European Migration Series
© Julie Goucher, August 2022

This post is part of a series about European Migration. You can read the complete series HERE.

Regardless of the timeframe for the migration, the basic reasons haven’t really changed very much.

• Fleeing Persecution
• Escaping wars, of varying scale
• Creating a better life
• Enforced Migration
• Migration Schemes
• Work opportunities
• Prisoners of War & Internment
• Following Military Service
• Refugees

Over the next few posts, I am going to take each of the points above and give some examples, some of which might overlap other points listed above. Furthermore, some of the examples might develop into a more specific posts as the Migration Series progresses.

Think of migration as an umbrella 🌂 , and once opened ☂ each spoke becoming one of the points above, some of which will develop into mini umbrellas. Migration is so much more than passenger lists.
