In the article “Italian Americas” I plan on adding information and statistics to the “Newspaper” section regarding Italian immigration during the Cold War. This article speaks very little about Italian migration during the Cold War. A lot of thought and detail has gone into the events leading up to the Cold War along with events far after it has ended. However, the Cold War itself seems to lack attention throughout the article. I feel it is important to share information about Italian migration during this period, as life as an Italian immigrant was not easy. The article “The American Committee on Italian Migration, Anti-Communism, and Immigration Reform” written by Danielle Battisti uncovers a vast amount of information regarding Italian migration during the Cold War. Battisti is a reliable and credible author who has incredible knowledge about this topic and has been peer-reviewed by the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois Press, 2012. I believe the journey of these Italian migrants coming to the United States is of great importance. Many citizens fled Italy as the Cold War began, as their rights in their hometown became minimal and their jobs became scarce. At this time, it was almost impossible to immigrate into the United States, many Italians were denied citizenship due to protecting America from terrorists or foreign invaders. However, the Italian Americans already living in the United States started the Italian American Organization, which helped the immigration process. This made immigrating into the United States much easier for the new coming Italians. After discussing this topic and adding crucial information, I estimate I will have approximately 200-300 words. Italian immigration during the Cold War is an extremely important part of the migration process from Italy into the United States. I encourage other Wikki editors to weigh in on my changes and add new or more information. I look forward to hearing what other Wikki users have to say and what they have learned from my detailed research. If anyone would like to comment on these changes, please let me know on this Talk Page or my Talk Page. Elaina37 (talk) 21:23, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
