The history of the world is filled with stories of people migrating. Migration is the movement of people from one place to another as they
seek a new home. Famine, overpopulation, limited resources, war, and religious and political persecution "push" immigrants to move to
another country. Hopes for employment and a better life "pull" immigrants to new places.
Millions have migrated to North America since the 1500s. Spanish, French, English, and Dutch immigrants were the first European
settlers to establish permanent colonies. They settled in lands originally populated by people from Asia. Many people from Africa were
driven from their homes at this time to be enslaved to work in colonies in the Americas.
Throughout the 1800s, immigrants looking for employment came to North America from Japan, China, and southeastern Europe. In the
1970s and 1980s, Southeast Asians, Latin Americans, and Caribbeans migrated to North America. Many of these immigrants fled from
war-torn countries, political persecution, and economic difficulties.
