Polish immigrants began coming to the United States in large numbers in the late 19th century mainly driven by economic and political reasons. The industrial revolution in Europe created a demand for workers and Poles were particularly desperate to find work due to a series of military defeats political unrest and economic hardship in their homeland. Additionally the promise of religious and political freedom in the United States was very attractive to Poles seeking to escape oppressive regimes in Europe.
