  • How did 20 million Germans end up in Latin America? Today, we're going to discuss the Germans of Latin America, perhaps one of the most overlooked people in all of history (other than their association with former National Socialist war criminals.)
    Let's go over a brief history of the many German communities set up over the many Latino countries and their contributions to their host countries. Be sure to let me know your thoughts on German Latin Americans and let me know which country you think was most heavily influenced by German immigration. Thanks for watching!

      That was because the Brazilians descendants of Germans at that time tried to do stupid things and the Brazilian government needed to take an action. If it wasn't because of this the German language in Brazil would be cooficial today. Still today Brazil is the only country in the American continent where the German language and Germanic dialects are widely spoken. S.Paulo has the largest German college in the world, if you don't know. Never heard about the "Deutsch Schule", today "Colegio Visconde de Porto Seguro?"

    My wife’s great grandfather was a German immigrant who came to Mexico as a young boy at the end of the 19th century. He settled in Nuevo León where it attracted a good size of Germans and he also had family in Texas but his parents decided to stay in Mexico. Her great grandmother was mestiza (mix race). He passed away recently but that man left good memories such as how he taught my wife how to play the accordion, since Germans are the ones that influenced Mexican Norteño music.

    I can only speak for my experiences in Chile. I'm a German myself and was blown away by how much remnants of German culture can be found in Chile. Loads of people claiming to be of German descent (their mother tongue being Spanish though) and random stuff like food (you get German Kuchen/'cake' and finding German restaurants that serve very outdated food (like 18hundrets farmer's dishes) are everywhere.
    While attending Spanish class in Santiago de Chile my teacher told me that there is a lot of reference towards German culture and German ideals of orderliness and punctuality in Chile. And you can feel it in the whole way the country looks and works. She said among other South American countries Chileans are considered the Germans of South America.
    Pretty interesting experience.

      that's true, because they wouldn't like to be taken as common latinos, so they need to maintain their heritage and culture to feel different and sometimes better. Maybe the US germans don't have a problem with identifying themselves as americans because it is a big country and they are proud of it. So their ancestry culture tends to vanish faster.

    Both sides of my family ended up in Paraguay after ww2. They were ethnic Germans living in Ukraine (then part of the Soviet union) and were treated horribly by the Soviets. All 4 of my great grandfathers were sent to gulags in Siberia 3 of them died there and the reasons were, wanting to keep the land they had lived and worked on for generations, being a pastor at the village church and generally being anti communist. Once ww2 started and the Germans took their village they fled into German occupied Poland where both of my grandfathers were drafted into the German army, both survived the war. After the war the Soviets wanted all their citizens back which included my grandparents and their families and them not wanting to go back for fear of retaliation fled Europe. They ended up in Argentina and then moved into Paraguay because the Paraguay government wanted settlers in some region. They lived there for 10 years before they moved to Canada.

      @@ramonematosnieves4219 Other than the Bahia state, there's almost no residue of African culture outside of the Carnival, I'm not saying it's a bad thing, it's just that they're so intermixed with the rest of the population of Brazil that it's just "Brazilian culture," it's not a "separate entity" like the European ones.
      I think that happened because they were forcefully brought here, and no communities were allowed to form, without that, they couldn't bring their culture, still, while there's no "african culture fest," most of the culture coming from there is indeed already considered Brazilian Culture.
      To be honest, I prefer it that way, to hell with this race thing, if the culture is good, everyone should be able to experience it, and I love that Brazil do that with many cultures.

    Great video! I was born in south Brazil and therefore I can confirm the large contribution of german descendant to our culture - along with Guarani and Kaingang indigenous groups, African, Italian and East European descendants (I myself being a mixture of many of these). I'd just like to point out that Brazilian official Independence Day is Sept 7th 1822, and the first attempt to build a colony of German immigrants dates from 1818, however the first successful colonies were not established until 1824. So information given at 3:50 is technically correct, but I would stress that almost all German immigrants arrived after independence. That said, keep up the terrific work you're doing, I'm really enjoying these videos! ;-)

    I'm from Chile. Most of my ancestry is indigenous (aymara and chango from the North) but my great great grandfather was actually a German immigrant in the South of Chile. He was actually the illegitimate father of my great grandmother so we don't know much about him but I think he came over because the Chilean government was sort giving away land and money to people who could develop the southern regions like the araucania. At that point, the spanish and chilean government had sort of abandoned it as they were met with a lot of resistance from Mapuche tribes. Sadly, this influx of Germans and taking the land of the natives has led to many problems nowadays and terrorist groups have formed to take back so called 'mapuche land'. It is a very difficult topic but I don't think it justifies the violence.

