History
In 1634 the Frenchman Jean Nicolet (* 1598, † 1642) was the first European to visit the area inhabited by Menominee and Winnebago Indians. The region was owned by French, then British, until 1763 and became part of the Northwest Territory in 1783 nominally in the possession of the USA, but was only finally evacuated by the British after the British-American War 1812-14. 1800-09 Wisconsin belonged to Indiana, 1809-18 to Illinois, then to Michigan. After the first immigration to the mining areas of Wisconsin in the 1820s, after the Indian War of 1832 (Black Hawk War), the actual mass immigration (mainly Germans and Scandinavians) began, which accelerated the displacement of the natives. In 1836 Wisconsin, which also included areas of the present-day states of Iowa, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, was organized as a territory and in 1848 was admitted to the union as the 30th state within its current borders. Politically dominated from 1856 on the Republican Party, from 1900 to the Second World War its progressive wing under R. M. La Follette. During this time, Wisconsin emanated numerous pioneering reform impulses.
