Brazil has the largest population of Italian descendents outside of Italy, Portuguese outside of Portugal, Africans outside of Africa and Japanese outside of Japan
As a Brazilian with German ancestry, congrats on the excellent vídeo. As an interesting note, in Brazil during WWII many German colonies or people who spoke German received similar and in some instances worse treatment as the Japanese on the USA.
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?"
@Alexander You grandparents may not have done anything stupid, but others tried and that was the reason for what happened. In Brazil you can be whoever you want, you know that, as long as you don't betray the "Patria".
@@siriemapantanal6894 Quanta besteira. Vargas era tradicionalista gaúcho, ressentido com os imigrantes recém chegados. A censura do idioma alemão no Brasil, o que inclui nomes de cidades e falar o idioma em público, foi pura xenofobia.
@@Sakian1000 Acho que o senhor nao entendeu o que foi escrito em ingles. De qualquer modo houve sim naquela epoca brasileiros metidos a besta tentando ficar ao lado dos nazistas naquele conflito e dai o problema com a lingua alema no Brasil e que se nao fosse por isso muito provavelmente a lingua alema hoje seria co-oficial senao a nivel nacional pelo menos a nivel regional. E germanicos no Brasil nao tem so no RS. Parece que o senhor nunca ouviu falar das "Deutsch Schule" espalhadas pelo interior de S.Paulo e que foram fundadas pelos alemaes por volta de 1839 e que depois da II GM, por volta de 1945, foram fechadas por decreto por esse tradicionalista gaucho burro, muita tradição da nisso, e que ainda conseguiram sobreviver e hoje é o atual Colegio Visconde de Porto Seguro, o maior colegio alemao do mundo, repito, do mundo.
USA has more than 50 millions german descendants, but german culture is more striking in southern Brazil than in the United States. There are more german speakers in Brazil than in the US. In addition, the largest Oktoberfest in the world outside Germany is in Brazil!!!!
The reason that german culture isn't as striking in the US as in Brazil is that after/during WWI and especially WWII anti-german sentiments forced germans into giving up or hiding their cultural heritage.
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.
Here in Brazil we have about 10 million people of German ancestry (also some swiss and austrians). One of the has even become the president (Ernesto Geisel). Many artists and famous people of Brazil have, like Giselle Bundchen and also lots of politicians and judges.
i went to southern brasil ot is mostly pardo people, you can see african features even in the 'whites' of brasil, you are a mixed race country mostly african though because of millions and millions of slaves bought to brasil
We brazilians are not so racists like the argentinians, we don't care if the whites are 10% to 20% non european. We just don't like the stereotypes spreaded around. Google "race and ethnicity in Brazil" and learn something instead of spreading superficial opinions and inaccuracies
+Maximus Leone the majority percentage Of brazillian genes are from white people, so you're wrong you can say in any genetic search. a genetic search in Rio de Janeiro identifyed that percentage Of european genes in black people were like 30-50% in half Of the people. but it's true a lot Of white brazillians has a lot Of non-caucasian genes, but it doesn't make them mixed raced. if you skin is white you are white, simply. but you can be a white person with other races admixtures in another aspects Of your fisionomy. but brazil has like 100.000.000 white people, you can do a country with 90-100% genetic european with like 40.000.000 Of people with you use brazillian white people.
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.
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.
Who cares...7-1 , but Brazil still is the only country with 5 World Cup Football titles, including the 2002 World Cup, when they beat Germany by a 2-0 score in the final...and again in the Olympic Game..😊😉
I used to date a German-Chilean girl a couple years ago (I'm Chilean too), her grandfather was running from the Nazi regime back in Europe, and he was thinking in going to Brazil, but he ended up in Chile, where he met her grandmother, it was a wild history lol
Because 2 reasons, I was really curious about her second-last name (as you may know, we use both last names in Spanish speaking countries) because I knew she was a German descent, and she told me the history, also her mother told me the same during a trip we did, I still even remember her words "my grandfather running from the Nazi regime, he was not a Nazi, he did not like Hitler, but he was neither a communist too, but when he noticed that the regime was becoming "strong" he ran away, he was alone so he fled alone..." and the other reason was because she really loved me, not now for sure, but yes at that time
