France is a country that wants to limit the amount of refugees that enter their country while Germany has an open door policy that is appealing to many immigrants. Many of the policies that are put in place have an effect on the…

Marriage had been seen as a tool for many people including countries to advance in society especially during the great migration from 1890 to 1920. The United States was on the verge of becoming a world power; this required a solidified united nation. Coincidentally, almost eighteen million immigrants were migrating to the states at this time.
