Italian_Immigration

Italian Immigration Italians have migrated to the United States more than any other European group. Poverty and overpopulation started Italian emigration. Italy’s populations rose in the late 1800’s. Population numbers became severe, especially in some poor southern provinces of Italy. The Italian government was basically run by mostly northerners. The southerners were hurt by high taxes on northern industrial goods. Southerners also suffered from not having large amounts of good farming land, and a lack of coal and iron ore needed by industry. This all brought about poverty in southern Italy. This poverty in Italy started migrations to other countries. More Italians migrated to South American than to North America. The first Italian immigrants to the United States were the northern Italians. Later, larger amounts of migrants came from the south.