Masaman Hey, just wanted to inform you that "Latein Amerika" is actually a single word in German spelled "Lateinamerika". No big deal, just a little sidenote from a native speaker.
This is Chilenean diplomacy at it's best. Much respect, and I don't even think you've been funded by the chileanean goverment. So basically much respect from an argie, to be completely honest I wish I was born in Chile. Great diplomats! Much respect 👏
@King is Back nazis fled to Argentina, Brazil fought alongside US in Italy, and here thetes even persecution of germans already living here... Nazis did came, but with fake identitys.
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.
Brazil love it's migrant communities, Germans, Italians and the Japanese are the most loved ones, other than the Portuguese of course, so these people will always have their culture mixed with ours, it's hard to find a fair without these brought along
@@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.
There are a lot of pardos, that’s true but not blacks. I live in Australia and I see more blacks here than in southern Brazil. Larger capital cities are a hub for migrants from other parts of the country so they are hardly a true witness to what happens in the south. Mind you it also depends on what region of the south you are and what micro region as each one suffered different influences, another demographic aspect would be fertility rates amongst the non whites. Since the 70s and birth control pills the most affluent (middle class) which was predominantly white is having less and less children. Mind you I’m talking exclusively about the south herw
@@bleecker8056 yes. Because the first inhabitants of the Argentina were Spanish adventurers traveling alone ( with no women) or criminals to whom the Spaniards gave liberty to explore the Americas. When the massive western Europeans immigration came, there was already a lot of mixing. This means that a Swiss immigrant who married a white person, there was a big chance he had at least some Amerindian. Being mestizo is like a Russian roulette of genetics because I'm more Hispanic and my brother is white. Anyway the great philosophers and leaders tried to "europize" the country, worked for a few decades but with the ww2 and populist government needing cheap votes, they bring the mixing again lol
@@bleecker8056 you think people will believe you that? its ridiculous, the majority of argentines are European Therefore, most Argentines are of European descent, and are either descendants of colonial-era settlers and/or of the 19th and 20th century immigrants from Europe, with about 86% of the population being of ethnic European descent. The most common ethnic groups are Italian and Spanish (including Galicians and Basques).
@@cozytimes4461 For me it's the same things Italians and Spaniards are all descendants of the Moors! Do not dare if you compare the German race (pure is smart).
In the city I grew up in South Brazil, literally, everyone had German ancestry, it was a normal thing there and I never really wondered why because it was just the way it was, my grandmother speaks German (Not really, she speaks like a mix of German and Portuguese), but sadly my parents never learned German so I never learned it. It's so cool to see how history affects directly your life, thanks for making a video like this, I always liked history and peoples but I never really thought that I was part of it until I watched this video :)
Almost half of our population are mestizos and we don't even have a relevant far-right party. Besides, Argentina has one of the biggest jewish population in the world. So, what the hell are you talking about?
Ópallios Well, hardly half are mestizos. More than a quarter at most. We had 5-6 million European immigrants, most Argentines have more European descent than the other way round.
Yes i used to be alcoholic, which is defeneatly not normal in Germany but when i am in other countrys i always say its our tradition to drink so much Beer haha, works every time :'D
berzerker1100 this problem was planed by the usa we still are a colony of them since the second world war and their plan is the hootan plan which is working more and more
Obama and Hillary started the migrant crisis but Angela Merkel is totally complicit in this invasion against her own people. Obama and Hillary are gone but Merkel is your problem. German people have a choice. They need to appreciate and reassert themselves and get out of the EU or else fade away.
Wow. Most of the Latinos are germans but from the Nazism, but at the same time Jews. WTF??? CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT.. THERE JEWS AND NAZIS AND LATIN AMERICA UNITED AND PEACEFUL... WHAT SHIT USA SOLD ON TV ABOUT HATE BETWEEN JEWS AND ARYANS WHEJ THEY LIVE IN THE MOST PEACEFUL REGION OF THE WORLD
Way too expensive. Taxes everywhere, low salaries. Only a little less dangerous than the average of Latin America. Just as corrupt as the rest of Latin America. But at least we're not Venezuela (yet).
