Émigrés

Émigrés are individuals who have left their country to settle elsewhere, often due to political, social, or economic reasons. The term commonly refers to those fleeing difficult conditions, such as war, persecution, or authoritarian regimes, seeking safety or better opportunities abroad. Historically, Émigrés can be distinguished from immigrants by their reasons for leaving, often related to preserving political ideals or escaping oppression. They may maintain strong cultural ties to their homeland while integrating into new societies, and their movement can influence political or social dynamics both in their country of origin and host nations.
