  • 2011 AP European History DBQ on Migration
  • Analyze views concerning immigration to Europe in the second half of the twentieth century and explain how these views changed.
  • Historical Background: After the Second World War, many European governments encouraged immigration. Migration into Europe from the rest of the world increased, in part, because of decolonization and postcolonial economic and political conditions. Migration into Europe was also stimulated by the rebuilding there following wartime destruction, and by the European population decline and labor shortages resulting from the Second World War.
