As for NYC metro

I'm surprised the numbers from

Guyana 171,110

Being that is such a small county.




https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guyana

Population
• 2016 estimate
773,303 (165th)


The largest ethnic group is the Indo-Guyanese (also known as East Indians), the descendants of indentured servants from India, who make up 43.5% of the population, according to the 2002 census.

Vast majority of Guyanese in NYC are Indian - and they overwhelmingly live in Queens.

Well I figured as much the ethnicity of immigrants moving, are they are the majority of the country as I stated. That's a hell of a lot of out migration from the said small country. Its the only country in South America that is majority east Indian and that in itself is an anomaly.

Indo-Guyanese (also known as East Indians), the descendants of indentured servants from India,



Its still a very small country in population.

I wonder the Indo-Guyanese population for the entire county, it could be a quarter of all living there now. I

I know several families in Chicagoland from Guyana that are Indian ethnically myself. They are not highly educated like the most of the Indian/Packi that usually arrive ready to go and work as a doctor or at a high tech company from the get go though.

NYC's metro has the largest population of people from Guyana, more than any other in the World outside of Guyana (2nd is Toronto & 3rd is a toss up between London & Miami) -- it also has the largest from many other relatively small countries like Barbados, Grenada, Saint Vincent & the Grenadines, Dominica, Trinidad & Tobago (which also has a large Indian population) & Jamaica.

@ bnk, actually Guyana isn't the only country in South America where East Indians are the majority or at least the largest ethnic group -- it's similar in Suriname. It was once as high as 37.6% now it's around 28% but like Guyana it also has a large Black population and unlike Guyana there's also a large Indonesian population & that is but one of the anomalies in South America the other would be Hmong in French Guiana.

...and now we travel back to Europe to the country of Austria!

..but first a historical overview as presented to you by: austria.org

"Antiquity

The Alpine lands and the fertile plains of the Danube Valley had already been settled in prehistoric times. Rich deposits of mineral resources, especially salt and iron, facilitated the development of a prosperous Celtic population, which by the 1st century BC had become an important trading partner of the neighbouring Roman Empire. Around the time of the birth of Christ, this Noric kingdom was absorbed by the Romans and became an imperial province along with the other parts of present-day Austria that had been conquered and subdued at the same time: Rhaetia (western Austria) and Pannonia (eastern Lower Austria and Burgenland).

The Romans ruled over the region by the Danube for almost 500 years and founded numerous settlements. Yielding to the onslaught of tribal migrations, the Romans eventually withdrew from the Danube region abandoning their once-flourishing cities, such as Carnuntum in Pannonia.

Until the end of the 8th century, waves of migrants continued to flood across the area of present-day Austria: Germanic peoples crossed the Danube, while Hunnic horsemen from the east pressed as far westward as France. Later, eastern Austria was settled by the Avars, and Baiuvarii from the southern German area advanced along the Danube. Slavic peoples settled in northern Lower Austria, Carinthia and in southern Styria.

At the end of the 8th century, Charlemagne established the Carolingian East March between the rivers Enns, Raab and Drau (Drava) as a bulwark against further Avar advance. The Alpine region had gradually been christianized by Irish and Scottish monks by the end of the Roman period.

The Middle Ages

When the Babenbergs, a Bavarian noble family, were entrusted with the administration of the region in 976, Austria was still rather sparsely populated. With a clear sense of purpose the Babenbergs expanded their power in the centuries that followed, and with skillful marital policies they became one of the empire’s leading families. In 1156, Austria was elevated to the status of a duchy and was granted important privileges. By the time the last male Babenberg died in the mid-13th century, the dynasty had significantly expanded their dominion.