ReconPro yes they exist in populations in I think it was Turkmenistan but take that with a grain of salt. It was one of the countries that ended with Stan but not Afghanistan. They are thriving there too. Not in Afghanistan though. And also there are populations in eastern China with Germans. Put a German on a stone and he will do what it takes to survive. Even if it means rooting out the Jews. Just kidding, I have little against the Germans. Some of them are even good people.
There used to be many germans in central asia and russia, where some regions had a german majority, like around the Volga. Kazakstan still has small pockets of them, but many germans (including me and my mother) moved back to germany at the start of the 21st century, because germany invited all those people back to germany. The funny thing is that most of them are culturally closer to russians, so in many places in germany the "russian minority" are actually german.
If i recall correctly, the first german to step on brazilian land was a passenger of a shipwrecked ship from Bremen in the XVI century. His name was Hans Staden and he recorded his experience with the canibals in the coast (who almost devoured him too). After returning to Europe, his report was well known throughout the whole continent.
German surnames are still common in southern Brazil and in some cases are the majority. German clerics or of German origin are very influential in the Catholic Church. German schools were abolished during WWII, as were Italian and Japanese, and lessons in Portuguese made mandatory. The first time I went to Paraguay near the Brazilian border, I ended up talking German to get around as I did not speak Spanish or Guarani.
Dimas Gramz I’m so glad to see this video. I’m from Rio Grande do Sul and my grandfather came from Prussia in the beginning of the last century. We have a very strong German culture down here. 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. So little is known about us, it makes me happy to see this work you’re doing Masaman. I feel honored. Herzlich Glückwunsch!
Once I've dated a "white chick" from Puebla her grandparents left austria in times of Nazi presecution and lived for their rest of their years under Mexican protection.
as a brazillian with my mothers family being german and my fathers family being italian i must say thank you for doing this video,it was extremlly informative
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.
Of course. You are thinking of the Amish Mennonites (a small sub-sect), and some of them do use the internet, each church is autonomous and not beholden to other church's positions. The point of the Amish is not to shun technology for technology's sake, but it is to live ascetic lives. All mennonites pursue an aspect of asceticism, but most do not shun technology.
Many Mennonites do speak German dialects, but I've never lived in those circles. Most Mennonites in America speak English and the Mennonites of Asia and Africa speak whatever language is local to their area. 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.
Some regions of Brazil still speak Hunsrückisch and Pomeranian dialects as a second language (or spoken inside home, with friends or by old people as first language). Some cities in the south are almost totally german or italian in population.
am i not stating facts when over half of brasilians have african blood. doesnt take much to prove it just hop on a plane and go to RDJ or Sao Paolo its clearly prado country. the same cannot be said about argentina
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! ;-)
X M16 You are racist. You insist that people who happened to be Dutch(and they can't chose where they will born and as who they will born) are racist. So you are talking that Peoples X are bad because they are X (ant let's remember they have no influence on that they are X). And this(what you said about Dutch) is definition of Racism.
Hey I'm that too, I have German blood and Austrian blood, my German ancestors were farmers that came to Mexico(Germans came to the west part of Mexico and the northern east part). And my Austrian ancestor was a soldier for the mexican emperor Maximiliam from Austria. They come from 2 sides of my family interestingly enough
Shut the fuck up, all the races are the same. I don't have native Mexican blood but I do have Arab blood. Saying that a race is " purer " or have a higher status than another is stupid
Maximus Leone lol that's a lie. I'm from Central America and my great great grandfather came from Germany. I was born with gray eyes and blonde hair and pale. My beard is red and supposedly I carry the red hair gene. If I go out to the rural America everyone treats me no differently. Except for my name and you know what? My Grandfather embraced where he stayed and mixed with the culture. So, there's no reason to try and "act" something we Latins are not.

