Origin and Causes
Ag. N-E provinces disproportionately affected
Land inheritance (eldest son), Emigration an option for the others
For rural wage labourers …
1870s- Ag. ec. crisis, & modernization. (seasonalization, mechanization)
Attraction of self-sufficiency in U.S.
Planned route: German agriculture. -> U.S urban work -> U.S. Farm
But increasingly German agriculture. -> U.S. urban life.

Emigrationist Colonialism
Idea of the ‘unbounded German nation’ (Sauer, 2007).
Germans could be Germans away from new German nation state
The nation as ‘imagined community’ centred on culture
Breaking in and farming the soil of ‘new territory’ the core ‘national’ economic task
Colonialist also because displacement of indigenous peoples taken for granted, seen as a natural effect of necessary German expansion.
A refutation of state-based nationalism & core duty - military service

Long before we had reached the harbour however, several small boats approached our steamer propelled by powerful oar-strokes and in no time had fastened themselves to the ship’s sides.

Introduction
Germany is full of culinary delights and known for their beer, festivities, food specialties and entertainment.
Being that my mother is German and I have lived there for 15 years; I know all about just how much Germany has to offer and how wonderful the food is. I know many dishes do not look too appetizing but you can’t judge a book by it’s cover. If you are reluctant to try many German dishes due to the fact of it’s appeal, you will miss out on some of the best cuisine.
German cuisine has been labeled as very fatty but bordering close to Italy and France has worked in it’s favor because they were able to adopt many of their spices and cooking methods over the last 200 years but reform it into their own way.
There are 3 major regions in Germany:
The North German Plain
The Central Uplands
The Alpine Foreland
Regions
The North German plain is made up of the major
geographical regions. It shares borders with the coasts
of the North sea and Baltic sea. In this region lies
some of the major rivers to include the Rhine, Ems, and Elbe river.
The Rhine river
The Central uplands stretch all the way from France to Poland and to Czech. Within this region are many forests and valleys such as the Taunus forest , Black and Bavarian forest.
The Black Forest
Regions
Last but not least is the Alpine Foreland region. This region is right in between Bavaria Swabia and Baden- Württemberg on the west side and the Salzach river on the east. The great city of Munich lies right in the heart of it all. The Alpine Foreland is made up of plateaus and rolling foothills with major rivers such as the Isar, Inn, and Lech river.
Regions
German cuisine varies from region to region based on the geography. The type of cuisine served in the mountainous areas will not be the same as the cuisine served in the regions in close proximity of water.
Regions
Pickled Herring. Yummy!
Although food varies per region many dishes are still eaten nationwide. The North and Baltic Seas provide more fish for the northern region such as pickled herring, ( which I love) trout, salmon, and fresh sardines. Beef, goose, and lamb are also eaten in the north wh.

Thinkers or Junkers? Germans in England 1860-1920 & Beyond by Anne Hill FernieAlex Dunedin
Anne Fernie gives a history of Germans in England between 1860 and 1920 which is much forgotten: 2017 has seen the sharp decline in UK German studies at all levels. A 13.2 drop at GCSE level, similar at ‘A’ level and undergraduates reading German has almost halved since 1997. It would appear ironic that in an age where Europe has never been closer geographically, our real sense of closeness to it culturally & emotionally widens.
As a result of this and continued media stereotyping of the ‘bad’ or ‘threatening’ German, many British are unaware of the completely different reputation that ‘our cultural cousins’ had before the onset of WW1 as a nation of ‘poets and thinkers’. Germans of all professions flocked to Britain from the 1860s onwards, becoming one of the largest immigrant groups and contributing immeasurably to British culture and communities of the time.

Fathers Day 2018: A Veteran Returns to Verdun to Honor the DeadCharles Bloeser
“The battle of Verdun was the longest, if not the bloodiest, single battle in World War I. Launched by the German Fifth Army on 21 February 1916, it did not come to an end until the final French counterattack was ended on 19 December 1916. For most of 1916, German and French soldiers fought tooth and nail for a few square miles of terrain around the French fortress city of Verdun, in what was the quintessential “battle of attrition” of World War I. Most units of the French army and many of the German army fought in what was described by both sides as the “hell of Verdun.” Between the battle’s start and the end of August (when the Germans ceased offensive operations), some 281,000 Germans and some 315,000 Frenchmen were killed or wounded. . . .”

