Turkish immigrants in Germany

The reason why Turks have become the second largest ethnic group in Germany can be seen from several aspects.

War factor: The story of Turkey and Germany began in 1526, when the Ottoman Turks defeated the Hungarian-Bohemian coalition in the first battle of Mohac. The Ottoman Empire and the Austrian Dynasty carved up the territory of Hungary, and the two countries were adjacent to each other and could communicate directly, creating conditions for future integration. Then Osman launched a war against Austria, which lasted for 30 years and opened the channels for communication between the two peoples.

Cultural factors: The European Renaissance and the early Enlightenment led Turks to settle in Germany as prisoners. After enlightenment, Europe's attitude towards different religions and cultures became enlightened, and Europeans were very tolerant of Turks. At that time, the German king announced that all believers of other religions, including Turkey, could settle in Prussia as long as they were willing to serve it.

Historical factors: 187 1 year, the king of Prussia became the German emperor and Austria became Germany against Turkey. Germany hopes to increase its influence in Osman and expand its sphere of influence. Turkey hopes to return to imperial glory with the help of Germany, and the two countries have reached good cooperation.

Factors of World War II: The economies of European countries recovered rapidly after World War II, in which the Federal Republic of Germany created an economic miracle in the 1950s and 1960s, but the rapid economic growth led to a shortage of labor. At this time, a large number of Turks poured into Germany to work. After the Turks stayed in West Germany and got married, the number of Turks increased at a very fast speed, and their number determined that they were not assimilated by the Germans, thus forming an independent and closed Turkish society. At the same time, because the social welfare system in Germany enables them to live without a job, their population grows rapidly, and eventually Turks become the second largest ethnic group in Germany.
