How German Immigration shaped Brazil's History

Oh, those boys from Brazil.

They only talked about the good and fun parts, and there really are many of them, but there is something bad in all of this, some (not the majority) immigrant communities that came in the 19th century did not go through the horrors of WWII nor did they study enough about it, so Blumenau, for example, became the place with an epidemic of Nazism and racial supremacy, which stains our country and must be eradicated.

If my fellow Germans would just get over their weird pathological fear of taking a DNA test, all this searching for family anxiety would go away in an instant. I submitted three tests (Ancestry, MyHeritage and FamilyTree) and now I have connections with literally thousands of family members on four continents. I even discovered direct cousins still living on ancestral land that my family has owned for over 400 years in Westfalia. We had no idea and I wasn't all that far away from them. And yes, I found ancestors who repeatedly traveled to, worked and lived in Brasil. Though in the case of my family, they either returned or relocated to the United States.

Nobody ever talks about the long and dangerous way, the Germans who moved to Austria had to endure.
Smh

Pity about the AI voices

Did this poor people escaped famine, world war I and II to have a worst time as
Brazilian middle and high classes?

Very white supremacists of the Eurocentrism media to fund shows of how horrible it was to leave starving Germany to go to uncivilized Brazil.

Quite ridiculous. Compare those difficulties with what the superior Europeans were experiencing in Europe.

Full of BS, the weak perish when the strong keep going. It has been like that for millennia. We are in the middle of a hiccup with wokeism. We will go back to normal soon.

It is maddening how they continue to mistreat people of African descent. It is cruel and unjustified.

The greatest farmers in history: Germans, Russian Old Believers, Amish and Dutch Boers.

Thank you for telling the truth about the black experience.

There was nth you mean you kill the Indians

Although its a minority, maybe the only brazilians who think they are better than others are those from the south. It's hard to tell if this "heritage preservation" is really a good thing. I'd rather go for the brazilian tradition of erasing those heritages and begin a new life, simply as a brazilian. We don't need no hyphens.

Thanks Getulio Vargas for forcing them to become brazilians. We don't need balkanization. And we don't need nazis, for sure.

All the German immigrants were given land. And the people of african descent was given what????
We were slave for over 300 years and at the end of it we got. Nothing no compensation no reparation.....
And this was true throughout the Caribbean, the America's..... And then the world turned to says why are you poor....
You give the Jews repreation. What the biggest atrocity that ever done to human was done to black people.
And also the indigenous people of the Americas. And the Caribbean. You apocrates, you all talk about holocaust. What no one talk about the holocaust that was done to the negative people of the Americas. And the Caribbean. I am absolutely discussed with you, Europeans. Europeans are responsible for the biggest atrocities on the face of the Earth.
And it is still a happening today in the caribbean and also in the middle east with the palestinians

it's good that Britain and Spain colonized much of the world, not the Germans. If Germany had colonized Africa, Asia, and Latin America, the population of the world would be half of what it is now.

As a Brazilian, I despise the systematic invasion and destruction of our land, resources and people by Europe and the USA. The Southern region of Brazil is where most of these European invaders chose to settle, which is probably why they were hit with the flooding. What goes around comes around...

They are incredible settlers. Thank God for our amazing , brave , hard working ancestors 🎉. We would all be in caves without them

YOU MEAN" HOW NAZIS SHAPED BRAZILIAN HISTORY?"

Exelent well put together story of immigranter on bouth side of the Atlantic.. intressting and informativ Thank's for sharing DW I truely like your channel.. Enjoy life everyone Greetings from Skandinavia 💞🇮🇸😊👍💞

What do you expect from those who started both World Wars?

This is so interesting to watch while yourself being an immigrant, in Germany! A real investigation: with a look to micro and macro history, facts and multiple sources for the same story. Amazing and truly fascinating!

My wife is Dutch in Canada,they are in many countries ✌️

What a woke documentary. Nothing good comes from DW. PURE GARBAGE.

Sweden’s queen is German Brazilian.

BRAVO DW! Thank you for mentioning the value of women in this documentary. History mostly only remembers the men who made war, but it's actually the women that rebuilt the world after devastating fighting and destruction.

