[quote=Anonymous]There's actually no such thing as "German Americans," just as there's no such thing as "Italian Americans." During the time of greatest immigration from these areas of the world, the countries of Germany and Italy did not exist. People came from different provinces and Hanseatic leagues. Someone emigrating from Hamburg did not consider herself to be a countrywoman to someone from Prussia. Someone emigrating from Napoli did not consider himself to be coming from the same country as someone from Tuscana.[/quote]
