The major part of this stream flowed to North America, but South America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Siberia also received their share of it. Some emigrants returned to Europe, but most of them remained in America or in one of these other countries that received immigrants. In their new homelands, the immigrants preserved some cultural traits of the lands from which they departed, but also adopted characteristics of their new environment, thus giving birth to numerous immigrant cultures. The departure of emigrants interested the newspapers, public officials, and researchers in the countries from which they left. They pondered the question of why millions and millions of people left their homelands and moved to countries overseas. In the overseas lands, the emigrants certainly received just as much attention, although as immigrants, they were examined from a different angle. There, attention has been directed above all to how rapidly or slowly immigrants adapted themselves to the demands of their new environment, and to what sorts of roles they played in the economic life of their new homelands.