Small number of people of Germanic descent in Jamaica and the Cayman islands; results of a ship wreck over a century ago; that's how my grandfather got here.
TazeoTV not In Jamaica. about three hundred of them were brought here to Seaford town to help make JAMAICA white again long after slavery was abolished and indentureship clearly wasn't working out. these Germans got free land and housing. many left because it was just too hard to survive there. just a few handful still live there today
Large number of people of British descent in Jamaica and the Cayman Islands: Result of over 200 years of exploiting slaves worldwide and the slave trade by the British Empire.
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.
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.
If I recall correctly they were actually Irish. Irish battalions serving the U.S. army deserted their ranks to join Mexico due to the discrimination they received for being Catholics. Fun fact Billy the Kid, an American outlaw of Irish descent was reportedly able to speak Irish(Gaeilge), English, and Spanish(After moving out west.)

Max Cruz You’re either a troll or you’re really that moronic. Most Mexicans are mixed with indigenous and European blood, but whites make up a large minority in Mexico. Genetic studies also show Mexicans having about the same genetic mixture as Chileans and Costa Ricans.
Most of these descendants are part of the high class in these countries, that' s why is so common to see politicians and businessmen with German last names, here in Chile immediately come to my mind last names like Kreutzberger, Ebensperger, Kaiser, Kast, Boddenhoffer, Munchmeyer, Krauss, Hutt, Weil, etc. etc.

