Explanation:

Hello!

“California gold rush” was a social phenomenon that occurred between 1847 and 1855, which was characterized by the large number of people who traveled to California with the intention of becoming rich, through the exploitation of gold.

Most of the miners of the first wave got good profits, but only a few of them became rich. The miners who arrived later were not so lucky.

The most noticeable consequence of this event was that the large influx of people favored rapid growth in the city of San Francisco.
