Ireland — to flee the potato famine.
(Clarification: the Great Famine was in the 1840s, which produced the huge mid-1800s Irish migration. Large Italian migration came later (late 1800s–early 1900s), Russian emigration tied to events around the late 1800s/early 1900s, and Dutch migration was much smaller by comparison.)