German history did of course exist before 1814, but I decided to begin the timeline when the German confederation was declared. There were many things happening within Germany that are not included in this timeline, but these are some of the highlights.
Classical music is the mainstream music produced in, or rooted in the traditions of Western liturgical and secular music , encompassing a broad period from roughly the 9th century to present times . Often referred to as Bach , he was a German composer and organist whose ecclesiastical and secular works for choir, orchestra, and solo instruments drew together the strands of the Baroque period and brought it to its ultimate maturity. Bach’s works were revered for their artistic beauty, technical command, and intellectual depth. His works include the list you see here. And here is an example of Bach’s Fugue in D Minor. This piece is very familiar to most people and it is played on the organ. (start video at :15)
Mozart was an influential composer of the Classical era . He composed over 600 works , many acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic , concertante , chamber , piano , operatic , and choral music . He is among the most enduringly popular of classical composers. Mozart showed prodigious ability from his earliest childhood in Salzburg . Already competent on keyboard and violin , he composed from the age of five and performed before European royalty.
A German composer , conductor , theatre director and essayist , primarily known for his operas (or "music dramas", as they were later called). Unlike most other opera composers, Wagner wrote both the music and libretto for every one of his works. Richard Wagner was best known for his operas but he also composed other musical pieces. These include a single symphony (written at the age of 19), a Faust symphony and some overtures, choral and piano pieces,
German folk music has traditionally focused on celebrating Germany's history, natural surroundings, the German culture and German values. These songs, called “Volkslieder,” were sung by school choirs and were lauded by the government. Grandparents and children alike sang these songs to celebrate their German heritage. Songs with a Message Some German folk focuses on virtues or admirable character qualities. These songs are sung to encourage good character and morality. This German folk song celebrates the change of the seasons, when the cold weather of winter has passed and is replaced by the warmth of spring. Because it can be quite gloomy in Germany in the winter, there are several folk songs written about the change of the seasons. The example of German folk music is a song called Die Mayrhofner - Zillertaler san ma
Volksmusik is the common umbrella designation of a number of related styles of traditional country music from the Alpine regions of Austria and Germany. It tends to be dialect-heavy and invokes local and regional lifestyles and traditions, particularly those of the Alpine farmers and rural people. Typical instruments include the steirische harmonika (a special kind of button accordion) and acoustic guitars and even zithers, harmonicas and alpenhorns. Volksmusik continues to be performed by many local groups throughout the Europeon Alpine region and in many other countries where much of the population is of Austrian or German descent. The example that we have is a song called Herz Schmerz Polka
Krautrock is an eclectic and often very original mix of Anglo-American post- psychedelic jamming and moody progressive rock mixed with ideas from contemporary experimental classical music and from the new experimental directions that emerged in jazz during the 1960s and 1970s. Moving away from the patterns of song structure and melody of much rock music in America and Britain, some in the movement also drove the music to a more mechanical and electronic sound. Song representation is “Krautrock” by Faust. (Start at 2:35)
The Hamburger Schule ( German for School of Hamburg ) was a musical current in Germany during the 1980s and early 1990s, encompassing elements from punk , grunge and experimental pop , and featuring intelligent lyrics. It established new grounds for the use of German language in pop music. By the mid 1990s, three bands met with great commercial success: Blumfeld , Die Sterne , and Tocotronic . The Hamburger Schule became known as the epitome of German Indie pop music. Artist for our Hamburger Schule representation is Blumfeld.
Musically, the early Neue Deutsche Welle underground (from about 1976 to 1981) was art-damaged and proto-electronic. By 1984, the scene had quickly expanded to include brooding, layered goth sounds and minimal pop. Today in Berlin, you can go to "oldies" bars that only play pop Neue Deutsche Welle–a bit like going to bad '80s nights in the U.S.
One of Germany’s most important traditions. the German holiday season is a time for introspection, celebration, and family and friends; it is less consumption-oriented than in the United States. Not only the holiday itself, but also the weeks leading up to the celebration of Christmas involve many traditions and customs of diverse origins. Advent: The German Christmas season officially begins with the first Sunday of Advent. Stollen, the oldest known German Christmas treat, and Christmas cookies (Plätzchen) are often baked during this time. Gingerbread houses, nativity scenes, hand-carved wooden Nutcracker figures (Nussknacker), Christmas pyramids (Weihnachtspyramiden), and lighted city streets and homes are all signs that Christmas is on its way. Christmas Market The town squares, normally dark early in winter months, are lit up and buzzing with activity during this time. Townspeople gather together, listen to brass band music, drink beer or hot mulled wine ( Glühwein ) or apple cider, and enjoy the hearty traditional fare of the region. Vendors peddle baked goods. Christmas tree decorations, seasonal items, and handcrafted articles, such as wooden toys and hand-blown glass ornaments, are also sold. Christmas markets date back to at least the 14th century and were one of the many markets held throughout the year. It was here that people bought everything they needed for the Christmas celebration. Until well into the 20th century, the Christmas Markets were the only place for people to buy such seasonal items. Santa Claus The figure of Santa Claus, known in Germany as der Weihnachtsmann (literally, "the Christmas man"), is a direct descendant of Saint Nicholas, as can easily be seen from the derivation of the name "Santa Claus". a bearded old man in a long, brown, hooded fur coat who traveled on a reindeer-drawn sled. Carrying a staff and nuts, respectively symbolizing fertility and non-perishable, substantial nourishment, this figure from Lapland represented preparation for the long winter season ahead. This figure likely in turn descends from the god Thor or another deity from Germanic mythology. The Weihnachtsmann , much like Santa Claus, is depicted as a jolly old man with a long white beard in a red fur suit, with a sack of presents and a switch. On Christmas Eve he leaves gifts for the well-behaved children and punishes those who have been bad. He doesn't arrive through the chimney, but rather slips in and out just long enough to leave the gifts, usually before children can catch a glimpse of him. Depending on the German-speaking region, today it is either the Weihnachtsmann or the Christkind (Christ child) who leaves gifts for the children to open on December 24th in Germany. Christmas Trees The first known Christmas tree was set up in 1419 in Freiburg by the town bakers, who decorated the tree with fruits, nuts, and baked goods, which the children were allowed to remove and eat on New Year's Day. The town guilds and associations first brought evergreens inside their guild houses and decorated them with apples and sweets. Candles were eventually added to the decorations. The custom was brought to North America by German-speaking immigrants to Pennsylvania and Ohio in the 18th century. The Tannenbaum is taken down on New Year's Day or on January 6th, Three King's Day, at which time the children can ransack the tree for the sweets and treats that decorated it.
All of the citizens of Munich were invited. Originally lasted five days held on the fields in front of the city gates. Anniversary’s were held annually from then on and eventually became larger and more elaborate. 1.5 million gallons of beer consumed, 200,000 pairs of sausages 480,000 spit roasted chicken
