====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> | |||
