Reminds me of the Irish in Chile

Yes, Irish immigrants even helped with Chile’s fight for independence. One of the coolest things I saw when I visited Santiago de Chile was the numerous parks and streets named for Irish people.

The one that still sticks out to me is called ‘O’Higgins Park’ (Parque o’Higgins)

Or the Volga Germans in Argentina, who came from the Volga River area in Russia.

Today, 8% of the Argentine population, or 3.5 million Argentines, claim German ancestry. Of those, more than 2.5 million claim Volga German descent, making them the majority of those having German ancestry in the country, and accounting for 5.7% of the total Argentinian population. Descendants of Volga Germans outnumber descendants of Germans from Germany, which number 1 million in Argentina (2.3% of the population).
