"@ 100 points @" Why are there so many Japanese in South America? At the same time, talk about the distribution of Japanese in various countries.

1. One hundred years ago, South America launched an independence movement, and countries basically achieved formal independence. But South American countries, especially Brazil, are short of population and labor. Therefore, at that time, the governments of South America not only introduced measures to encourage immigrants from all countries, but also sent invitations to all countries, asking them to send immigrants to live. Including Japan.

2. At that time, the population of Japan was already quite large, and the contradiction between man and land was quite prominent. Meiji is the development of new post-capitalism, which also stimulated the Japanese to look for gold. So after receiving the invitation, I was very happy to send a large number of immigrants, which is also the origin of a large number of Japanese expatriates in South America.

Rough data: There are about 4 million overseas Japanese.

Brazil and the United States are both above 654.38+0 million.

Followed by the Philippines, China (many Taiwan Province provinces), Canada, Peru and other countries.
