastern and Southern Europe

The correct answer is C, Eastern and Southern Europe. The 1924 Immigration Act, also known as the Johnson-Reed Act, aimed to restrict the immigration of Southern and Eastern Europeans to the United States. The quotas set by the Act favored immigrants from Northern and Western Europe over those from Southern and Eastern Europe, leading to a significant reduction in the number of immigrants from these regions. This legislation reflected the prevailing sentiment at the time that favored immigrants from certain parts of Europe while limiting those from others.
