There was a great raise of immigrants from Europe to America in the late 1800s. There were many reasons why the people immigrated to America. One being the opportunities in America, and crisis in their own countries.

The people who came to America mostly came from the countries and regions of Europe are Great Britain, Ireland, and Scandinavia, but some came also from southern and eastern Europe and even some from Asia. All the people that migrated from Europe and Asia used boats to cross the great Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The Europeans took the route across the Atlantic ocean to immigrate to America landing on the east coast cities of America like New York, but the Asians took the route across the Pacific ocean and arrived in the west coast cities of America.

When the Immigrants arrive in America they are tested for their health before entering America in immigration processing centers such as Ellis Island in New york.

The reason why many Europeans came to America in the late 1800s is because of Europe’s many crises and the rising economy of America. In Europe, in the late 1800s, there were famines, wars, and social upheaval in Europe such as the Irish Potato famine and the Franco-Prussian War which cause many to seek refuge in America. In America, in the late 1800s, there was an economic boom and increasing prosperity because of the great Industrialization revolution and the peace America had and vast lands filled with natural riches that was untouched caused America to be a land of opportunity where anybody that wants to work hard to go ahead in life will likely succeed made an allure that many Europeans cannot resist causing millions to immigrate to America.

Many people in Europe and in Asia came to America because of the troubles of their homeland or the opportunity in America or both they came in great masses to America to seek a better life.
