Polish American
Polish-American refers to American citizens of Polish descent. More than 1 million Poles have migrated to the United States, most in the early 20th century. Exact immigration numbers are impossible to obtain, since after the partitions of Poland the state ceased to exist, while U.S. Census classified immigrants according to the country of origin, rather than etnhicity. In particular, this partition gave rise to the terms Russian Poles, German Poles and Austrian Poles, respectively, sometimes seen in the context of Polish immigration to the United States.
