Between 1960 and 1990, the foreign population of all selected Western European countries grew significantly. In West Germany, the foreign population grew from fewer than 700 thousand in 1960 to almost four million in 1976; the German total was over five million by the time of reunification in 1990. France and the United Kingdom respectively had the second and third largest foreign populations in 1976 and 1990, although figures are unavailable for 1960 (however, France's total foreign population would have been higher than Germany's in 1960, based on separate percentage and population figures).
