Explanation
The first guest workers in the Federal Republic of Germany primarily came from Italy, as Germany needed labor to support its post-World War II reconstruction in the 1950s. Italy was a key partner during this period, with many Italians migrating to Germany in search of better economic opportunities. This migration set the stage for later immigration from other countries and had a lasting impact on German society.