Following the brief interregnum of the Přemysl ruler Otakar II, the Habsburgs, whose origins lay in Swabia, were enfeoffed with the Duchy of Austria in 1282. With great skill and sense of purpose they constantly expanded their sphere of influence, acquiring the duchies of Styria, Carinthia and Tyrol through contracts of succession and adding Gorizia and Istria (with Trieste) to the areas under their control. Duke Albert V, who had married the daughter of Emperor Sigismund, himself became the first Habsburg to wear the imperial crown, following the death of his father-in-law in 1437.


Modern Age

Over the centuries that followed Albert’s successors wore the crown of the Holy Roman Empire with only short interruptions. The House of Habsburg used skilful marital policies to expand its territory, adding Burgundy and the Netherlands, and also ruling Spain. In 1522, the Habsburg dynasty was divided into a Spanish and an Austrian line, and the latter also acquired Bohemia and Hungary when the last Jagiellonian king died in 1526. The 16th and 17th centuries were marked by conflict with the Ottoman Empire, whose vast armies advanced through Austria and were beaten off at the gates of Vienna twice. Having successfully pushed back the Ottoman expansion, Austria acquired additional territories, emerging as a great European power.

In the second half of the 18th century, Empress Maria Theresa and her son Joseph II introduced sweeping reforms that provided the basis for a modern administrative government. The changes brought about on the map of Europe by the French Revolution and the subsequent Napoleonic Wars led to the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire, and in 1806 Emperor Francis II renounced the Roman imperial crown. Two years earlier he had followed the lead of Napoleon and declared Austria an empire.

After suffering a number of crushing defeats in the course of the formation of the Italian state, the Habsburgs were forced to make concessions to a rising wave of nationalism. In 1867, Emperor Francis Joseph approved the establishment of the Dual Monarchy of Austria-Hungary. This multinational state collapsed after the First World War, not least because of the drive for independence among its numerous nationalities.

20th Century

As the surviving state of the former Dual Monarchy, Austria was proclaimed a republic in 1918, but it was difficult for this small nation to find its place in the new European order. In 1938 the country fell prey to the pressure of aggression by Hitler’s Germany and the unstable domestic political situation.

Until the signing of the Austrian State Treaty in 1955, the independent Republic of Austria, which had been set up in 1945 with the help of the Allied Forces, remained occupied by the four great powers: France, Great Britain, the Soviet Union and the United States. In 1955, the Austrian Parliament passed a constitutional law to guarantee permanent Austrian neutrality, and in the same year the country became a member of the United Nations.

Over the decades that followed, Austria became a valued and important member of the European project, initially as a member of EFTA. Following many years of efforts to promote the European integration, Austria became a member of the European Union on 1 January 1995. It held the Presidency of the EU Council in 1998 and again in 2006."

..and with a short jaunt to the West we arrive in Switzerland!

...first and foremost a little history as presented by: myswitzerland.com

"Much of the territory covered by present-day Switzerland is mountainous. For this reason, the Alpine passes have played a significant role in the development of the country, as have the powers that sought to control these important communication and trade routes.

The inaccessible mountains with their particular living conditions provided the area with protection and a great deal of freedom because they made it difficult for foreign powers to enforce their control in the longer term. This enabled the population to develop its own traditions and forms of government. This situation also favoured the neutrality that has been in force since 1515 and which has also served the neighboring countries by forming a safety zone between the European states. The state of Switzerland as we know it today only assumed its current form in 1848. Prior to this time there was no real Swiss history as such; rather, it was the history of the various territories that gradually coalesced up until 1848 in order to form modern-day Switzerland.

From the beginnings to the Romans
The oldest traces of human existence are about 150,000 years old, while the oldest flint tools that have been found are about 100,000 years old.

The territory of the present-day Switzerland developed in a similar way to that of the rest of Europe. The first centuries were marked by migration, resulting in the area being inhabited by different peoples. With the rule of the Romans, Christianity spread, and the Church with its bishoprics and monasteries became an important landowner. At the same time, aristocratic families increased their power by conquest, inheritance and marriage policy. For a short time, the Frankish king Charlemagne controlled a significant part of Western Europe. In 962 another sphere of power came into being when the German king Otto I persuaded the Pope to appoint him Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.

