During World War I, a significant number of immigrants came to the United States from various countries, but the largest groups were from Europe. Notably, many immigrants fled the turmoil caused by the war and sought refuge or better opportunities in the U.S. Nations such as Italy, Germany, and Austria-Hungary contributed to this influx, as people sought to escape conflict and instability in their home countries. This Immigration wave helped shape the demographic and cultural landscape of the United States during and after the war.
