Answer 1

The Watts riots of 1965 resulted in 34 deaths, many wounded, and extensive property damage, highlighting systemic racial injustices and frustrations.

Step-by-step explanation:

The result of the Watts riots of 1965 was that thirty-four people died, many others were wounded, thousands of businesses were destroyed, and the bulk of the casualties were African Americans killed by police and the National Guard. These riots were a response to rampant racism, police brutality, and the systematic discrimination and segregation faced by African Americans in urban areas.