The Greater Mexico City region has a network of German-language schools, Colegio Alemán Alexander von Humboldt, A. C. This whole network makes it the largest German-speaking school outside of Germany.
@masaman there's a German community in Jamaica as well. They came as indentured servants when slavery ended in 1838. They're pretty much Jamaican now but have their German names etc. Their community is called German Town. Lots of videos about them on UA-cam, check them out!
Models scouts in Brazil love going to Southern Brazil in search of models of German descent. European in origin in general. Such models include Gisele Bundchen, Cintia Dicker, Monique Olsen, Raquel Zimmerman, Caroline Trentini, and Luma Grothe.

I live in a city in the center of Argentina and we have several towns (Hinojo, Colonia Hinojo, Colonia Nievas and Colonia San Miguel) right outside mine that were founded by Volga Germans during the mid to late 1800s. They have yearly festivals that include traditional German dances, music, arts and crafts, food and, of course, beer. But while most of the people that live there have German surnames, most don't speak a word of the language.

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 !
That's awesome. Here in southeast Brazil we have so much German and Italian influence in culture, music and also In blood. So, I have discovered studying my genealogy that I have a mix of almost all European countries, but the most prominent are the portugese, German and Italian.
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! 🙂
Hi Masaman, I follow your channel since a long time, I am a German born in Guatemala. Thanks for the research, it is important no to forget the roots. Viele Grüße aus Stuttgart.
Great video with a lot German history .Amazing how many descendants are living throughout all of the South American countries and even in northern Mexico.
In Mexico, during the Spanish Conquest, many Spaniards stayed in Mexico, also during the war with France, many French also stayed in Mexico, from here the White Mexicans arise, the other part are the mestizo Mexicanis (Spanish + Indigenous), Long live diversity Latin America!
At 5:23 yeah I saw people like that before at my job in el paso. It was pretty strange because it was a family of four and looked super white but spoke only spanish and wore really traditional looking clothing
It's great many good ppl from ALL Europe settled in our countries in the past centuries. Sadly so many trolls are coming to say too many BS here. Thank you Mason!
I love this channel so much! Great content, great presentation, great editing, and all around just a good vibe from it. I learn something from every one of your videos. Keep up the good work mate! (also why don't you have a Patreon?)
My great grandfather moved from Germany to Mexico city! Respect and Salute the Mexicans for giving us a place to hide after the war! Germans have specialized in war since there existence we are all over the damn place because of that.
Chile cannot into video :(. My city (Valdivia) was largely influenced by German culture, a lot of buildings still have their architecture. There's also a fairly popular beer here called Kunstmann created by a German-Chilean family.
Max Mustermann Unfortunately most of those Germans can't just leave their lives to come back to their home country and start from zero. On the other hand I find it funny and a bit ironic that many ethnic Germans left to South America to start a better life or to escape the nazis decades ago and now their country of origin is THE place where migrants and refugees are fleeing to.
This is what I was thinking - you'd think the German state, knowing it has a demographic disaster ahead, would get ethnic Germans to return to Germany? Hell, bring some Mennonites back and the German population will rebound in 2 generations. But of course, they seem to want to bring in migrants who seem to hate the German people, culture and tradition and only wish to be a burden to the State.
Piss is English/Australian slang for alcohol especially beer because it comes out looking the same as it did when went in. I suspect that the meaning is the same in that dialect of German. So it looks like a pisswagen is for getting pissed. Also since the word Piss comes from a french word which comes from vulgar latin.. It was probably the romans who first made the connection that beer and urine look similar...
I have Volga German ancestry, from Entre Ríos province (Argentina). Volga Germans celebrate Oktoberfest in some villages. Volga German food is quite popular here such as piroks (beerocks), torta rusa ( cake with Dinnekuche on top) and Kreppels (Russian German fried cakes)
I'm Mexican and I have relatives who are married with Germans that resided in Mexico due to ww2 I find it cool knowing that someone in my family is one of those few Latin germans
Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Chile in that order have percentages of Germanic descendants ranging from 5 to 2. All other numbers are overestimated.
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.
Brazil has the largest population of Italian descendents outside of Italy, Portuguese outside of Portugal, Africans outside of Africa and Japanese outside of Japan

As a Brazilian with German ancestry, congrats on the excellent vídeo.
As an interesting note, in Brazil during WWII many German colonies or people who spoke German received similar and in some instances worse treatment as the Japanese on the USA.
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?"

@@matiasgonzalez1878 whos responsible for all the homicides then? Let me guess...
USA has more than 50 millions german descendants, but german culture is more striking in southern Brazil than in the United States. There are more german speakers in Brazil than in the US. In addition, the largest Oktoberfest in the world outside Germany is in Brazil!!!!
The more I hear about Brazil the more I want to go.
Try visiting the southern rural communities. In some reserved places most of the population still speaks a german dialect.
The reason that german culture isn't as striking in the US as in Brazil is that after/during WWI and especially WWII anti-german sentiments forced germans into giving up or hiding their cultural heritage.
Actually, the Brazilian government only gave land to the German immigrants. The own immigrants who built schools, hospitals and cities.
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.
Here in Brazil we have about 10 million people of German ancestry (also some swiss and austrians). One of the has even become the president (Ernesto Geisel). Many artists and famous people of Brazil have, like Giselle Bundchen and also lots of politicians and judges.
i went to southern brasil ot is mostly pardo people, you can see african features even in the 'whites' of brasil, you are a mixed race country mostly african though because of millions and millions of slaves bought to brasil
We brazilians are not so racists like the argentinians, we don't care if the whites are 10% to 20% non european. We just don't like the stereotypes spreaded around. Google "race and ethnicity in Brazil" and learn something instead of spreading superficial opinions and inaccuracies
+Maximus Leone the majority percentage Of brazillian genes are from white people, so you're wrong you can say in any genetic search. a genetic search in Rio de Janeiro identifyed that percentage Of european genes in black people were like 30-50% in half Of the people.
but it's true a lot Of white brazillians has a lot Of non-caucasian genes, but it doesn't make them mixed raced. if you skin is white you are white, simply. but you can be a white person with other races admixtures in another aspects Of your fisionomy.
but brazil has like 100.000.000 white people, you can do a country with 90-100% genetic european with like 40.000.000 Of people with you use brazillian white people.

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.

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.

