Answer:

The strike spread to Latin America and Europe.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Great Railroad Strike of 1877 did not spread to Latin America and Europe. It was confined to the United States, especially in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York, Illinois, and Missouri.

It was put out violently by state militias and the National Guard, and over 100 people were killed.
