In the 1890s, Chinese immigrants primarily settled in California, while Japanese immigrants also settled in California but had significant populations in Hawaii due to opportunities in the sugarcane industry. Both groups sought better economic conditions and formed communities despite facing discrimination and legislative exclusion. Their work was crucial in building the infrastructure and economy of the American West.
