Best Answer

France and Spain in Europe, Mexico in Latin America, and California and Nevada in the United States of America are places where the Basque people can be found.

Specifically, the Basque homeland can be found on either side of the borders to southwestern France and northwestern Spain. Particularly in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), many Basque emigrants escaped to join relatives who previously had settled in California and Nevada during the late nineteenth century. Other Basque emigrants settled in Mexico, a country that welcomed exiles and refugees in the aftermath of its own bloody revolutions of 1910 onward.
