Description
People from Ireland, Scotland and Wales experienced forced and voluntary emigration to parts of the British Empire. Since 1800, millions of Celts left their homelands. Many were forced out by political and religious oppression. Others fled poverty, famine, and crimes under British rule. How did these Celts survive and prosper?
