Abstract

Beginning in the late 19th century, the industrialization of Britain, the United States, and France brought a large number of jobs to the world, while Italy was facing a domestic economic recession, and Italians came to the United States in search of employment with a wave of immigrants. Since the Mediterranean region is mostly islands, there have been frequent population exchanges between ancient Greece and Rome since the ancient city-state period, and there is also the practice of population movement between the north and the south within Italy. However, there is fewer data on Italian migration since before the 18th century, and research on Italy since the 19th century has focused on Italian economic issues, as this is something that many European countries can learn from. This paper will provide an overview of the trends and causes of Italian emigration in the context of the political and cultural context of Italy and the United States from the early 20th century to the post-World War II period.
