Welcome back, Loners! In this video, we looked at the history of Germans immigrating over to the US years ago. It was honestly very surprising to us how many German people made the trip over to the US!

The 30 year war (1618 - 1648) was probably the most devastating one in Europe up to World War 1. On the surface, it's been a religious conflict (Protestants vs. Catholics) but in reality it was as always... about power and influence of kings, dukes, bishops and warlords.
Oh and there's a divide by roughly 50/50 protestants/catholics up until today. I have to say that religion is way less important in Germany than it still is in the US these days.
very well explained, thank you, also to notice: mostly religious lunatics and outcasts were migrating to the us cause ppl were sick of their hardcore religious believes after the 30 year war!
I agree. It startet as a regligious war and ended as a brutal territorial war
The 30 year war was much more destructive than WW1. May be even more than WW2. In particular for the civillian population. The various "armies" moved around killing and looting for 30 years, so basically nobody got away unharmed.
Feli from Germany look at here got lot of great vidio
Not only Feli, also often mentioned Type Ashton with also very good videos
Back then, when it was still worthwhile, Europeans moved to the American continent to build something there. But today that seems to have gone a bit off the rails, and the big question is whether there are still so many of them emigrating to the USA.
Because it seems that more and more US Americans are leaving their country for a better and different life in a new country, including Europe
Poverty was also an important reason for emigration, especially in the 19th century. Literally whole villages left for a better life in the "new world".
Many People from Germany immigrate over Bremerhaven to the USA. Over 7 million and some have also brought their home country with them. Many American towns and villages have a German name or a German background.
Bremen, for example, exists 12 times in the usa.
Werner von Braun. Operation Paperclip. My uncle. The US loved the high value Germans.
Wunderland Hamburg is great too has 1,4 million vistor a year
Basically during the last 500 years there always were wars in Europe. Even when Germany wasn't unified they still considered themselves part of the Holy Roman Empire of Germanic Nations. Except for the last 80 years, which is the longest period of peace in Europe in history. With these tiny German nations being positioned right in the center of Europe even if they weren't active participants in these wars, they were often marched through by one army or another. All according to the many religious bases that claimed a divine right to be rulers. These rulers basically held the ownership of all territories.
In the newly founded British colonies territory was up for grabs by slaughtering the indigenous peoples. This remained so right up to the end of the 19th century.
So many people came to the USA with a hope to become a landowner themselves.
Germany was the origin of protestantism with Martin Luther. This meant that basically all Germans were caught up in the religious wars between catholics and protestants and this spread out among the rest of the European nations.
Some things, you got wrong, pal...
After the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71, my family became German because they lived in an annexed region, Alsace.
One of my great-grandparents opted to continue being French. But these two brothers remained in Alsace. Then, one of them finally decided to emigrate 10 years later to the USA, while my direct great-grandfather remained in the Reich.
Finally we became French again in 1919. My grandfather decided to emigrate within France rather than change continents!
As for the American emigrant, genealogical research found him in Buffalo in the state of New York, and his daughters in Florida around the 1910s. Afterwards, no information to date. In my opinion, it is therefore not a real German who emigrated, but an Alsatian who became German in spite of himself.
Didn't we forget to mention some pre- history, to the called events, mon cher...? Franconian here btw...
there were lands that had to people left they were empty of people everone was killed
South west germans from where mostly american-germans are, people look like dark hair, brown eyes..
Dear Friends
my germany has a wild and very violent history. And I am talking about 3000 years.
AND since I am a smartass 😁😁
The Thirty Years' War from 1618 to 1648 was a conflict for hegemony in the Holy Roman Empire and Europe that began as a religious war and ended as a territorial war. In this war, the Habsburg-French antagonism erupted at the European level and, at the imperial level, the antagonism between the Emperor and the Catholic League on the one hand and the Protestant Union on the other. Together with their respective allies, the Habsburg powers Austria and Spain fought out not only their territorial but also their dynastic conflicts of interest with France, the Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden, primarily on the soil of the empire. As a result, a number of other conflicts were closely linked to the Thirty Years' War:
qoute:We mostly looted or robbed them all." The number of deaths from the Thirty Years' War fluctuates in research between three and nine million, out of an estimated total population of 15 to 20 million people.
AND yes i do know that Mr Trump claimes to have german heritage ,I am sorry for that 😊😊 A genetic mistake
Im Groben, isses das! Man könnte noch erwähnen, dass das die europäische Urkatastrophe der Neuzeit war, die verhinderte, dass frühzeitig ein deutscher Nationalstaat entstehen konnte, mit dem ganzen Mist der sich anschließend daraus ergab...
the 30 year war was regliouse, the killed everone in an area because they were protestants, no one was left so ane area was emty of people because they were the enemy
What did you do in history class? Take a nap in the last row...?
The 30-year war was one of the biggest catastrophies of newer european history and left the Holy roman empire and so especially the german lands back in ruins...many areas were completely deserted due to famines, illnesses and raids of foreign soldiers! The main reason was believe(the deeply catholic emperor thought to lecture the rebels(german dukes for example in Eastern germany), who believed in protestantism).It led to every big continental power of the time to send troops to this horrible series of events! And no, it wasnt the protestants, but the catholics, who were quite extreme before and after the war! Famines still happened in Germany and especially in the early 1800s, it was the reason for enormous migration waves towards the USA!
Und die gescheiterte Revolution von 1848, welches witzigerweise zum Sieg der Union, im amerikanischen Bürgerkrieg führte...
If you want to see how cities looked like 300 Years ago in Germany :czcams.com/video/Qnk0qG1JfMY/video.html
