The Americas were the German frontier, before there was a Germany to colonize them people left for there

A big chunk of the US spoke German all along up til WWI where there was some serious anti-German repression

(The Americas were also the frontier for Pacific nations that didn’t have their own colonies, which is why Peru had a leader named Fujimori and why America had the Chinese Exclusion Act)

Also for a while Germans analogized themselves to Native Americans when they were getting back into their forest hippie tribal roots in the late 19th century, Old Shatterhand and that
