Germans trickled in to major US cities in response to the Industrial Revolution, and the demand for cheap immigrant labor made the US an attractive destination for immigration. Following the revolutions in German states in 1848, a wave of immigrant refugees flooded the United States and became known as Forty-Eighters. Heavy German immigration to the United States occurred between 1848 and World War I, during which time nearly 6 million Germans immigrated to the U.S. The Germans became widespread throughout the Northern half of the country, e ...

114,000 Germans came to the United States between 1931 and 1940, many of whom were anti-Nazis fleeing government oppression. [5] About 25,000 people became paying members of the pro-Nazi German American Bund during the years before the war. [6] German Americans who had been born overseas were the subject of some suspicion and discrimination during the war, although prejudice and sheer numbers meant they suffered less than Japanese Americans. The Alien Registration Act of 1940 required 300,000 German born U.S. resident aliens to register with ...

After two or three generations in America the Germans assimilated to American customs--some of which they heavily influenced--and switched their language to English. As one scholar concludes, "The overwhelming evidence ... indicates that the German-American school was a bilingual one much (perhaps a whole generation or more) earlier than 1917, and that the majority of the pupils may have been English-dominant bilinguals from the early 1880's on." [1] By 1914 the older members were attending German language church services while the younger m ...

German immigrants made up a substantial population of colonial Pennsylvania, where they often came into political conflict with the Quakers. The first German settlement in Pennsylvania was founded in 1683, although some Germans were already in America in other colonies at that time. Eventually, Germans would constitute about one-third of the population of Pennsylvania at the time of the Revolution. A large German colony in Virginia called Germanna was located near Culpeper and was founded by two waves of colonists in 1714 and 1717. Ma ...

When Germanic immigrants first arrived in Brazil starting at the beginning of the 1800's they did not identify themselves so much as a unified German-Brazilian group. However, as time went on this common regional identity did emerge for many different geo-socio-political reasons. Germans immigrated from Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Russia. Some of them came from Spanish-speaking Latin American countries. During World War II, the government of Brazilian dictator Getúlio Vargas initiated a strict program of forced cultural assimilation - Nacionalismo - ...

With this situation, most Germans who immigrated to Brazil during the 20th century settled in big towns, Although, many of them also settled in the old rural German colonies. The German immigration to Brazil had its largest numbers during the 1920s, after World War I. These Germans were mostly middle-class laborers from urban areas of Germany, different from the poor agriculturists tha ...

However, German is still spoken by over 600,000 Brazilians, as first or second language.

During the 19th century, German immigrants in Brazil settled mostly in rural areas, named colony (colônia in Portuguese).
