An Italian Argentine (Spanish and Italian: ''italo-argentino'') is a person born in Argentina of Italian descent or an Italy-born person who resides in Argentina. It is estimated up to 17 million Argentines have some degree of Italian descent (up to 37% of the total population), Italians began arriving in Argentina in great numbers from 1857 to 1940, totaling 44.9% of the entire immigrant population; more than from any other country (including Spain at 31.5%), and this migratory flow continued to the early 1950s, with Italy also having the most emigrants to Argentina for the decades 1980–2000. Because of this, Italian descent is at least 37% of the population, almost 17 million.〔 In 1996, the Italian Argentines were 12,8 million〔http://web.archive.org/web/20060509081555/http://www.migranti.torino.it/Documenti%20%20PDF/italianial%20ster05.pdf〕 when Argentina’s population was about 34.5 million, meaning that they were 46% of the Argentine population. Italian settlement in Argentina, along with Spanish settlement, formed the backbone of today's Argentine society. Argentine culture has significant connections to Italian culture in terms of language, and customs.〔(O.N.I.-Department of Education of Argentina )〕 ==History== (詳細はOlimpiadas Nacionales de Contenidos Educativos en Internet - Instituto Nacional de Educación Tecnológica )〕 However, the stream of Italian immigration to Argentina became a mass phenomenon only in the years 1880-1920 during the Great European immigration wave to Argentina, peaking between 1900-1914; about 2 million settled between 1880-1920, and just 1 million between 1900-1914. In 1914, the city of Buenos Aires alone had more than 300,000 Italian-born inhabitants, representing 25% of the total population.〔 The Italian immigrants were primarily male, between 14-50 and more than 50% literate; in terms of occupations, 78.7% in the active population were agricultural workers or unskilled laborers, 10.7% artisans, while only 3.7% worked in commerce or as professionals.〔 The outbreak of World War I and the rise of Fascism in Italy caused a rapid fall in immigration to Argentina, with a slight revival in 1923-27, but eventually stopped during the Great Depression and the Second World War. After the end of World War II, Italy was reduced to rubble and occupied by foreign armies. The period 1946-1957 brought another massive wave of 380,000 Italians to Argentina. The substantial recovery allowed by the Italian economic miracle of the 1950-60s eventually caused the era of Italian diaspora abroad to finish, and in the following decades Italy became a migration receiving country. Today, there are still 527,570 Italian citizens living in the Argentine Republic.〔http://infoaire.interno.it/statistiche2007/stat_americam_circ.html Italian Ministry of the Interior〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Italian Argentine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
