Welcome, Ms. Birdsall's Fourth Grade Class!
On this website you will learn about Italian immigration to America! Millions of Italian families came to America in the late 1800s and early 1900s. They influenced American life geographically, socially, and globally. The goal of this website is to trace the story of Italian immigration to America, starting with why Italians came to America and what they did here, and then look at their role in major events in US history, like World War I and World War II.
