Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The great wave of immigration to the USA in the late 19th and early 20th century consisted mainly of South and Eastern Europeans, such as Italians, Poles, and Russians, as well as Jews fleeing persecution in Eastern Europe. While there were also immigrants from Western Europe, they did not make up the majority of the wave. Free Africans were not a significant part of this immigration wave, and Chinese immigration was restricted due to the Chinese Exclusion Act. Non-Chinese Asians, such as Indians and Filipinos, were present but in much smaller numbers compared to South and Eastern Europeans.
