Witnessed in the second half of the nineteenth century was the migration of large numbers of people fleeing poverty, violence, and natural disaster. Europeans emigrated to North and South America, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. Asians traveled to western Europe, the Americas, and Africa. Immigrants performed largely low-paid, physically demanding work on plantations and railroads and in factories. Non-European immigrants also faced racism in societies dominated by Europeans. Some countries attempted to restrict the immigration of particular groups. The United States, Canada, and Australia took steps to prohibit Asian migration. The United States also sought to limit immigration from southern and eastern Europe.
