Of the 30 million persons who migrated to the United States between 1870 and 1940, the majority came from the lands of the old three European empires in Central and Eastern Europe: Austria-Hungary, Germany, and Russia. The workshop was designed to help teachers understand some of the international and transnational history of the Central and Eastern European migrants, as well as the history of the era of mass international migration to the United States.
