In 1920, the largest Japanese community outside of Japan was in Brazil. Brazil had a large influx of Japanese immigrants starting in 1908, primarily to work in coffee plantations. By 1920, there were approximately 149,000 Japanese living in Brazil, making it the largest Japanese community outside of Japan. The United States had a significant Japanese population as well, but it was not as large as Brazil's at the time. Mexico and Argentina had smaller Japanese communities in comparison.
