__**Immigrating**__

What time period did most Germans come to America? Well most Germans came to America in the latest 1820 to the early 1920.This was the basic time most of the Germans came here. They also came in many more time periods of that time though. [|Click here to learn more!!] **__Immigrants in America__**

Most germans immagrated here to America because there were many wars in Germany at that time. Everyone wasn't happy there so they moved here. Other people came to America because they offered the germans relegious freedom. Everyone was happy for that so they came here. Germans also wanted more jobs because of the bad economy there. People also moved to this country because there were big problems that they couldn't face. Like Germany was ruled over other countries. They couldn't be free at all. So basically the Germans wanted their freedom! That's not wrong at all!


 * __Germans in WI__**

Many Germans came to Wisconsin. Of course they had to live somewhere. They found a property called Germantown. A lot of people have probably been there, but that is not what we are talking about. When Germans came to Wisconsin it was different, because they brought there culture. Also, they brought food, cloths, and a bunch of other stuff Germans use. I cannot name them all. Of course there are other cities iin Wisconsin that Germans went to. Like: Dane, Buffalo, Grant, Marothon, Clark, etc. That is all about Germans in Wisconsin.

__**Cultures of Germany**__

The germans brought a lot of things to America. Here are things that they brought. Germans brought lots of food like hamburgers, pfeffernuesse, and hotdogs. Somethings that were interesting are that they brought the making of a family tree annd opra. There are lots more like kindergarten, parades, and even daushands. Very interesting! One holiday they brought was Christmas. So if the Germans didn't imigrate here, we wouldn't have all these things! Wow! Try out these [|german recipes,]

**__Problems they had__**

When Germans came to America, they had a lot of problems. Most likely the kids had the problems. When they had problems, nobody knew how to fix them. Still nobody does now. These are some of the problems they had when the immigrants came to America. So let's get started! They had problems coming to a new school and starting a new life in America. Also, they had problems when they learned new languges, reading and making money. The hardest one of all is making new friends and bullies. When kids and parents make fun of people and kids, nobody knows how to fix it. Not even the teachers. That is the problems people had when German immigrants came to Wisconsin.
