The industrial revolutions set man in motion again after agriculture had made him settle down.
Farmers and farm workers moved into the cities to find a better life there. (Im)migrant workers came a long way, giving up their roots and homelands to find wealth by working in an industrial nation. Some industrial countries even invited them over since they were in need of more workers.
Through this process of migration, foreigners and their religions and ideas join a nation, and they have to be accepted, sometimes controlled and at best integrated in a productive way. Migration has always been a part of European history.