E com a quebra das montadoras alemã e China produzindo carros melhores e mais baratos a alemanha voltara a época do pos 1 guerra viva o BRICS viva a mãe Rússia

Ausgezeichnet! Ich bin begeistert von der Produktion der DW, die sich mit der deutschen Auswanderung und der schwierigen Integration in die brasilianische Gesellschaft beschäftigt.///
Excelente! Estou entusiasmado com a produção da DW, que trata da emigração alemã e da difícil integração na sociedade brasileira.///
Outstanding! I am delighted with DW's production, which deals with German emigration and the difficult integration into Brazilian society.

What a wonderful documentary, I loved it so much.

Alemães imigraram para todas as partes do mundo, fugindo da miseriia e fome da Europa, na segunda guerra mundial, mais da metade das mulheres alemãs se prostituiam para ter o que comer.

I have Portuguese origins, from Guimarães, Spanish, from Trevelez, Italian, from Vedelago and Monfalcone, and Austrian, from Gorz, and I am therefore a genuinely Brazilian product. Now, from an environmental point of view, it was the worst misfortune for Brazil when white Europeans came here. The logic of cutting down the forest and dirtying the environment, in addition to never getting rid of real illiteracy, is the great legacy of our agricultural elite...😢😢😢

I born in São Paulo and both parents are from Italy 🇮🇹 am 45 years old and I live in New York for the past 30 years and my son born in New York ,my wife she’s Italian-American from Boston 4th generation born in USA 🇺🇸

It is an absolute lack of respect to make a documentary about German inmigrations to Brazil and ignore those millions of working people on the mountains of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Mato Grosso, Espirito Santo and so on... Not that I mind but jaus saying...

GERMAN IMMIGRANTS MADE A HUGE CONTRIBUTION OF SWEAT A ND TEARS INTO A JUNGLE THAT HAD NO AGRICULTURE, NO CONSTRUCTION NO TRANSPORT NO WATER AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT. NO TRADE OF GOODS. THEY ENDURED ALSO DISCRIMINATION BY THE NATIVES WHO HATED HAVING TO DEPEND ON THEM. THIS IS A STORY THAT REPEATS ITSELF THRU OUT SOUTH AMERICA. THE GOVERNMENTS OF EACH PERIOD OF TIME LIED TO THE IMMIGRANTS AND FORCED THEM TO BECOME SELF RELIANT. THE MEMORY IS LOOOOOONG!

Very interesting. I will plan a trip to see these towns with German descendants.

Very interesting vid about migration of germans. I myself worked on this topic through several countries becose (after I rebuilt my mother genealogical tree) of my german... alemanic switz... Abd tirolian ancestors.
They moved everywhere since 16th c. All-over the world. Fascinating trip through history.. . Cultures... Dialects... Etc. I found them in holland.. Tchekoslovaquia.. hungaria...russia (even far east siberia) .. South east asia and china (!)... But most of them in norh america (Usa ohio pennsylvania indiana) and west canada.
Germanic families always remain germans. I was surprised when I proposed to be a translater during a meeting between american descendants coming from ohio or B.C (ossoyos valley, on US/Canadian border) and I discovered that after almost 3 centuries... They always spoke the dialect of their ancestors.
Same as yurs... In brazil.
And for sure they still are celebrating their "culture"... Architecture and craft skills or agricultural knowledges.
For sure building a church... and a school... A library are and a great mall for cultural rallies the very first goals they always achieved to gather their community. Then hospital and "apotheke" siences.
Tks for this vid...

Europeans migrated out of their countires to other parts of the world when they were in war, poverty and crisis.Why don't they have sympathy and understanding when we want to migrate to Europe because of the same problems now.

I am proud of who I am....I am Salvadoran we are almost perfect

curiosamente, onde os alemães se estabeleceram, virou um excelente lugar para morar. Enquanto todo o resto é uma grande merda, principalmente onde tem nordestino e indio...

I felt really moved by this documentary. My family were Volga Deutch who emigrated to Argentina at the end of the 19th century, their storys are similar.

"we came to the jungle and there was nothing" - so we burned down their homes and stole the land for ourselves. 🤣

I'm italian and my paternal roots are from lake of Garda. Many people from North Italy choosed tò emigrate in brazil. Mainly in santa Caterina and rio grande.

muito bom esse documentário
