*Bolivia comparatively has experienced far less immigration than its South American neighbors. Nevertheless, small groups of '''Germans, Spaniards, Italians, a small Yugoslavian community''', and others live in the country. | |||
*The '''Basques''' were a large source of Spanish and European immigration from the late 16th to early 20th centuries. Most came as shepherds and ranchers to Bolivia's vast livestock industry. | |||
*Similar to other Latin American nations, Bolivia has experienced a '''small Japanese migration'''. Beginning in 1899, a small migration of Japanese began that continued until the 1970s. Small Japanese communities were formed in the Bolivian '''department of Santa Cruz'''. | |||
*Other '''East Asians (Taiwanese and Chinese) and West Asians (Lebanese and Syrians)''' developed their own communities in Bolivia in the late 20th century. *During the 20th century Bolivia received a '''small number of Jews, mainly Ashkenazi.'''<ref>"Immigration to Bolivia", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_Bolivia, accessed 16 May 2021.</ref> | |||
