Georgian Americans  

Définition(s)

  • The first Georgians arrived in the United States during the 1890s to join Buffalo Bill Cody and his Wild West Congress of Rough Riders of the World. However, the four primary waves of immigration from Georgia occurred (a) after Georgia lost its independence in 1921 following a Red Army invasion, (b) after World War II when many captured Georgians serving in the Soviet Army refused to return to the Soviet Union, (c) during the 1980s when Georgian Jews were permitted to leave the Soviet Union, and finally (d) during the 1990s after Georgia regained its independence once more.
