Ireland is known worldwide as a country that produce emigrants. The existence of the Irish ''diaspora'' is the subject of this fifth installment of the ''Irish perspectives'' collaboration between Pen and Sword and History Ireland. From the early Christian era Irish missionaries traveled across Europe, from the early modern period Irish soldiers served across the world in various European armies and empires, and in the modern era, Ireland''s position on the edge of the Atlantic made Irish emigrants amongst the most visible migrants in an era of mass migration.