Switzerland in the late Middle Ages
1291 is traditionally regarded as being the founding year of the Confederation – this was when three rural valley communities banded together in order to be better prepared for attacks from the outside.

In the 14th and 15 centuries there developed a loose federation with rural and urban members. By the end of the 15th century it was strong enough to affect the balance of power in Europe. Various wars were fought in which the Confederates displayed courage and ingenuity, and they gained a reputation as a formidable opponent in combat. The Confederation was enlarged in various ways with some areas joining voluntarily and as equal members while others were more or less forced. The members of the Confederation mainly administered the affairs of their own regions but representatives of each area also met regularly to discuss issues of common interest.

Reformation and the 17th century
The 16th century in Western Europe was dominated by the Reformation, a movement which divided western Christianity into two camps.

Although the riots and destruction were fought on a religious level, this reflected, above all, the desire for social change and the social tensions that existed primarily between town and country. The 17th century saw three further landmarks in the development of modern-day Switzerland. All came as a result of the 30 Years' War (1618-48). While large parts of Europe were involved in this war, the Confederation remained neutral. An important consequence of the Thirty Years' War was Swiss independence from the Holy Roman Empire, which was formally recognised by the Treaty of Westphalia.


18th and 19th century
In 1798, French troops invaded Switzerland and proclaimed a centralised state. Later, the old cantonal system was restored - albeit in a more centralised form.

In 1798, French troops invaded Switzerland and created the centralised Helvetic Republic. For the first time in its history, Switzerland was forced to abandon its neutrality and to provide troops for France. After the Sonderbund War, the foundations for the modern Switzerland were finally laid down with the adoption of the Constitution of 1848. It brought about a more centralised form of government and a single economic area, which put an end to the cantonal rivalries and enabled economic development. Despite this progress, the 19th century was a difficult time for many people in Switzerland. Poverty, hunger and poor job prospects led to a wave of emigration, including to North and South America.

Switzerland in the 20th century
The 20th century was generally marked by a series of striking developments in the political, economic and social arenas.

Domestically there was a shift towards a multi-party system. While at the beginning of the century one party occupied all the positions in the government (Federal Council), there were four parties represented there at the end of the century. Agrarian Switzerland developed into an industrial state with the result that there were more immigrants than emigrants and the standard of living rose significantly. Working conditions and social security steadily improved and there was greater access to a more extensive range of consumer goods. The development of the export sector changed the country’s relationship with Europe and the rest of the world. Although Switzerland remained politically neutral – it did not actively participate in either of the two World Wars – neutrality remained the subject of intense debate."

Today we arrive in the low lying lands known for Windmills, Bicycles, Wooden Clogs, Tulips, Rembrandt, Jan Vermeer, Jan Steen, Vincent van Gogh or Piet Mondriaan, Heineken and so much more...and that country is the Netherlands!!

...but first a brief History as brought to you by: amsterdam.info

"Ancient times

Geographically a difficult area to live, the ancient Netherlands had for its inhabitants Celtic and German tribes, one very important feature - safety. Its rivers, lakes, wetlands, and woods were impossible to cross for the invaders.

It is only in the 1st century BC, that the ancient Roman Empire conquered the southern part of these lands establishing an important military post in Nijmegen. North of the today’s Netherlands remained not conquered nor even invaded. Under the Roman administration, prosperity grew for almost three hundred years.
Early Middle Ages

As the Roman state got weaker, barbaric Germanic tribes started to invade the land. Most powerful of them, the Franks invaded the territory in the 5th century and brought the Christianity with them. By 800 today’s Netherlands was a part of the powerful Franks Empire of Charlemagne. It is in Nijmegen that Charlemagne built one of his palaces. Tradition says that Nijmegen was his favorite residence, while Aachen (today in Germany) was the empire’s capital.

