America in global context: German entrepreneurs around the world (1871-1918)

Research output: Chapter in Book/Published conference outputEntry for encyclopedia/dictionary

Abstract

The United States was undoubtedly the most important, but by no means the only country of destination for German immigrant entrepreneurs. German industrialists, merchants, and other entrepreneurs could be found in virtually all world regions where international trade or local markets promised satisfactory returns. They were globally dispersed manifestations – and motors – of Germany’s expanding economy between unification in 1871 and the First World War.
