Migration from Oceania to the US 1870-1957

From 1870 until 1930, relatively low numbers of migrants relocated from Oceania to the United States. The vast majority of these migrants originally came from Australia and New Zealand, although there were some years in the 1880s where migration from the Pacific Islands exceeded these levels (the United States also colonized many islands in the Pacific during this time, and still has some territories in the region). The highest levels of migration from Australia and New Zealand came directly after the Second World War, when more than 6,000 people migrated to the US in 1946 alone.

自1870年至1930年，从大洋洲迁往美国的移民数量相对较少。这些移民绝大多数最初来自澳大利亚和新西兰，尽管在19世纪80年代的一些年份中，来自太平洋岛屿的移民人数超过了这一水平（在此期间，美国还殖民了太平洋地区的许多岛屿，并在该地区保留了一些领土）。澳大利亚和新西兰的移民高峰出现在第二次世界大战之后，仅在1946年，就有超过6000人迁往美国。
