that began with Europe's voyages of conquest and the establishment of colonies around the world.
In the modern period, Spain, Portugal, Britain, France, and the Netherlands establish colonies around the world. Settler migration also saw the relocation of European populations to overseas colonies primarily to extracting natural wealth and trade. During the 19th century, the largest migration stream was that between Europe and the United States, involving more than 33 million people between 1821 and 1920.
Forced migration from West and Central Africa followed earlier colonization, leading to about 14.5 million African arriving in the New World as slaves between the 17th and 19th centuries. The abolition of slavery saw an influx of destitute and hungry Chinese to European colonies.