Many speak the dialect (Hunsrück) and the traditions are very much alive, like Kerb and Oktober fests, architecture (fachwerk) and so on. There are even those who root for the German soccer team instead of the Brazilian. Yeah, really (even before 2014). The intermixing with Brazilian culture is very slim because the Germans came to isolated places and the distance between German and Portuguese is so much greater than German and English for example.

      wild one.. Yes Britain ended slavery on its own accord thanks to anti slavery campaigners like Thomas Clarkson or William Wilberforce. However this was only made possible because, the millions British slave owners were generously compensated by the British state. Ironically the British slave owners received compensation but the slaves themselves received no compensation whatsoever. Not many people in GB are aware that ordinary citizens in Britain owned slaves for domestic purposes or they received slaves in a will when the original slave owners died.

    • @borussiagermania4089
      @borussiagermania4089 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It's a fact that there were domestic slaves all over Britain owned by ordinary people. Mostly in England and Wales. Britain Internationally paints a picture of innocence in regards to the 200 years of Slavery and the terrible impact Britain had on British colonies. It's a case of "collective denial" and the inhabitants of Britain actually claim the former colonies benefited from being colonised and enslaved by the British. The British "Whitewashed" their history. I have heard estimates that up to 70 million people died in India alone during British rule.

      Borussia Germania you are right... the British did have slaves but called them servants.. the only difference between those slaves and the ones brought to the west probably was that they went abused, tortured, raped and killed. I believe some even rose to certain prominent positions in society by making a name for themselves as musicians, hairdressers and dress makers to the wealthy.

    Congratulations on the video! I’m actually Brazilian who lives in the South and have German ancestry. You said it right that they did mix, specially with Italians (I also have Italian ancestry and last name), but a while ago there was an issue with marriages between even descendants of Germans and Italians. Usually the Italians would be catholic and the Germans Protestant, so this was the real issue. You should have commented on a weird thing that happens here: Italian descendants who only speak German as a second language. This is the case with both sides of my family, both of them came (mostly) from Italy but weird enough, both sides would communicate only in German at home. And another interesting fact that was missed was that the 1964 dictatorship forbade everybody of speaking their languages (some people would not even know how to speak Portuguese) and they literally spied on people and punished them for speaking any other language that’s not Portuguese. Even though that happened, the languages continue to be widely spoken here. This whole thing is a very interesting phenomena. Thanks for dedicating your time and presenting this subject! 🙂

Certain Mennonite groups are more evangelical than others, so though Dutch/German ancestry is the origin of many, Mennonites may be of any ethnicity due to conversions.

    As an American Navy Brat I lived in Talcahuano (sic) Chile 1961 to 1964 I was 12-13 it was real good for me , I learned Spanish (easy when you are young )and made many friends, I still want to go back there . I was familiar with the Marineros parading but later I was shocked during a Military parade where the Army was the main part of the parade , I had a good view with my father right next to the viewing platform and entire regiments goose stepped by wearing authentic WW2 German uniforms with Stalhiem helmets . I was totally not expecting that my father calmed me down and shortly with the US Ambassador I met and shock hands with Pinochet. The impression I got was that many of the Steel mills were constructed by the Germans and that they were very much involved in the mining of Saltpeter and nitrates this mineral meant a lot to Germany in order to make gunpowder and explosives . Very quickly the Brits shut down any of this from getting to Germany and I think Germany found other ways to make gunpowder and explosives . Many Germans who worked in those industries sat out the War there and helped set out the welcome mat for Germans to come over to Chile after the 2nd WW. During WW1 there was the Battle of Coronell where offshore from Chile the German fleet defeated the British fleet. Afterwards the German fleet paid a visit to Valparaiso Chile where thousands of cheering Germans cheered on the victors The wild celebrations made front page in all the papers at that time . Like many SA Countries the branches of services were jealous of each other and often did not trust each other . When I was there the Chilean Navy had close ties with England and had English made Destroyers . The Chilean Air Force had close ties with the USA and flew the Panther jets that were used in Korea . The Chilean Army seemed to have no one sponsoring them but the Germans prior had set them up making excellent Chilean Mausers and other equipment along with the steel mills .
    I attended a British School when I was there the only American kid in the school, I was forced every school day to lead everyone with “Rule Britannia” as they raised the Union Jack . We had many German school friends who we would gang up with after soccer games to bully and harass the French school . Awesome good times . Twice we took the US Naval Mission plane (C 47 ?)down to the Patagonia where we landed on dirt strips and met up with some German communities centered around retired industrialists they weren’t expecting us so they went out an shot a deer and a boar to eat . It was a trip to have all these blond haired kids running out to the plane to meet us . A lot of German was spoken which I understood none . We communicated with each other in Spanish .
    Anyway that was my experience with Germans in Chile !

