Belarusian Australians

It is believed that the first Belarusian immigrants who arrived in Australia likely settled in the early 1800s in New South Wales, together with other European people.

It is known that mass emigration from Belarus did not begin until slowly during the final decades of the 19th century, extending until World War I.

[citation needed] After of the post-World War II period, from 1948 to the early 1950s, many Belarusians arrived in Australia.

In fact, the majority of them from West Germany and Austria, but many Belarusians also came from Great Britain, France, Italy, Belgium, Denmark, and other countries in South America and North Africa.

[citation needed] There were several waves of influx of Belarusians into Australia, one before the Russian Revolution, then in 1919-1939 from West Belarus, then in the late 1940s-early 1950s (after the Second World War), and after the collapse of the USSR in the 1990s.