I used to date a German-Chilean girl a couple years ago (I'm Chilean too), her grandfather was running from the Nazi regime back in Europe, and he was thinking in going to Brazil, but he ended up in Chile, where he met her grandmother, it was a wild history lol
So he was a commie? I'm surprised Pinochet spared him.
Because 2 reasons, I was really curious about her second-last name (as you may know, we use both last names in Spanish speaking countries) because I knew she was a German descent, and she told me the history, also her mother told me the same during a trip we did, I still even remember her words "my grandfather running from the Nazi regime, he was not a Nazi, he did not like Hitler, but he was neither a communist too, but when he noticed that the regime was becoming "strong" he ran away, he was alone so he fled alone..." and the other reason was because she really loved me, not now for sure, but yes at that time
He was not a commie actually, he was mostly apolitical, he never had trouble with Pinochet, because he "was never in anything political related"

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.

@@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.

Being mestizo is like a Russian roulette of genetics because I'm more Hispanic and my brother is white.

Kazakstan still has small pockets of them, but many germans (including me and my mother) moved back to germany at the start of the 21st century, because germany invited all those people back to germany.

If i recall correctly, the first german to step on brazilian land was a passenger of a shipwrecked ship from Bremen in the XVI century.

After returning to Europe, his report was well known throughout the whole continent.
Like Ulrich Schmidl
German surnames are still common in southern Brazil and in some cases are the majority. German clerics or of German origin are very influential in the Catholic Church. German schools were abolished during WWII, as were Italian and Japanese, and lessons in Portuguese made mandatory.

There are even those who root for the German soccer team instead of the Brazilian. Yeah, really (even before 2014).

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.

Of course. You are thinking of the Amish Mennonites (a small sub-sect), and some of them do use the internet, each church is autonomous and not beholden to other church's positions. The point of the Amish is not to shun technology for technology's sake, but it is to live ascetic lives. All mennonites pursue an aspect of asceticism, but most do not shun technology.
Kannst du noch deutsch?
My impression is that they may know Plattdeutsch or Alemannisch better than standard German, but I might be wrong
Many Mennonites do speak German dialects, but I've never lived in those circles. Most Mennonites in America speak English and the Mennonites of Asia and Africa speak whatever language is local to their area. 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.
Some regions of Brazil still speak Hunsrückisch and Pomeranian dialects as a second language (or spoken inside home, with friends or by old people as first language). Some cities in the south are almost totally german or italian in population.
It's Rio Grande do sul, and a bit of Santa Catarina. It's very interesting.

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.

Large number of people of British descent in Jamaica and the Cayman Islands: Result of over 200 years of exploiting slaves worldwide and the slave trade by the British Empire.
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.
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.

Most of these descendants are part of the high class in these countries, that' s why is so common to see politicians and businessmen with German last names, here in Chile immediately come to my mind last names like Kreutzberger, Ebensperger, Kaiser, Kast, Boddenhoffer, Munchmeyer, Krauss, Hutt, Weil, etc. etc.
Isn't German immigration to Latin America, specifically Mexico, also why lagers are so prominent there, like in the USA?
In my hometown it is not uncommon to hear people speaking in German on the sidewalks, buses and so on... New Hamburg, Brazil... settled 1825.
Feliz é praticamente uma cidade alemã, parece que lá todo mundo fala alemão.
my german ancestors settled there too, from frankfurt right?
@@pedrojioia yes most settlers from the 1st to the 3rd wave came from the Hunrück (Rheinland-Pfalz) area near Frankfurt, Koblenz, Trier...
Rodrigo Boos Just realized it is Novo Hamburgo and not Nova Friburgo, but yea my family came in there after the swiss settlers
@@h-p2908 olá ontem fui ao oftalmo e duas senhoras na sala de espera estavam falando alemao (hunsrückish)... mas acho que essa geração infelizmente está nos deixando...
The Greater Mexico City region has a network of German-language schools, Colegio Alemán Alexander von Humboldt, A. C. This whole network makes it the largest German-speaking school outside of Germany.
U r right jalisco Monterey chewawa zacatecaz has alot if German blood and schools I do lol Google amish zacatecaz
Who told you such nonsense?
Lol no
I’m a proud Mexican-German/Dutch 🇲🇽🇩🇪🇳🇱 I love kalter hund
@masaman there's a German community in Jamaica as well. They came as indentured servants when slavery ended in 1838. They're pretty much Jamaican now but have their German names etc. Their community is called German Town. Lots of videos about them on UA-cam, check them out!
Models scouts in Brazil love going to Southern Brazil in search of models of German descent. European in origin in general. Such models include Gisele Bundchen, Cintia Dicker, Monique Olsen, Raquel Zimmerman, Caroline Trentini, and Luma Grothe.
That's kinda messed up tbh
@@pseudo4914 nah their just hot
@Careless Whisper Non-Iberian in General. Most Europeans that settled in southern Brazil were from Northern Italy(mainly Veneto) southern Germany and Poland. Many other top Brazilian models tend to be of northern Italian and slavic heritage as well.

