5.4 I: Migration in many cases was influenced by changes in demography in both industrialized and un industrialized societies that presented challenges to existing patterns of living.
A: Changes in food production and improved medical conditions contributed to a significant global rise in population in both urban and rural areas.
1) This means that more food and improved health leads to a population boom. This causes places in urban and rural areas to become crowded with all the people. Some families had to relocate to have a new, better life.
B: Because of the nature of the new modes of transportation, both internal and external migrants increasingly relocated to cities. This pattern contributed to the significant global urbanization of the 19th century. The new methods of transportation also allowed for many migrants to return, periodically or permantnently, to their home societies.
1) Japanese agricultural workers in the Pacific were allowed to come home.
2) Christian Lebanese merchants in the Americas moved there to make money in trade without dealing with Ottoman restrictions on non-Muslims. They moved to areas of opportunity expecting to prosper and eventually return home.
3) Italian industrial workers in Argentina could return home to Italy for a period, if not, permanently.
Tomorrow, we'll finish up 5.4. See you then!
