1709 : mobilité, diaspora et formes d’État en Europe

Abstract

This article focuses on the significance of the year 1709 for a European history of migration. This year not only included major movements of people, the most prominent being the migration of the “Poor Palatines” from Germany to England, but also changes in legislation affecting immigrants in several European countries including England, Brandenburg-Prussia and the Netherlands. Seen from a longer-term perspective, these changes paved the way for a new understanding of mobility and citizenship.
