Austrian Americans

Austrian migration to the U.S. probably started in 1734, when a group of 50 families from the city of Salzburg migrated to the newly founded Province of Georgia. Having a Protestant background, they migrated because of Catholic repression in their country.{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=VQ1zAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA306|title=Multicultural America: A Multimedia Encyclopedia|page=306|isbn=978-1-4522-7626-7 |last1=Cortés |first1=Carlos E. |date=August 15, 2013 |publisher=SAGE Publications }}

In the late 1930s, large numbers of Austrians migrated to the United States, most of whom were Jews fleeing the Nazi persecution that started with the annexation of Austria in 1938. By 1941, some 29,000 Jewish Austrians had emigrated to the United States. Most of them were doctors, lawyers, architects and artists, including composers, writers and stage and film directors).{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=VQ1zAwAAQBAJ&dq=multicultural+america+%22austrians%22&pg=PA307|title=Multicultural America: A Multimedia Encyclopedia|page=307|isbn=978-1-4522-7626-7 |last1=Cortés |first1=Carlos E. |date=August 15, 2013 |publisher=SAGE Publications }} After WW II ended, some further 40,000 Austrians emigrated to the United States (1945-1960).

Since the 1960s, Austrian immigration has been very limited, owing to Austria's high levels of development and political freedom. According to the 1990 U.S. census, 948,558 people identified their origins in Austria.[http://www.everyculture.com/multi/A-Br/Austrian-Americans.html Everyculture:Austrian-Americans]. Posted by Syd Jones. Retrieved in December 08, 2011, to 13:05 pm. Most of the present-day immigrants who currently live in the United States who were born in Austria identify themselves as being of Austrian ancestry, but the percentage who identify themselves as being of German ancestry is larger than the one expected on the basis of the opinion polls in Austria. According to the United States Census Bureau, in 2015, there were 26,603 individuals living in the U.S. born in Austria who identified themselves as being of Austrian ancestry.{{cite web | url=https://data.census.gov/cedsci/table?q=Austrian&tid=ACSDT5YSPT2015.B05006 | title=Explore Census Data }} By contrast, in the same year, there were 6,200 individuals living in the U.S. born in Austria who identified themselves as being of German ancestry.{{cite web | url=https://data.census.gov/cedsci/table?q=German&tid=ACSDT5YSPT2015.B05006 | title=Explore Census Data }} Most of the immigrants from South Tyrol in Italy to the United States identify themselves as being of German rather than Austrian ancestry. According to the Census Bureau, in 2015, there were 365 individuals living in the U.S. born in Italy who identified themselves as being of Austrian ancestry. By contrast, in the same year, there were 1,040 individuals living in the U.S. born in Italy who identified themselves as being of German ancestry.

Austrian immigrants adapted quickly to American society because the Austro-Hungarian Empire had also been a melting pot of many cultures and languages. On the other hand, despite the rejection that Austrians feel toward the behavior of the Germans, regarded by Austrians as less tolerants and cosmopolitans, they have suffered the same damages and discrimination that German immigrants have faced in the United States. They were considered by Americans to be the same because of their language and both world wars.

The emigration of other religious groups from Austria to the United States, especially the Jews from Vienna after 1938, has also contributed to strengthen religious variety in the United States.Melissa Jane Taylor, "Family matters: the emigration of elderly Jews from Vienna to the United States, 1938-1941." Journal of Social History 45.1 (2011): 238-260. [https://www.jstor.org/stable/41678825 online] Isidor Bush (1822–98) emigrated from Vienna in 1849 and became a leading Jewish citizen of the city of St. Louis and the state of Missouri through his business ventures, religious work, and political activities. His vineyards were famous and profitable.Siegmar Muehl, "Isidor Bush and the Bushberg Vineyards of Jefferson County," Missouri Historical Review (1999) 94#1 pp 42-58.
