Cheri,
Correct me, I believe I read somewhere that when WWII began, the United  
States limited the number of persons it accepted into this country.  This  was 
because of the masses that were trying to leave Europe.

Linda  L,

The people who are more versed on history can answer.

When I  looked at the passaportes (emigration out of the Azores), there 
were a lot  from the 1880s-1900 going to Hawaii.  I saw a lot to America, and 
some to  Canada and Brazil.  When World War 2 hit, there were much, much less 
 people leaving.

If I had to guess, by 1920, the economy was better  after WWI and people 
started emigrating again.  But the historians in  this group will chime in and 
let you know.  I like history, but was not a  history major or read 
extensively on it.   Those who have read a lot  or were history majors will 
post, 
I'm sure.
