American immigrant army

There are three presidents in America. German? Another president's mother is of German descent. The current US President Donald Trump is also of German origin.

Germans are the first ethnic group in the United States, in the US military? German? Can it be less?

Anyone with a little knowledge of history knows that the United States was the main participant in the two world wars, and it was because of its intervention that the balance of victory and defeat was changed.

Especially in the second world war, Germany, Japan and Italy would not have been defeated so quickly, and people of all countries would have to pay a more painful price.

World War II is a life-and-death contest between the Axis and the Allies, and the Asian battlefield is a contest between the Allies led by the United States and Japan. The European battlefield is a contest between allied countries headed by the United States and Germany, or the United States is the terminator of German fascism.

Interestingly, in the European battlefield, the bravest soldiers of the US military are German-Americans, and the best are German-Americans.

Some people even joked that the Germans defeated the Germans in the European battlefield.

General Eisenhower, the supreme commander of the allied forces in Europe and the 34th president of the United States in World War II, was a German-American.

The protagonist of the Normandy landing, General Patton, who commanded armored forces to sweep across Europe, was a German-American. General Nimitz is one of the top ten five-star generals in the US Navy. He was also a German-American when he was commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces in the Pacific Theater during World War II.

Why did the US Army have so many Dodds during World War II?

To be precise, the earliest settlers in the United States were German immigrants. Before the founding of the United States, the Germans set foot in America at the beginning of the17th century.

The earliest inhabitants of America were Indians, and the Germans were the first Europeans to arrive there.

Twenty years later, an English ship named may flower arrived in the United States. They were the first formal European immigrants and a group of English Puritans.

Since then, colonists from Britain, France, the Netherlands and other countries began to flood into the United States, and immigrants from European countries followed.

/kloc-In the middle of the 0/7th century, the British defeated the Dutch and established thirteen colonies on the endless east coast of the United States, which were called British North American colonies.

At that time, the American continent was vast, sparsely populated, with more wild animals than people, far away from the European continent, so it became a place for English Puritans to yearn for and a place for poor British farmers and bankrupt craftsmen to change their destiny.

Therefore, before the independence of the United States, Britain was the protagonist, and more than three quarters of the local population were British.

But despite this, the population is still too small, and the labor gap is too big. Develop this land in the United States.

Therefore, from the beginning, the British welcomed people from all over the world, especially those from European countries, to settle down and start businesses.

Among them, adventurous German immigrants began to immigrate to the United States. Because Germany is hardworking, intelligent and advanced in industrial and agricultural technology, it will soon become the main force in building the United States and get along well here.

The success of German immigrants virtually played a demonstration role, attracting more Germans to come here for gold.

1828, about 1000 German immigrants arrived in the United States every year; 1832, the number increased tenfold, reaching more than 10000, and 1836 reached more than 20000, showing a blowout growth.

1854, this number increased by 10 times, reaching 200,000.

/kloc-In the mid-9th century, the number of Germans immigrating to the United States reached its peak, and some places even called on friends and groups to settle in the United States.

According to statistics, in the19th century alone, 5 million Germans came to settle in the United States.

According to the latest census data, the number of Germans in the United States has reached 60 million, accounting for about one-sixth of the total population of the United States, and it is the largest ethnic group in the United States.

Second, the Irish account for about one-eighth of the total population of the United States;

And the British can only rank third.

Germans account for such a high proportion of the American population, so naturally many people sign up for the army, and there are more American troops? German? It is also reasonable.

The United States is a melting pot and an open immigrant country. No matter which country you come from, as long as you set foot on American soil, you will recognize American values and regard America as your motherland.

Therefore, Germans in the United States have always considered themselves Americans.
