This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | While an estimated 800,000 Norwegians immigrated to the United States in the 19th and early 20th centuries, another smaller group of Norwegian numbering between 10,000 and 20,000 immigrated to Latin America. These emigrants from Norway typically chose Latin American to strike their fortune or claim the title of adventurer. Norwegian immigrants to Latin American were usually male, with only 15-20% being female. Unlike immigration to the US, most of the immigration to Latin America happened between World War I and II for Norwegians.Though few ever intended to stay for long, a majority traveled back home frustrated with not much more money than they had taken with them. |
