Transworld MigrationThree factors contribute to people migrating from their countries of origin to always live elsewhere: the facts of empires, religious faith and the search for economic opportunities. People don't always have to stay in their new place, but history teaches us that there were few other reasons. Sometimes an empire forces a people to migrate to another place so that there is not as much danger of rebellion. For example, in the 7th century BC. C., the Assyrian empire expelled the Israelites and brought them to an unknown place. No one knows where these 10 tribes went, but they are probably the ancestors of a people in Iraq, Iran or Afghanistan. Later, in the 20th century AD. C, Russia's socialist government displaced millions of people to live in the Gulag system or to work on public works in the deserts of Central and North Asia. After a generation, migrants considered these places their own cities. This reason also characterizes the slavery of Africans in America, because European empires want to dominate both continents. Sometimes a people emigrates to maintain their ability to practice a religion or to gather with others who practiced it. The first cases were accompanied by wars, but in the last five centuries transport was not so expensive and more groups migrated peacefully. For example, I have more than twenty ancestors who emigrated from England to Utah to “build Zion” or to gather with other Latter-day Saints. I also have Jewish ancestors. One year they were deported from Poland to Germany, and twenty years later they were deported from Germany to Poland. For various reasons, many Jews emigrated to this country. During this century, they had also begun to return to Israel to gather. Factories in the early years after the Industrial Revolution needed many workers, as did public works in a developing society. The Bible says that the first Israelites lived near Goshen and built the Egyptian pyramids..
