A 5 page paper discussing how mass
emigration affected economic conditions in Europe prior to 1914. Nearly 60 million Europeans
departed their various homelands for the New World during the 50 years preceding World War I.

explaining the still-sustained decrease in inequality between 1800 and 1914. Bibliography lists 7
