Answer:

After 1914, immigration dropped off because of the war, and later because of immigration restrictions imposed in the 1920s.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reasons these new immigrants made the journey to America differed little from those of their predecessors. Escaping religious, racial, and political persecution, or seeking relief from a lack of economic opportunity or famine still pushed many immigrants out of their homelands.