Economical growth in the Middle Ages

After the fall of the Charlemagne Empire (he died in 814) the Low Countries territory has been divided into several smaller states – ruled by dukes and counts. At the same time, already in the Middle Ages, a strong economical development made the Netherlands one of the richest areas in Europe. Agriculture along with crafts and commerce, rich towns and important trading links reaching as far as Asia and North Africa, transformed the Netherlands into the area where the feudal power has been limited, safety of movement and economical activity established, sustained growth possible.
Renaissance and fight for independence

The neighborhood powers – first Dukes of Burgundy and later the Habsburgs (after 1477, the marriage of Mary of Burgundy to Archduke Maximilian Habsburg) tried to dominate the Netherlands and introduce its taxation there.

In 1555, Charles of the Habsburg dynasty granted the Netherlands to his son, Philip II, king of Spain. As Philip II was, a Catholic and part of the Netherlands protestant the Dutch resisted not only the new taxation, but also the intolerance and oppressive methods of administration of the Spanish king and his governor Prince Alba. A long eighty years lasting war began. Feeling of the national identity developed in the Netherlands during this war.

In 1581, the Union of Utrecht proclaimed independence from Spain. The new nation suffered a series of reverses in the war, but finally in 1648 the Spanish recognized the sovereignty of the Republic. The Dutch Republic remained until 1794 at least nominally, under the power of the Austrian throne of Habsburg.

The discoveries era

Despite all the war destructions and hardship, the Dutch continued expansion on the seas and discoveries of the new routes and lands. By the mid-17th century, the Republic was the biggest maritime power of Europe, and Amsterdam was the most important financial center of the continent. Naturally, wars about the domination on the seas with England and wars to resist growing power of France on the mainland followed.

18th and 19th Century

Beginning of the 18th century, with the domination of the big absolutist empires of France, Austria, Russia, and Prussia on the continent, and United Kingdom on the sea, the demise of the tiny Dutch Republic begins. An important economical factor has also been the fall of Poland, which lost Ukraine to Russia and was not able anymore to supply grain to the Netherlands.

Growth of the liberal and republican ideas all over the world and resistance to these ideas by the people who ruled the Dutch Republic, lead at the end of the 18th century to the creation of The Kingdom of the Netherlands, which after the fall of Napoleon included also the territories of the today’s Belgium and Luxemburg.

Belgium provinces revolted in 1830 and separated into the Kingdom of Belgium. Luxemburg although independent, has been united with the Netherlands by a person of a monarch. Luxemburg finally separated from The Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1890, when Dutch King William III died not leaving a male heir, which was a condition to rule the Duchy of Luxemburg.
Time of peace and prosperity

In the second half of the 19 century, through slow but constant economical growth and important constitutional reforms, the Netherlands became a liberal and modern state. During the WWI, the Netherlands remained neutral.

World War II

During World War II (1939-1945), the Netherlands was invaded and occupied by the Germans (1940). After two years of relative prosperity, when only the Jewish population has been prosecuted, the whole country began to suffer the burden of war and increasing German terror.
The Dutch resisted against attempts of the Nazi Germany to incorporate Netherlands into the Third Reich during the WWII, and the leadership of the Royal Family in the struggle with the occupants, are still alive in the Dutch people memory.
Last decades

After the difficult years of reconstruction directly after the WWII, the Netherlands sustained in the second half of the 20th century a continuous and fast economical growth. Today the Netherlands is one of the most developed and wealthiest countries in the world."

...after a few last minute swigs of Heiney off we go to the tropics of Southeast Asia and to Thailand!

First...a brief history as brought to you by: bambootravel.co.uk

"Early Days
Little is known of Thailand’s earliest inhabitants, but there are archaeological sites in the northeast of the country that contain evidence of rice cultivation and bronze casting that date back 5,000 years. In the early days a succession of tribal groups controlled what we now know as Thailand. The Mon and Khmer peoples established powerful kingdoms that included large areas of the country. These kingdoms came into contact with other South Asian peoples and absorbed their religious, political and cultural ideas as well as their institutions and these later influenced the development of Thailand's culture and national identity.

