297. From which country have the largest number of migrants to Germany come?

Answer options

1. Italy
2. Poland
3. Morocco
4. Turkey

Explanation

The correct answer is Turkey. This stems from the 1961 labor‑recruitment agreement under which the Federal Republic addressed post‑war labor shortages; although recruitment ended in 1973, subsequent family reunification produced the largest cumulative inflow from Turkey. One must distinguish “foreign nationals” from “migrants”: many people of Turkish origin have naturalized, altering stock figures without changing the historical main source. In constitutional and statutory terms, the 1999/2000 reform of the Nationality Act (introducing limited jus soli), the equality guarantees of Article 3 of the Basic Law, and integration instruments under the Residence Act shaped the integration framework.
