Summary/Abstract: Throughout history, humanity is in the records as a living being in continuous motion. Although migration is an ancient phenomenon historically, it has played an essential role in industrialization andmodernization processes. It has been an essential aspect of social life and political economy since the 1650s. In the history of international migrations, primarily due to capitalism and labour mobility, the years between 1850-1914 witnessed mass migrations in Europe and North America. Although xenophobia and economic stagnation, which increased after 1914, led to a significant decrease in immigration, the migration situation continues.Especially in the last quarter-century, when globalization and regional conflicts that started after the second world war continued, migration movements accelerated due to many reasons. Besides, migration conditions are improving due to the developing technical progress.
