JAPANESE IMMIGRANTS
Where did they come? Japanese immigration to Argentine began in 1908. Between 1960s and 1970s, more Japanese immigrants arrived in the country. At the end of the 1980s, approximately 30,000 persons of Japanese ancestry were living in Argentina.
Where did they settle? In the prewar years, Japanese Argentine people were concentrated in urban small businesses, especially dry cleaning and cafes in Buenos Aires, especially in the district of Belgrano, while some worked as domestic servants, factory workers, and longshoremen. A minority of Japanese Argentines also engaged in horticulture, floriculture, and fishery.

The Chinese in Argentina When did they come? The Chinese came mostly in two waves to Argentina: The first wave came in the 1980s and over the years. The second wave came in the 1990s. This group is filled with young drifters who came often through the illegal smuggling route originating in Fujian Province. Where did they settle?They settled in the Buenos Aires province. Why did they come? Because they wanted to work here and in China there is overpopulation. They work in supermarkets and restaurants. How did they come? Probably they came by plane. We lack this information because it is a very recent immigration.
Most Chinese work in supermarkets in Argentina. It is estimated that in Argentina there are over 4,000 Chinese supermarkets.

The German immigration to Argentina The term "German" usually refers to ethnic Germans who immigrated to Argentina from Germany, Austria, France, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Russia, Switzerland, former Yugoslavia and elsewhere in Europe. Some German-Argentines, or their ancestors, originally settled in Brazil, and then later on immigrated to Argentina. Germany as a political entity was founded only in 1871, but immigrants from earlier dates are also considered German-Argentine due to their German language and culture.
WHEN DID THEY COME?They came to Argentina between 1885 and the First World War the population of Argentina doubled with the influx of three million European immigrants, 100,000 of whom spoke German. During the second period, from 1870 until 1914.During the third period, after a pause during World War I, immigration to Argentina again resumed and German speakers came in their largest numbers. The two largest years of German immigration to Argentina were 1923 and 1924, approximately 10,000 in each year. During the fourth period, from 1933 to 1940, Argentina experienced another surge in German immigration. The fifth and final category of German immigration to Argentina involves the period following World War II.
WHERE DID THEY SETTLE? Strong German communities developed in Argentina, and especially in Buenos Aires. Argentina experienced a massive boom in immigration due to or causing massive economic expansion in the port of Buenos Aires and in the wheat and beef producing pampas. This can be attributed to increased immigration restrictions in the United States and Brazil as well as the deteriorating conditions in post-World War I Europe.. Between 1905 and 1933, the number of German schools rose from 59 to 176. Though found throughout Argentina, over 80% were located in Buenos Aires, Misiones, or Entre Ríos in 1933. In total, 45,000 German speakers came at this time and half settled in Buenos Aires. From 1933 to 1945.The country received 12,000 immigrants from Germany between 1946 and 1952.[2] They settled in: Buenos Aires Province, Entre Ríos Province, Córdoba Province, La Pampa Province, Chaco Province, Santa Fe Province, Formosa Province, Neuquén Province, Río Negro Province, Chubut Province, Misiones Province and Corrientes Province.
