From 1870 to 1913 the world was characterized by an increasing volume of international trade, made possible by advances in transportation and communication. The international mobility of capital and labor also increased. In other words, there were large migrations of people, especially from European countries to countries in the Americas such as Canada, the United States and Argentina. And although European migration to the North of the continent is more famous, the number of immigrants as a proportion of the total population was greater in Argentina than in the United States. It is estimated that by 1914 almost 30% of Argentina's total population was foreign, while in the United States it represented 14.5%, which speaks to Argentina's ability to attract immigrants.
Why did Europeans prefer to emigrate to Argentina over dozens of other options around the world? Why did some Argentineans begin to have a negative image of immigrants?
At what point did Argentina cease to be so attractive to Europeans?