The Tai People
The Tai people originally lived in southwest China and migrated into the main part of Southeast Asia over many centuries. The first mention of their existence in the region is a 12th century AD inscription at Angkor Wat, which refers to syam or "dark brown" people as being vassals of the Khmer monarch. This is how Thailand became known as Siam and its people the Siamese.

Sukhothai
In 1238 a Tai chieftain declared his independence from the Khmer and established a kingdom at Sukhothai in the broad valley of the Mae Nam River in the heart of modern day Thailand.

Ayutthaya
Sukhothai was succeeded in the 14th century by the kingdom of Ayutthaya. The kingdom of Ayutthaya became very powerful in the 14th & 15th centuries, so much so that it was able to defeat the kingdom of Angkor in 1431 thereby causing its decline. Over the centuries there were a number of conflicts with the Burmese which came to a head in 1767 when the Burmese invaded Ayutthaya and totally destroyed it. After a couple of years two national heroes, Taksin and Chakri, soon expelled the invaders and reunified the country under the Chakri Dynasty. In 1782, Chakri established his new capital in Bangkok. He was later given the title of Rama I and was the first king of the Chakri dynasty which has held power to this day.

19th Century
During the nineteenth century it was the European powers, rather than Thailand's traditional enemies, that posed the greatest threat to the kingdom's survival. Thai success in preserving the country's independence (it was the only Southeast Asian country to do so) was in part a result of the desire of Britain and France for a stable buffer state between their dominions in Burma, Malaya and Indochina. More significantly though was the willingness of Thailand's monarchs, Mongkut (Rama IV, 1851-68) and Chulalongkorn (Rama V, 1868-1910), to negotiate openly with the European powers and to adopt European style reforms that modernized the country and won it sovereign status. However Siam, as it was then known, paid a high price for its independence losing control over Cambodia and Laos to France and ceding the northern states of the Malay Peninsula to Britain.

20th Century
As a result of European intervention by 1910 the area of Southeast Asia under Thai control was a fraction of what it had been a century earlier. In the early decades of the twentieth century, Thailand's political system, armed forces and economy underwent drastic changes. Many wealthy Thais studied overseas and a small, Western educated elite with less traditional ideas emerged. In 1932 a bloodless coup d'etat by military officers and civil servants ended the absolute monarchy and inaugurated Thailand's constitutional era. Thailand changed its name from Siam in 1949.

The Modern Era
Since the far reaching changes of 1932 progress toward a stable, democratic political system has been erratic. Politics has been dominated by rival military cliques headed by powerful generals. These cliques have caused frequent coups d'etat and have imposed prolonged periods of martial law on the country. Parliamentary institutions, as defined by the fourteen constitutions written between 1932 and 1987, and competition among civilian politicians have generally been facades for military governments. Today the country has a fledgling democracy, watched over by the military and the new king who has just taken over the reins from H.M. King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the 9th King of the Chakri Dynasty, who was the country’s longest reigning monarch until his death in 2016."

These are very interesting statistics. It makes me curious on what the reciprocal migration numbers are. If country X has a certain amount of people move to country Y, how many people does country Y have moving to X? In my opinion, only with mutual migration numbers are people truly free and a symbiotic relationship is formed, otherwise it's relatively parasitic if considering remittances.

The other thing I'm wondering is if the way foreign-born are tallied is similar among countries -- those residents living there whether they are immigrants, expats, temporary workers, etc.. but not say, tourists or those without a fixed address? etc.

In some cases, like the US, Canada, Australia, even nowadays much of western Europe etc. we take it for granted a huge chunk, if not majority of the foreign born are "immigrants" with or on the pathway to citizenship, but clearly in the case of some of the less traditionally immigrant-receiving nations, I'd imagine expats, temporary workers, refugees with either no desire for or no easy way to settle long-term.

