Best Answer

Germans were attracted to the opportunity of land and religious freedom and pushed out of Europe by shortages of land and religious or political oppression. The German immigrants before 1850 were mostly farmers who were looking for the most productive land.

But the largest numbers of German Immigration to America occurred between 1820 and World War I. Nearly six million Germans came to the United States. From 1840 to 1880, they were the largest group of immigrants. Following the Revolutions of 1848 in the German states, a wave of political refugees fled to America.
