Thousands of Cantonese-speaking Chinese immigrants began arriving in Costa Rica after the [[Canton War]], looking for work. With the construction of the [[Panama (Genoese Overseas Territory)#The Race to the Pacific, and the Panama Canal|Panama Canal]] shortly after, the Chinese population reached its peak of 10,000 in 1890. A migration wave from [[Soenda]] spanned the 1920s and 1930s. Mainly consisting of Javanese and Minhassa people, 1 in 7 Boschlanders have Southeast Asian heritage.
Similarly, many [[Genoa|Genoese]] and [[Tuscany|Tuscan]] businessmen and workers settled in the country. Counting 31,000 people (including descendants) by 1922, they are collectively known as ''Italliaen'' people.
