The development that caused large numbers of Jews to immigrate to the US in the 1880s was the rise of anti-Semitism and violence in Eastern Europe, particularly in the region known as the Pale of Settlement. Pogroms, which were organized attacks against Jewish communities, led to increased persecution and insecurity, prompting many Jews to seek safety and better opportunities in the US.
