Who won on the gold rush?

Various 'gold rush' events have occurred throughout the world at different times, but perhaps the most famous (and also most dramatic) swept North America in the mid-1800s. With the discovery of Gold in California in 1849, hundreds of thousands of fortune-seekers from all around the world 'rushed' to America's West Coast in order to find gold.

How did the baby boom happen?

During the Great Depression, the birthrate went down drastically b/c people could not afford to have babies. When WW2 began, it ended the depression and an economic boom began. As an effect, the birthrate shot up because people were prospering and could once again afford to have and take care of babies. The baby boom did not actually begin before the end of WW II. In the western world, the birth rate was in decline during the Great Depression and it remained quite low until the single men/women of the armed forces returned to civilian life and took spouses. The " Baby Boom " is generally regarded as the period from late 1946 to the early 60's -- a time of economic recovery that moved into unparalleled prosperity by the mid- '50s. That period coincided with the prime fertility years of those returning war veterans.
