Germans of Paraguay

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The German minority in Paraguay came into existence with immigration during the industrial age.

Notable Paraguayan Germans includes the former president of Paraguay Alfredo Stroessner. Paraguay and South America in general was a popular place for German leaders accused of war crimes to retreat after the second World War.

The "Nueva Germania" colony was founded in Paraguay in 1888; though regarded as a failure, it still exists despite being abandonded by many of its founders in the 1890s.
