Great numbers of Hungarian workers emigrated to Latin American countries between 1880's and 1928. The immigrants preferred to settle in the most important cities like Buenos Aires or Sao Paolo. The first associations of the Hungarians date to the period of the Austro-Hungarian empire. After the Fall of the Soviet Republic of Hungary, a number of immigrant Labor organizations emerged, with such groups being founded in Brazil (Hungarian Republican Circle of Brazil), Uruguay (Sociedad Obrera de Habla Húngara en Uruguay (Uruguayi Magyarajku Munkások Egyesülete, UMME). The UMME was also active during the period 1936-1944; after 1941 it initiated the antifascist movement called For Free Hungary (Szabad Magyar Mozgalom).
