Explanation:
While today German-Americans are recognized as an important part of American society, there was a point in history in which Americans of German descent and German culture in the United States was very much under attack. In the years leading up to and during World War I, the US experienced a wave of anti-German sentiment, fueled by superpatriotism and xenophobia, that resulted in open hostility toward all things German.
- The Prominence of Germans in America
By 1910, Germans were the largest non-English speaking immigrant group in America, with the first wave of migrants arriving in Pennsylvania, New York, and Maryland during colonial times. According to the 1910 census, it was estimated that one in every eleven Americans was first or second-generation German. German was the most commonly studied foreign language and was considered, by many, a lingua franca of the literary scene, of the entertainment scene, and of the theater. Certain cities, such as Cleveland, Cincinnati, St. Louis, and Chicago, had German-language schools, German-language newspapers, and even clubs where German-Americans could enjoy their own company while drinking German-style lager. German Catholic and Lutheran churches often operated as schools, teaching their German-American students in German.
