IMMIGRANTS, 1895–1929

Color-shaded arrows show immigration from seven different regions (Africa, Australia and Oceania, Asia, northern and western Europe, North America, South America, and eastern and southern Europe), with the thickness of each arrow representing the relative number of immigrants coming from that region (the thicker the arrow, the greater the number of immigrants). Countries that had more than a million immigrants are boldfaced and in capital letters; countries with less than a million are regular type and in title case. A graph and pie charts at the bottom changes in the number and origin of immigrants from 1820 to 1929.
