Where is Immigration from 1880 until 1914 mainly from?
Prior to 1880, a large majority of immigrants came from Great Britain, Germany, or Scandinavia. After 1880, northern and western Eruopean nations continued to send immigrants to the US but "new immigrants" began arriving from southern Italy, Turkey, Greece, Slavic, Hungarian, and Rumanian parts of the Austro-Hungaian Empire, and from Russia, Poland, and other southern European areas. In 1921, Congress enacted a law limiting annual immigration to the US to 350,000 people per year. Each year, European nations could send to the US a number equal to 3 percent of its nationals who were in the US in the year 1910. In 1924, Congress amended the immigration law and reduced the number of immigrants to 150,000, and the quota to 2 percent, and the base year to 1890. This law favored immigration from nations like Great Britain, but discriminated against central and eastern European nations like Poland, Russia and Syria.