It's also notable that a lot of the immigration is New World to Old World now (eg. Brazilians, Peruvians to places like Italy or Japan). I wonder if aside from Canada and the US, any country in the Americas is really a major immigrant-receiving as opposed to sending country these days.

It's odd to think that Italians, Germans, Japanese etc. and all the immigrant groups associated with coming to the US in the 19th and early 20th century emigrated in mass to places in Latin America, but now Latin America is a region associated with emigration and much of their former immigrant-sending sources have turned the tables to become receivers of migrants.

There's a major difference between non-reciprocal migration because of one country putting much more of a barrier than the other versus lack of mutual migration because one destination is much more desirable to go to rather than leave, though. That's hard to disentangle.

If many more Chinese from China want to become Australian than Australians want to move to China and become Chinese, does this reflect that China is not that desirable a place to immigrate to as opposed to a hard place to immigrate to?

Chile probably receives a large number of immigrants, and Argentina and Brazil too, to a lesser extent. They all have low birthrates and surrounded by much poorer countries.

Also, I don't think large numbers of South Americans are in Europe, excepting Spain. Many in places like Germany are likely engineers on temporary stays.

The US is an outlier when it comes to Indian immigrants.

Hardly any other countries have what the US has with its Indian diaspora the products of heavily skilled immigration like doctors, lawyers, tech workers, engineers on H-1B visas etc.

South Asians, whether going to the Gulf countries now, or places like Guyana, Trinidad, Fiji, Mauritius, Malaysia, South Africa etc. in the past or in colonial times, were mostly manual laborers just like Mexican immigrant farmhands in the SW US or Italian urban workers in NYC back in the day.

Even most people in non-US western countries like Canada (despite the famed selective "points system") and Britain don't associate Indian immigrants with as huge of an education/income gap versus their country's average. There, Indians may be a bit above the average but still mostly "average Joes and Janes" that more likely reflect the spectrum of socioeconomic statuses of the other immigrants and native-born.

Oh, I forgot that the southern cone countries in South America still receive lots of immigrants from surrounding poorer Latin American countries.

However, I think the trend of Old World countries sending immigrants to Latin America (even comparatively wealthy ones like Chile and Argentina) had mostly peaked in the mid if not early 20th century.

Even though there's still lots of poorer African, Mid-eastern and Asian countries who would see an improvement if they moved to Latin America, you hardly hear much about that sort of movement.

You hear about Africans/Middle Easterners to Europe, and Asians to Australia/Canada/the US etc., but fewer contemporary African/Middle Easterners/Asians to the non-Anglo-American Americas.

In the case of intra-EU migration there's no real way of knowing if somebody is going to be staying long term, most will probably not apply for citizenship in the country they move to as there are few advantages to doing so. As a citizen they would get to vote in national elections rather than just in local elections but many people are not too bothered about that. Other than that they will have the same rights to live and work as citizens do.

So in the UK for example Polish-born people now slightly outnumber Indian-born people, but non-nationals with Polish citizenship FAR outnumber non-nationals with Indian citizenship. For Indian nationals there is a big incentive to get British citizenship while for Poles there is no real reason to do that in most cases (at least until Brexit happens).

In Latin America there are some interesting trends going on that i've seen which i'll be posting eventually. Chile and Brazil for example are attracting huge amounts of Haitian immigrants. In fact the Haitian-born population may soon become the largest immigrant group in Chile in the coming years. In Panama -- the Chinese-born population is now the 2nd largest immigrant group country-wide and in Panama City, albeit nowhere near as large as it is in many major US & Canadian cities but quite an anomaly to see nonetheless. Brazil, this in very recent years, is also attracting a growing number of Chinese, Koreans, Indians and even Syrians.

