Colonial Expansion

While Berengar was fighting his war against the Catholic world, and Itami sought dominion over the Korean Peninsula, the German colonies grew and expanded as more young men and women were selected to settle into the New World. 

Aside from the pre-existing colonies of New Vienna, New Swabia, Berenstadt, and Neu Hafen. The Germans had founded colonies in what, as once known as Florida and Texas, in Berengar's past life. These settlements were connected to the rest of the colonies by trade through the sea, and after some small skirmishes with the locals, these colonies had begun to thrive. 

As for New Vienna, it was no longer a small colony of a few hundred men and women. It was the largest colony in the new world, with over ten thousand German families living within the settlement. Day-to-day life was peaceful, thanks to the skilled diplomacy of Arnulf von Thiersee. The local tribes rarely found fault with the Settlers of New Vienna and they coexisted in peace.
