Australia, New Zealand, South, central, and North America, many islands in the Pacific , North ,South , East ,Central and West Africa etc
The number of Europeans is counted in the hundred million
China and India that were more populated than Europe did not experienced such a massive population migration.

Other question that comes to mind is what would happen in Europe if all those Europeans returned home ?

They left for more freedoms and opportunities. Generally in feudal Europe one pretty much stays in the class they were born in,
mostly peasants. Especially early on about 1/2-2/3rds of all Europeans that came to the Americas, Caribbean were indentured servants.
An employer master would pay for their shipping cost and the servant would work for that person for about 5-7 years, no wages.
But attain freedom at a still reasonably young age.

Bold?? They are not Europeans. An Aussie or an American is moving to Europe unless it is work related most likely. A few might
retire somewhere in Europe.

Sure indentured service is a form of slavery. So is sex slave trafficking today. People act like picking cotton is the only type of slavery.
Most white immigrants to the Americas for the first 200 years were slaves.

I have read it and it wasn't stated that war was the reasons Italians migrated to those south American countries, even a century before the second world war Italians has been running to Argentina and Uruguay so the second world war could not be acceptable as the reason Italians migrated to Argentina and Uruguay.

In the 19 the century most of Irish people left their homeland due to the potato famine

so why did they migrated?
the lost of jobs and financial declination in italy led to unemployment, and the outbreak of cholera and other diseases forced many Italians to move to Argentina.

a lot of those Europeans were escaping from plagues of farming and poverty engulfing Europe then, and the new world was like a safe heaven to them.
