US Immigrants between 1900 and 1914?
953854
Jews from all over Europe....Irish, German and Italian....And some didn't necessarily come to make this a great country, like you hear so many here say....Remember all the Italian, Irish and Jewish gangs?

There is no 1901 census. I looked in the 1900 but did not find anything. If you would have listed a place it might have been easier to trace.\n\nSorry!

You can try this website.  It has a lot of current information - not sure how far back it will go for historical data.\n\nhttp://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/us.html\n\nor here is a link for data back to 1914... just use the links at the bottom to jump to different time periods.\nhttp://inflationdata.com/inflation/Inflation_Rate/HistoricalInflation.aspx?dsInflation_currentPage=2

The effect of immigration in the 1800's is what started every city in the west. Oregon was settled by mostly Russians and Germans in the 1800's . If there were no immigrants there would not be any of the cities that there are today. You have to remember anyone who isn't a descendant of a Native American Indian, Mayan or Aztec  is a descendant of an immigrant from across the ocean so that made everyone an immigrant back then.

In the 1990 census, 28% of the people of the US claimed at least one German anscestor and in the midwest it was closer to 38%. (This question wasn't in the 2000 census).  Many many American shave at least one German ancestor as the German immigration to the US started in 1625 (Germantown, PA) and really has never stopped.  I would think the preception and reception of a German immigrant would be welcoming, as it has been (well, there were some problems around WWI, but I think things are okay now.)

There were over a million Americans in World War I in 1918. Who are you looking for?

Lol at babo02350, The vikings where reaching the shores of northern America in the 12:th century. That was waaay back. \n\nAbout the emigration around between 1840's and 1880's, many left the country because of famine, poverty, differences between classes (the rich were very rich, the poor were very poor) and a lot of promises that all this would change in "the new country". \n\nUnfortunately it wasn't exactly true of course, that they would turn fortunate just by migrating. but I guess that's the reason people are willing to give up old lives even in these days, a strong belief in a better life can make people do most anything. \n\nA recommendation of a good novel about this time and the situation in the old country is The emigrants by Vilhelm Moberg. Very good book. \n\nhttp://www.amazon.com/Emigrants-Vilhelm-Moberg/dp/0873513193/sr=81/qid=1162417961/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-5385838-4746533?ie=UTF8&s=books\n\nOn this page there are some links that could help you with the question on contribution:\nhttp://www.migrationinstitute.fi/nordic/Links/Scandinavian%20Organizations.htm

Those are very different questions.\n\nThe first I'd say WWI, the widescale adoption of the automobile, the general rise of automation and the decline of small-plot agriculture, the great depression, the new deal, and WWII.\n\nThe second I'd say probably the loosening of immigration restictions, the exodus from Europe preceeding the two world wars, and the rise of the united states as a world superpower.

I'm German, Irish, and Austro-Hungarian (it gets kind of confusing because of the wars and whatnot that were redrawing boundaries in the early 1900s).

Considering immigration is likely how YOUR ancestors came to America, I'd say YOUR public school is one.\n\nIf you mean "recent" immigration, then the following:\n1) ESL (English as a Second Language)\n2) Multiple language testing\n3) Need for teachers to be bi-lingual

My ancestors arrived from Europe in the 18th century and gradually migrated west.  They went where land was offered free -- first to Iowa and then on to Nebraska, S. Dakota, Colorado, Oregon and California nearly always following the railroads.\nKnowing the routes they took and looking at what was happening at the time makes American history much more interesting. \nMy husband's family arrived in the Holland, Michigan area from The Netherlands in 1854 and many still live there.  We've met relatives still living in The Netherlands, and have learned a lot about Dutch history in the U.S.\nI wish I had known more about my ancestors when I was studying history in school.  Hopefully it will make history class more interesting for my grandchildren.\nThe word "here" makes me very curious on other posts.  I suspect it means "U.S."\nI'm glad to see "an ya's" post -- more people should be aware of the Armenian genocide!

This is an interesting question. The census bureau's website would probably be the best place to start. I do not know if they have all of their stats posted from decades past.

That would be very difficult for some of us mutts.  Portions of my family have been in America since the 1600's, and I am the product of many different cultures all coming together.
