Document A. Italian Migration to the Americas
Although Argentina and the United States were the two primary countries of Italian immigration in the Americas between 1880 and 1914, the flows of Italian migrants to their shores differed over time. It was Brazil and Argentina that initially were the primary targets of Italian migrants, with the United States running a poor third. In the 1870s, and through most of the 1880s, Argentina was the primary zone of reception. By the late 1880s, with the abolition of slavery and the massive shift to subsidized Italian workers in the expanding coffee fields of Sao Paulo, Brazil temporarily emerged as the primary immigration zone despite the steady increase in Italian migration to both the United States and Argentina.
