IMMIGRATION TIMELINE: VENEZUELA
1500s Spanish conquistadors invaded Venezuela and settled there.
1800s People from Corsica (in France) and Germany moved to Venezuela to get
better jobs and economic opportunities. There is a town in Venezuela called
Colonia Tavor where people still speak German.
1950s Many people moved to Venezuela from Southern Europe (Spain, Italy) for
better economic opportunities
1980s Many Colombians moved to Venezuela to get away from the wars in
Colombia . There are now more than 4 million Colombians in Venezuela.
Many of them live near the Colombian border.

immigration in your country. In what ways have immigrants changed your
country and its people? Do you know of any famous immigrants? Are your
own parents or ancestors originally from another country?
