Item Migration from Germany to the United States in the 19th century(Siegen University, 2011) Klotz, Anna-Lena; Kuhn, Bärbel; Guse, Klaus-Michael; Homrighausen, Sahra; Fenske, Uta; Heck, VolkerAt the end of the 19th century Germany became an immigration destination country. Until that time people rather emigrated from it – mainly because of socio-economic reasons. In times of crisis, more and more people emigrated. During the 19th century there were three waves of emigration: a) the years after the 1848 revolution, b) 1865-1874/75 and c) in the 1880s: 1880-1894. The United States was the country most of the migrants wanted to go to.Item Migration from Germany to the USA in the 19th century – the situation in the USA(Siegen University, 2011) Kuhn, Bärbel; Guse, Klaus-Michael; Homrighausen, Sahra; Fenske, Uta; Heck, VolkerThe pupils learn something about the conditions in the USA with which migrants were confronted.
