Answer:

The Hutterites are an Anabaptist Protestant faith community in North America. This religious community was founded in 1528 by Jacob Hutter in Tyrol. The ideology of this community led to a certain degree of persecution by Catholics and Protestants. Thus, the Hutterites left their original hometown and moved successively to Hungary, Romania, Tsarist Russia, and in 1873 to the United States. From there they left en masse for Canada in 1917 to avoid the punishment that awaited them if they persisted in their refusal to do military service, which is why they were persecuted after the American entry into the First World War.