...and now we arrive back in Europe to a country that has a long history of emigration but has now become a place of in-migration and that place is Ireland!

...but first a brief History of Ireland as brought to you by: discoveringireland.com

"Ireland, as an island lying out on the north western fringe of continental Europe was settled by humans civilisations relatively late in European prehistory terms with the first human settlements taking place around 6000 BC.

Since that first human settlement in 6000 BC Ireland has had many periods of invasion and change in its civilian populations. This rich history and heritage has helped to shape Ireland (both north and south) into the unique country it is today.

The first major and long lasting people to leave their mark on Ireland were the Celts. The Celts or Celtic peoples from Western Europe, who came to be also known as Gaels, invaded Ireland subduing the previous inhabitants sometime between about 600 and 150 BC.

The Celts formed a huge part in Irelands developing society and played a major role in our culture. They remained unchallenged until the late 8th century, with the arrival of the Vikings from Scandinavia who began to raid Ireland as well as most of mainland Europe. While other parts of Europe around this time were responding to such outside foreign pressures throughout developing their own systems of feudalism, the Gaelic society in Ireland did not lend itself to such development.

The unity that had been in place in Irish society under Brian Boru during the Viking invasions, had however disappeared by the time Ireland faced its next challenge that of the Normans from England in the 12th century which had long term influence on Ireland. This challenge came from the highly effective feudal monarchy the Normans, founded in England by William I (William the Conqueror) after his invasion of that country in 1066 from Normandy in France.

The Norman Conquest brought Ireland under a new rule for several centuries with many attempts at rebellion. One of the most determined movements of resistance against Norman English rule came from the Gaelic chieftains of Ulster (the north eastern quarter of the island), led by Hugh O'Neill, the second earl of Tyrone, during the end of Elizabeth's reign. In suppressing their rebellion between 1595 and 1603, English forces devastated the Ulster countryside.

One of the most tragic and profoundly devastating events in Ireland’s history was the Great Famine in the mid 19 century. Also referred to as "The Great Hunger", the Great Famine lasted between 1845 and 1849 was arguably the single greatest disaster that affected the Irish history creating a seismic change in the population and culture.

20th Century Ireland

After finally getting its Independence in 1922, the newly independent state of Ireland composed of the southern 26 of Ireland's 32 counties in the following 26 years would had three different names each which reflect the stages by which the goals of the defeated anti-treaty side were actually attained during the generation after the civil war, with the republic of Ireland its present name being decided in 1948.

Northern Ireland

Separate to the Republic, Northern Ireland’s recent history has been vastly different. Whereas the Republic of Ireland was born out of a nationalist demand, Northern Ireland arose out of a defensive reaction on the part of a people who never quite became nationalists of any sort."

..after a quick stop in the emerald lands of Ireland we travel on to another country rich in history and also with a large diaspora that is situated much like a bridge between to continents -- Asia and Europe and that country is Turkey!

Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find data specific to cities for Turkey but we do have some interesting statistics for the country overall...

First, a brief history of Turkey as brought to you by: turkishculture.org

"The history of the Turks covers a time frame of more than 4000 years. Turks first lived in Central Asia around 2000 BC. Later, some of them left Central Asia and spread around, establishing many states and empires independent from each other within a vast area of Asia and Europe. These empires included The Great Hun Empire (established during the 3rd Century B.C.), the Göktürk Empire (552- 740), the Uygur Empire (741- 840), the Avar Empire (6-9 Century A.D.), the Hazar Empire (5-10 Century A.D), the Great Seljuk Empire (1040- 1157), and many others.

Turks in Anatolia: The Turks started to settle in Anatolia in the early 11th century by way of continual migrations and incursions. The Malazgirt victory in 1071 against the Byzantines literally opened up the gates of Anatolia to the Turks. It is following this date that the Turks fully conquered the whole of Anatolia and established the Anatolian Seljuk State there (1080-1308).This was the first Turkish State in Anatolia and was sometimes called, after its capital city of many years, the Konya Sultanate.

