Abstract

The American land was not devoid of inhabitants when it was discovered. Studies have proven that its inhabitants consisted of two elements and they were not residents of the ancient world, and most likely the first section of them crossed the Bering Strait after the end of the Ice Age and it is likely that they belong to the Mongol element to which the Chinese belong, The second element among them is the Native Americans, whose influence extended from the North and South American continents to the surrounding islands complementing its geographical extension, which were known as the West Indies. They migrated to America in successive human waves in search of reasons for life. In the south, the first wave of immigration to America was groups of explorers and adventurers who went searching with the encouragement of the kings and princes of Europe for gold and precious wealth. Then a wave of immigrants came to the new world, consisting of the religiously and politically oppressed in Europe, then the migrations followed and varied in shapes and colors, and only two centuries of time passed until a unique community and a dissonant mixture appeared on the American continent, united by risk and hopes for a degree of stability.

In this way, the American society was formed, so the impact of this group of immigrants to the new land from Africa, Asia, Europe and many countries of the world, and everyone wants to have influence in the new state, which became an important role on the international level in the nineteenth century and had extensive influence and dominance in the twentieth century is still there, so there are many interest groups, pressures, and lobbies that seek to have a say in guiding the political decision-maker in America, especially some of the immigrant nationalities settled in it.
