I have read that the largest ethnic immigrant group in this country at the start of WWI was German.

I doubt it but it would depend on a great many definitions. Would the Irish be considered an immigrant at that point? Would the Italians? Are we just speaking of actual immigrants? What about their children? If you are the child of an Irish immigrant couple are you an "Irish" immigrant?

Need to consult some serious work to check this out.
