I think this was the biggest factor. People think colonial powers just went around to different places and decided to snatch them up, but it kinda happens naturally when ports and trade are established and you have to protect them from other powers.

Worked out quite well for them that there's no foreign population of dubious quality that has learned their language and has some kind of claim to being "German" through rights granted to colonies, clamoring for residency/citizenship inside Germany.

Germanic people were prevented from unifying for centuries and got into the colony game late and Prussia was a land power. Their late colony efforts spooked the Brits and partially led to WW1.

They had opportunities for continental European expansion that other powers didn't have because of large powerful German minorities in other states, principally into Austria-Hungary

Germans aren’t particularly good at colonizing. They like their own ways too much and just can’t understand foreigners. Even in WW2, they could only administer via brute force. If Britain/France/Spain somehow conquered Eastern Europe or whatever, they would have found a way to co-opt the local gentry like they did in Africa/India/South America. Also explains why Germany is so bad assimilating immigrants.

u idiots have to realize northern birdshits didnt do shit until post 1500AD, they all were filthy barbarians who cldnt even learn to sail. all this shit happened all of a sudden and the germans prob were just behind the evil british faggots and spain/portugal.

because the first thing they did when they conquered a place was adopt the local religion and learn the local language. "The Normans" were simply bored Scandinavians who decided to park their asses in France and dominate Europe. You didn't even know that.

Their backyard is Poland, Austria, and the Ruhr, not the Atlantic. Look at a map

Cr. Sailors visit foreign lands -> establish ports and trade -> trade becomes so valuable economically and strategically that it must be protected -> convince locals to join them or conquer them

Unification played a part of course, but if your country didn't have the head start of having a lot of ocean or Mediterranean Sea border, then you would always lag behind in shipbuilding and sailing ability. Germany only made strides in the 20th century out of necessity to break blockades, and also the technological change from sails

cr. there was no necessity to look outwards across the water when they're already perched on one of the poles of Halford Mackinder's Eurasian world-island

There were no successful int'l European colonial powers west of France. Even Italy struggled in the races for Africa and Asia despite historical familiarity with and dominance over the Caribbean
