Detailed explanation-1: -The countries in the Americas that received a major wave of European immigrants from 1820s to the early 1930s were: the United States (32.5 million), Argentina (6.5 million), Canada (5 million), Brazil (4.5 million), Venezuela (2.2 million), Cuba (1.3 million), Chile (728, 000), Uruguay (713, 000).
Detailed explanation-2: -All in all, the period from 1865 through 1914, when immigration was not restricted and steamships were dominant, saw an average yearly immigrant volume of almost 529, 000. In contrast, average yearly immigration between 1820 and 1860 via sailing ship was only 123, 000, and even between 1847 and 1860 was only 266, 000.
