Summary/Abstract: At the turn of the 19th to the 20th century, some regions of Latin America experienced a great wave of immigration, mainly from Europe. The Hungarian researchers of Latin America focus mainly on the history of Hungarian emigration and, in recent years, on the study of current migration processes. The purpose of this article is to provide additional information to understand and study a key period (from the middle of the 19th century to the third decade of the 20th century) in the social and demographic processes of the subcontinent: to present comprehensively the emergence of immigration processes and their circumstances, the implementation of immigration policies, the reasons for the success or failure of these policies, the main features of the most important immigration period for the subcontinent, and the changes in official policies and their background, primarily from the point of view of the host countries.
