History [edit]

Kazakhs began to emigrate to the United States after World War II. In 2000s, many Kazakhs orphans children were adopted by American families. [1]

Researchers[who?] have identified a number of Kazakhs groups emigrated to United States:

  • Former Soviet citizens who were captured during World War II and, upon liberation by Allied troops, migrated to the United States;
  • Kazakhs from Turkey, who emigrated as part of the Turkish labor migration;
  • Kazakhs from China who migrated via Japan or Taiwan;
  • Kazakhs who emigrated from the Soviet Union during the existence of the USSR;
  • Kazakhs from Kazakhstan, who come to study or work;
