Fate of German Emigrants in America

Reason why?

Individuals around the globe migrate for a broad variety of reasons, which can be put in two general terms: “push” and '“pull” factors.

“Push” factors are conditions in migrants’ home countries that make it difficult or even impossible to live there.
“pull” factors are the situation and the possibilities in the destination country that make it a more attractive place to live than their home countries.
