Savoyard Emigration

Savoyard Emigration refers to the movement of people from the Savoy region, which straddles the borders of modern-day France, Italy, and Switzerland, particularly during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Many emigrants left in search of better economic opportunities, escaping poverty and underemployment in their mountainous homeland. They primarily settled in countries like the United States and Argentina, where they contributed to various industries. This emigration flow reflects broader trends of migration driven by economic, social, and political factors during that era.
