 * Answer**: Poland has no natural defensible borders. Therefore it was invaded often by surrounding countries. In fact Poland did not exist as a unified country from 1796 to 1918. During this time Poland was split up by Russia, Austria and Prussia. This lasted until World War 1. Because of this occupation by other countries, Polish people and their culture were persecuted. Polish people emigrated to other countries like the United States for economic, political and religious freedom and opportunity.


 * Question 4**: Where did most Polish Immigrants initially settle in the United States?
 * Answer**: Polish immigrants lived mostly in the Northeast and in Chicago. They lived there because of the numerous factory jobs that existed for unskilled workers. Some women worked as maids. In general Polish immigrants moved into cities because that is where the factory jobs were. Buffalo was a city that attracted many Polish immigrants.

Question 6: What obstacles did Polish immigrants face in the United States? Answer: Many Americans blamed immigrants for negative changes to their society. As cities and industialization grew, many changes occured in the United States. The increase in crime and overcrowding was blamed on the immigrants. Most Polish immigrants were Catholic and some Americans thought that they would be agents of the Pope rather than loyal American citizens. Polish immigrants had a difficult time adjusting to the English language and culture. Because of their thick polish accents, many Americans made polish jokes that labeled polish people as stupid.

The reason I chose this question is because I thought that there were alot of important events were happening. During the third wave of immigration the conditions in the U.S. were ups and downs. Very imporatant events were also going on like the impeachment of Bill Clinton, the Persian Gulf War, the election of the year 2000, September 11, 2001 which is now referred 9-11, and the beginning of the Iraq War.

Question 4. Where did people from the country that you are researching settle? Explain why people settled were they did. I chose this question to summarize because I think it's interesting were Filipino Americans settled. When the Filipino immigrants came to America they mostly settled in the west like, California and Hawaii. The area was mostly urban. This is what I found very interesting. I find this interesting because when they lived back in the Philipines the people usally worked outside in rice fields and other types of farming. But when Filipinos moved to America they worked in offices, medical fields, engineering, and physics.

Question 3. Why did people leave the country that you are researching? I chose this question because there was alot of information on it. The reasons people left the Philipines was because of job unemployment in which people needed jobs so they immigrated to America. Also the economy in the Philipines was growing less rapidly. Better educations which lead to more paying jobs.

Information: Question 8. In conclution, include any information that you may consider relevent, interesting about the country and wave of immigration that you are reserching. I chose this question because I found alot of good and fun information about Croatia. What I found interesting about croatia was that croatia had numerous flags. Their flag was red, white, and blue. Their basic flag was adopted after the World War l. In 1938, the tricolor was altered some what by placing the countries red and white coat-of-arms shield in the center of the flag. Their used to be a red star that symbolized revolution. Their colors now represent blood. Another interesting fact that I found out about Croatia was that they only have 30 letters in their alphabet.