I live in a city in the center of Argentina and we have several towns (Hinojo, Colonia Hinojo, Colonia Nievas and Colonia San Miguel) right outside mine that were founded by Volga Germans during the mid to late 1800s. They have yearly festivals that include traditional German dances, music, arts and crafts, food and, of course, beer. But while most of the people that live there have German surnames, most don't speak a word of the language.
Hi Kat, my German cousin lives in Resistencia. Our family was from the Stuttgart area of Germany, and settled in the Black Sea region of today's Ukraine and Moldova. I live in the U.S.
Do the Northern Crusades!!!
yes
You can believe that happen already? in the mexican revolution, the northen armies conquer mexico city
The world fought the wrong enemy...!
In world war 1 yes, not in world war 2
Now that we fought and defeated Germany we now have a bunch of Zionist new world order globalists who have taken power in most 1st world countries, destroying cultures all over the world
@@johnc.5600 that`s right
@@johnc.5600 hmm 3 western democracies vs 3 monarch dictatorships funny how you think the latter is preferable.
Unjo Gratis A higher percentage of German citizens had voting rights in Germany than in Britain. French was a military dictator ship and was filled with hatred against germany. There were more socialists in parliament in Germany than in any other country. No Germany’s destiny was to rule over Europe as they do now.
Good one! More German stuff please:)
argentina is mostly german and a little bit of italian over 50%\have Scandinavian.Germanic background
@@maxcruz1850 nonsense, even 60% of argentina population is italian descendants from maradona to messi🤣🤣🤣
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 !
That's awesome. Here in southeast Brazil we have so much German and Italian influence in culture, music and also In blood. So, I have discovered studying my genealogy that I have a mix of almost all European countries, but the most prominent are the portugese, German and Italian.
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! 🙂
Hi Mason. Great video. Regards from Argentina!
Hi Masaman, I follow your channel since a long time, I am a German born in Guatemala. Thanks for the research, it is important no to forget the roots. Viele Grüße aus Stuttgart.
Great video with a lot German history .Amazing how many descendants are living throughout all of the South American countries and even in northern Mexico.
In Mexico, during the Spanish Conquest, many Spaniards stayed in Mexico, also during the war with France, many French also stayed in Mexico, from here the White Mexicans arise, the other part are the mestizo Mexicanis (Spanish + Indigenous), Long live diversity Latin America!
At 5:23 yeah I saw people like that before at my job in el paso. It was pretty strange because it was a family of four and looked super white but spoke only spanish and wore really traditional looking clothing
Good to know that at least some Germans will remain after they will be replaced in their homeland.
hhh but some germans already replaced the natives in the americas.
nah
@@aragti6060 Natives were replaced by Brits.
Brazillian here. Ancestors came from the city of Hamburg to Rio grande do sul.
Thank you SOOO much. Great video
It's great many good ppl from ALL Europe settled in our countries in the past centuries. Sadly so many trolls are coming to say too many BS here.
Thank you Mason!
We have a lot of menonites in the Dominican Republic, especially in the Cordillera Central
You should research info about inmigration in Argentina between 1860-1950, millions of italians, germans, russians, frenchs and brithish came here.
I'm from Maracaibo. This city was founded three times because it was hard to settle in here. The natural conditions of the place are harsh.
I live in the south of Brazil, my grandmother only speaks german, doesn´t know a single word of portuguese, so as her mother, father and siblings
I love this channel so much! Great content, great presentation, great editing, and all around just a good vibe from it. I learn something from every one of your videos. Keep up the good work mate!
(also why don't you have a Patreon?)
