Immigration waves are large groups of people moving from one country to another at the same time. These waves often happen for reasons like escaping war, seeking better jobs, or reuniting with family. For example, in the early 1900s, many people from Europe came to the United States to find new opportunities. They traveled on ships and settled in cities like New York and Chicago. Each wave of immigrants brought their own cultures, foods, and traditions, making America a diverse place. Understanding immigration waves helps us learn about how our country has changed over time.
