Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anti-Chinese agitation was particularly pronounced during the 1870s and 1880s, which was the peak period for Chinese immigration to the United States. This led to the passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882, which restricted Chinese immigration and citizenship rights. While there were also instances of anti-Chinese sentiment during other periods, such as World War II and the Cold War era, the strongest and most sustained opposition was during the late 19th century.
