Question 21 • TX-World Geography Studies

Which of the following is not a form of forced migration?

Answer
A
the movement of prisoners from Great Britain to Australia
B
the movement of business owners to Europe to establish new business opportunities
C
the expulsion of American Indians from homelands in Florida and the South
D
the migration of Irish to the Americas because of the Potato Famine and starvation

Explanation

Forced migration happens when people are made to move or are driven from home by circumstances beyond their control. Prisoners transported to Australia and American Indians expelled from their homelands were forced to move; the Irish famine also compelled many people to leave to avoid starvation. Business owners who move to Europe to pursue new opportunities are choosing to migrate, so that is not forced migration.
