About 244,000 Spanish people crossed the Atlantic Ocean to come to the United States between 1820 and 1974.

By comparison, about 25 million Germans and 9 million Italians came to the United States between 1820 and 1974.

That means about one Spaniard crossed the Atlantic for every 139 Germans and Italians.
