It is the year 1900. You and your family are in Europe and wish to emigrate to the new world for better opportunities. What signs tell you that going to North America will lead to better outcomes than South America?

It depends on the ethnicity. My relatives didn’t get American passports quickly enough & their businesses were expropriated during WWI & allegedly handed over to their competitors. So going to Argentina might have been the better option.

Germans. As far as I’ve heard, bakeries in NYC.

Man... Didn’t know there was anti-German persecution during WW1 in the USA. Does this explain why there is a large contingent of Germans in South America or is that a post WW2 thing?
