French Argentines form one of the largest ancestry groups after Italian Argentines and Spanish Argentines. Between 1857 and 1946, 261,020 French people immigrated to Argentina. Besides immigration from continental France, Argentina also received, as early as the 1840s, immigrants with French background from neighboring countries, notably Uruguay, which expanded the French Argentine community. In 2006, it was estimated that around 6 million Argentines had some degree of French ancestry, up to 17% of the total population.<ref>"French Argentines", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Argentines, accessed 9 July 2021.</ref>

===Australia===
====Australia Background====
*Many Australians with French ancestry are descended from Huguenot refugees.
*Others who came later were from poorer Huguenot families. They migrated to Australia from England in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to escape the poverty in the '''East End of London''', notably in the '''Huguenot enclaves of Spitalfields and Bethnal Green''''. Their impoverishment had been brought about by the effect of the Industrial Revolution, which caused the '''collapse of the Huguenot-dominated silk-weaving industry'''.
*A number of French orders of priests, nuns and brothers have contributed to the '''Catholic Church''' in Australia. They included the teaching orders of the De La Salle Brothers, Marist Brothers, and Marist Sisters. The Missionaries of the Sacred Heart, based in Kensington, New South Wales, ran missions in remote Australia and New Guinea.
*The largest post-war increase in French migration to Australia came during the 1960s and 1970s; unlike many other European countries, France did not establish a migration scheme in the immediate post-war period due to '''chronic underemployment''', despite Australia seeing the French as some of the most desirable immigrants to obtain during that era.
*Since that time, there has only been a small flow of French immigrants to Australia. Many people in the French-Australian community now originate from '''French overseas territories, especially New Caledonia'''.<ref>"French Australians", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Australians, accessed 9 July 2021.</ref>
===Basque Diaspora===
===Basque Diaspora===
*The Basques are a people who live between the Bay of Biscay and the Pyrenees Mountains. They are currently to be found in France, in the so called "North Basque Country" or Pays Basques, and in Spain in the so called "South Basque Country" or Pais Vascos. There is also a considerable Basque Diaspora, particularly in Latin America and the USA. The Basque diaspora is the name given to describe people of Basque origin living outside their traditional homeland on the borders between Spain and France. Many Basques have left the Basque Country for other parts of the globe for economic and political reasons, with substantial populations in '''Colombia, Argentina and Chile with those of Basque ancestry in the hundreds of thousands; Peru, Venezuela, Guatemala and Uruguay (an estimated 5,000 to 50,000 descendants), Canada, and the United States'''.
