In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a wave of immigrants poured into America, seeking better opportunities and a new life. This influx of people from countries like Italy, Germany, and Ireland had a profound impact on both immigrants and native-born Americans. Immigrants faced challenges such as discrimination, poverty, and language barriers, but they also brought diversity, cultural richness, and a strong work ethic to the nation. Meanwhile, many Americans feared the newcomers would take their jobs, change their way of life, or threaten their culture. The tensions and interactions between immigrants and native-born Americans during this time period would shape the course of American history.
