Human migration is the movement by people form one place to another with intentions of settling temporarily or permanently in the new location. World immigration flows were dominated by europe and stemmed from processes of colonization and economic growth under mercantile capitalism. Over 300 years europeans inhabited large portions of americas, africa, asia, oceania. Began the early in the 29th century and stemmed from economic development of europe and the spread of industrialism to former colonies in the new world. More than 48 million people left the industrializing countries in europe (large number) agrarian settlers. Large scale european emigration faltered with the outbreak of world war 1. Migrants from africa, asia, and latin america increased dramatically. Traditional immigrant receiving countries also increased (beyond canada, the us, Australia, new zealand, and argentina) to include germany, france, belgium.
