Summary/Abstract: The migration of the Croats to America forms a substantial part of the European migration process towards the new continent. Massive and continuous emigration of the Croat people deserves a special explanation of its traits linking it with the general flow of other Europeans who also emigrated, together with a specification regarding Croatian emigrants and their migration from Croatia. Firstly, it is necessary to define what is meant by ’emigrant’ and ’immigrant’ before applying this to the experiences of the Croats and Croatia. Emigration has numerous consequences both for the country of emigration and the country of immigration. For the most part, relationships are formed because of immigration. This relates particularly to questions of status where emigrants and immigrants are concerned. The economic, social, and political consequences of emigration and immigration directly influence the defining of emigration policy among the countries involved.