OTTOMAN AGE 1299–1923: The Seljuk State rapidly declined with the Mongol invasion of Anatolia which started in 1243. During the period of the decline of the Anatolian Seljuk state and after its disappearance, many Turcoman principalities were established in Anatolia towards the end of the thirteenth century. One of these was the Ottoman (in Turkish Osmanli) Beylik (similar to a Principality) named after its founder, a Turkish ruler named Osman in 1299 in the environs of Söğüt in Eskişehir in the northwestern corner of the peninsula. The Ottoman Beylik rapidly expanded throughout the fourteenth century and thus arose the Ottoman Empire, which ruled over a vast territory on three continents and lasted for 623 years until the end of the First World War.

The Ottomans captured Constantinople in 1453, during the reign of Sultan Mehmet II (1451-1481), and the Byzantine Empire fell, which also marked the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the New Age. During the reign of Sultan Mehmet II, who assumed the title of "The Conqueror," the Ottoman state entered into an era of rapid development which would last until the end of the sixteenth century. At its height, the Ottomans ruled over what is today Greece, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Albania and Romania in the Balkans, over all the islands in the Eastern Mediterranean, and over what is today the Middle East. The borders of the Empire extended from the Crimea in the North to Yemen and Sudan in the South and from Iran and the Caspian Sea in the East to Vienna in the Northwest and Spain in the Southwest.

Starting in the 16th century, however, the Ottoman Empire incrementally lost its economic and military superiority in comparison to Europe, which had developed rapidly with the Renaissance, with its conquest of new territories and its access to raw materials, and with the Industrial Revolution. The Ottoman Empire failed to adapt to these new developments. Thus, the balance of power shifted in favor of the European States. The nationalist movements that started in the nineteenth century and the self-determination movements and rebellions of the Balkan nations, supported by the European powers and Russia, slowly brought the Ottoman Empire to a decline.

WORLD WAR I 1914 –1918: The weakening of the Empire continued until World War I. The Ottoman Empire entered the First World War in 1914 on the side of the allied powers and emerged defeated from the war in 1918, compelled to sign the Mondros Armistice on October 30, 1918. Under the terms of this Armistice, the territories of the Ottoman Empire were occupied by Britain, France, Russia, and Greece. This was the actual end of the Ottoman Empire.

A national resistance and liberation movement emerged as a reaction to this occupation under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal, an Ottoman military commander who mobilized Anatolia in a quest for Turkish self-determination and national independence. He united sporadic and disorganized resistance groups in Anatolia and organized them into a structured army. Under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal—later given the last name Ataturk or "Father of Turks"—the resistance became cohesive, and the Turks were capable of fighting the war for national liberation.

The Turkish National Liberation War was an effort to create a new state from the ruins of an Empire, which had completed its life. It lasted four years (1919-1922) wherein a small army of volunteers fought and won a war against the leading powers of this time. Ataturk's victory was not only military, but it was also diplomatic. The Turkish military victory was sealed with a diplomatic success with the signing of the Lausanne Peace Treaty on July 24, 1923. Signed with Great Britain, France, Greece, Italy and others, the Treaty recognized the creation and international borders of a Turkish State and guaranteed its complete independence.

REPUBLIC OF TURKEY: The Republic was proclaimed on October 29, 1923. For the first time in centuries, the Turkish people enjoyed self-rule. Mustafa Kemal was elected as the first president of the Republic of Turkey."

*The official figures for the foreign-born in Turkey do not appear to show the scope of just how many foreigners live in the country as it is also a place of refugee for many that have escaped war and violence.

Below is a little more of what i'm referring to...

^Notice that there are more Chinese, Greeks (among others) that are leaving than moving in.

Unfortunately, I could not find a more detailed breakdown for Turkish cities but the amount for each (of course this would exclude refugees and asylum seekers).