My great grandfather moved from Germany to Mexico city! Respect and Salute the Mexicans for giving us a place to hide after the war! Germans have specialized in war since there existence we are all over the damn place because of that.
Chile cannot into video :(. My city (Valdivia) was largely influenced by German culture, a lot of buildings still have their architecture. There's also a fairly popular beer here called Kunstmann created by a German-Chilean family.
Interesting documentary and definitely educational. Thanks for posting!
IMO mexican Banda music sounds like German polka music. The Beer and Cheese from Mexico seems to have some German influence too. Not just Spanish.
Germany is listening ! Hello to all!
Deutschland uber alles!
I'd appreciate, if people with German roots would come back to Germany. This would help solving demographical issues in Germany.
Max Mustermann Unfortunately most of those Germans can't just leave their lives to come back to their home country and start from zero.
On the other hand I find it funny and a bit ironic that many ethnic Germans left to South America to start a better life or to escape the nazis decades ago and now their country of origin is THE place where migrants and refugees are fleeing to.
I'd go, I even speak german, but being a backwards rapist seems to be a requirement to emigrating there. Can't get a visa for shit.
Germans and italians solved demographic issues in the past. It was called WHITEning
This is what I was thinking - you'd think the German state, knowing it has a demographic disaster ahead, would get ethnic Germans to return to Germany? Hell, bring some Mennonites back and the German population will rebound in 2 generations. But of course, they seem to want to bring in migrants who seem to hate the German people, culture and tradition and only wish to be a burden to the State.
Including people who are Jewish?
3:55 I'm sure it means something different in German, but I can't get over how that sign says _"pisswagen."_
As a German I don't see it meaning anything different than you'd expect.
Piss is English/Australian slang for alcohol especially beer because it comes out looking the same as it did when went in. I suspect that the meaning is the same in that dialect of German.
So it looks like a pisswagen is for getting pissed.
Also since the word Piss comes from a french word which comes from vulgar latin.. It was probably the romans who first made the connection that beer and urine look similar...
Wow excellent backround on the matter and explained with brevity. Keep up the good work and 100000 world class points awarded u.
Very intresting video!
I have Volga German ancestry, from Entre Ríos province (Argentina). Volga Germans celebrate Oktoberfest in some villages. Volga German food is quite popular here such as piroks (beerocks), torta rusa ( cake with Dinnekuche on top) and Kreppels (Russian German fried cakes)
I'm Mexican and I have relatives who are married with Germans that resided in Mexico due to ww2 I find it cool knowing that someone in my family is one of those few Latin germans
Funny how Brazil has the biggest number of Japenese, german, and italians. Triple alliance lives there.
Based 💪🏻🥳
i am a german argentine and this video helped me understand a lot of things. thanks for the info
One of your best research-videos.
You forgot that Paraguay had from 1955-1980s a Dictator with Bavarian-German Heritage (Alfredo Stroessner)
it is not even worthy to talk about that bitch
We have here in Paraguay a city called "nueva germania" what mean 'new germany' in english. I think
Dude, slow down!!!!! Not only does he talk way too fast, but the images (with text on them) move way too fast too!!!!!
Nice video, many thanks
My grandma was a Paraguayan of Swiss-German and Austrian parents, she then moved to Argentina which is where I'm from.
I’m Germanic Mexican, it’s the definition of my last name.
Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Chile in that order have percentages of Germanic descendants ranging from 5 to 2. All other numbers are overestimated.
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.
@Sub15fag it really is!
Wow very nice Masaman it’s a great job!🤩
Great videos keep up the good work
Paraguay deserves it's own video
U got what u wanted...
