Which of the following were direct consequences of South Africa’s involvement in WW2?

Question

Industrialization and urbanization
Industrialization
Industrialization, urbanization, food rationing, and the start of apartheid
Industrialization, urbanization, and food rationing

Answer 1

The correct option is: Industrialization, urbanization, food rationing, and the start of apartheid.

South Africa's involvement in World War II led to significant industrialization due to the demand for war supplies, which in turn contributed to urbanization as people moved to cities for work. Additionally, food rationing was implemented during the war, and the social changes that emerged during and after the war laid some groundwork for the development of the apartheid system in the years that followed.
