Greek-American diaspora

The Greek-American diaspora refers to the community of Greek immigrants and their descendants living outside Greece, primarily in the United States. This migration began in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, driven by economic opportunities, political upheaval, and social factors in Greece. Greek-Americans often preserve cultural traditions, language, and religious practices while integrating into American society. Today, they form a vibrant and influential community that maintains strong ties to Greece through cultural organizations, festivals, and political engagement, contributing to both American diversity and Greece’s international presence.
