Identify and Explain several reasons people left their homelands to move to the United States.
Duriong the late 1800%26#039;s and early 1900%26#039;s, millions of people immigrated to the United States.?
This large immigration was due to the Industrial revolution. The industrial revolution was a result of the Agricultural revolution which created new styles of Farming which led to a greater food supply. Since the food supply was greater, people lived longer and had more children. The increase in population created a work force that needed jobs. This helped lead to the industrial revolution. The Industrial revolution led to urbanization. The Industrial revolution also led to a spark of medical revolution which created medicines and vaccines which kept people alive longer. So more people were being born, and they were living longer, so this led to overpopulation. During this time it was the age of Imperialism, this gave the over crowded countries a place to send people and help control the population. Some of these people, especialy from western Europe immigrated to the United states were there was open land that was easily affordable and so they immigrated. And this is what led to the
spike in Immigration in the late 1800%26#039;s and early 1900%26#039;s.
