Latvian Immigration

Latvia is a small country located right next to lithuania. Almost all latvian immigration is due to military occupation. Both germans and russians have attacked Latvia. Latvia became independent less than 50 years ago. In ww1 Latvian immigration to america grew. How ever this was not the first wave of immigration. The first wave of immigration was four latvians coming in 1638. Later on, nearly 40,000 latvians immigrated to America during WW2. This was largely due to russians on one side of their country and germans on the other.
