Answer:

The Chinese migration in the 19th century was most likely stimulated by the economic and political chaos prevalent in southern China.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The political unrest and violence in China that eventually caused China’s economy to cripple also led to large groups of people fleeing China in search of safe havens.
  • Most of them migrated to the United States inspired by the gold rush in California, political and economic stability, and other opportunities of earning available in the US.
