Between 1492 and 1930 it is estimated that over 60 million Europeans emigrated to the Americas. This wave reached its crest during the late 19th-and early 20th centuries, as a series of economic, agricultural, and social upheavals led to more Europeans seeking better lives on the other side of the Atlantic. The effects of this migration are many and include the near-total annihilation of the Indigenous populations and led to the beginning of a globalization trend which has had profound effects on commerce, culture, and geopolitics.
