America is not a colony of Germany. Why are the descendants of Germans all over America?

After the great geographical discovery, European powers colonized America one after another. Among them, Spain and Portugal carved up most of Latin America, while Britain, France and the Netherlands carved up most of North America and the Caribbean. Because Germany was not unified at that time, Germany was behind this colonial expansion, and the Germans only got a small colony in Venezuela. However, although the Germans have no colonies in America, their descendants are all over America. Germans are the largest ethnic group in the United States with a population of tens of millions. There are more than 5 million Germans in Brazil, and there are also many Germans in Argentina and Chile.

Although Germany has no colonies, the New World is full of temptations for Germans with a small land and a large population. As early as the beginning of17th century, Germans came to North America with the Dutch, and cheap and hardworking German farmers and craftsmen were the main force for the Dutch to develop the North American colonies. /kloc-in the 0/8th century, in order to pursue a better life, more and more Germans began to go to the United States to find a way out. They learned from their relatives and friends who settled in the United States that the United States has excellent living conditions and is a paradise for immigrants, so they immigrated to the United States one after another. At that time, independent countries such as Britain, France and Portugal, including the United States, welcomed German immigrants very much. Because America is vast, sparsely populated and fertile, colonial countries are in urgent need of skilled workers from Europe. Hard-working and intelligent Germans naturally become the best labor force in the eyes of all countries.

/kloc-In the middle of the 0/9th century, Germany ushered in an immigration climax. Germans even account for nearly half of the local residents in the Midwest of the United States and Ogrand in southern Brazil. In Paraguay, Peru, Bolivia, Cuba and other places, Germans are also the main white ethnic groups.

After World War II, due to the defeat of Germany, many Germans, especially Nazis, fled abroad, and the United States was their main destination. Argentina alone accepted more than 60,000 Nazis.

Today, Germans have become an important ethnic group in the United States, and their descendants are all over the United States. Germans are the largest ethnic group in America, the third largest ethnic group in Argentina and the fourth largest ethnic group in Brazil.
