As a result of the improvements in transportation after the Industrial Revolution, long-distance migrations increased in the 19th century. Between 1846 and 1940 some 55 millions of migrants moved from Europe to America. 65% went to the United States. Other major receiving countries were Argentina, Canada, Brazil and Cuba. Also 2.5 million Asians migrated to America, most as indentured servant to the plantations of the Caribbean, but some also, notably Japanese, arrived in Brazil and the USA. (Adam [McKeown]Create?. 'Global migrations, 1846-1940' in Journal of World History. June 2004.)