It’s very common to encounter German last names, yet the people very rarely have some kind of connection with their German ancestry. Germans,just like every other migrant group, Heavily mixed with other ethnicities, so it’s very very rare to meet someone who is fully of German ancestry (while it’s not uncommon for that to happen with Italian, Jewish or Spanish families for example).Most people I know with german ancestry usually are half Italian and may have Italian surnames, or they are Jewish. And they never look how you’d expect a german person would stereotypically look (the blonde, blue eyes archetype) by far, most people who look like that are Italian, Spanish, polish and Jewish.

    In the south of Latin America we live most of the whites of the region. Mexico is very indigenous and mestizo but traveling to the south everything changes. Especially in Argentina, Uruguay, southern Brazil and Chile. The most white country of the new world is not Canada or the United States, it is Uruguay.

    I am Colombian of german descent. My family was initially Volga Germans that emigrated to East Germany and then to Colombia. They were offered a job working on railroad construction. Later they emigrated to the east of the country (llanos) and founded some terrains, and now they work in agriculture. There are some Germans communities in Colombia, specially in Santander, Barranquilla, Cali and Bogotá.

    Brazilian here, from the south. German are totally integrated to Brazil. Our south region was colonized by germans far before the war, the imigration from germany wass prohibited when Brazil entered the war side by side with the US and fought several battles in Italy, the most famous one was "mount castle" battle won by Brazil alone.
    I can guarantee that there is no nazism among the german here, since I am jew and married with a women from german family in the south.
    Also, Americans dont know this, but Brazil is a center right country with a very very big crhisthian comunity. Please stop conflating us with bolivia, argentina and the likes.

    Mennonites in the US did not change their name to Amish. The Amish and Mennonites are similar but not the same. Just like the name Amish comes from the name of the religious leader who started the order, the name Mennonite comes from the name of the religious leader who started that order. The Amish shun the use of electricity, gas/fuel powered equipment, and indoor plumbing. The Mennonites use gas/fuel powered equipment to work their farms and may have electricity in a barn or work shed for using certain equipment but do not have electricity or indoor plumbing in their homes. In the US, you can usually tell who is Amish and who is Mennonite by the color of their clothing. The Amish men always wear somber white shirts and black pants, coat, and hat and Amish women wear either black or gray dresses. The Mennonite men may wear subdued colored shirts and Mennonite women usually wear subdued colored or subdued patterned dresses.

    Gisele Bündchen, a supermodel who has been the highest paid supermodel for a while, as well as the wife of Tom Brady, is an example of a German Brazilian. Other Brazilian models with German ancestry include Ana Hickmann, Ana Claudia Michels, Mariana Weickert, Letícia Birkheuer, Raquel Zimmerman, Cintia Dicker (English/Scottish surname), Solange Wilvert (English surname), Monique Olsen (Danish/Norwegian surname), Carol Trentini (Italian surname), Jeísa Chiminazzo (Italian surname), Shirley Mallmann, Camila Finn, Bruna Erhardt and Aline Weber, who all (except for Camila Finn) come from Rio Grande do Sul or Santa Catarina, two of the three states that make up southern Brazil (the third being Parana).

    La Colonia Tovar in Venezuela is one of the saddest stories of migrants here. They were forcefully isolated and could only trade with a "pimp" who didn't give them enough profits for their work. Their journey towards South America was also precariously planned, many were forced to throw away the bodies of loved ones off board. The place is currently a city that attracks many tourists and even holds an Oktoberfest festival every year.
