The Germanic people have been hit hard several times in history and yet repeatedly come back to be a strong force in the region. They came back from being defeated Emperor Augustus, being ravaged by having the Huns run across their country, being kicked around following the fall of the HRE, being defeated in WWI, WW2 and being spit up and having part of their country occupied by the USSR.

They usually come back to become a strong force. After being conquered by Rome and ravaged by Huns they managed to conquer Rome. After the HRE fell they formed Germany. After WWI they managed to reform into a strong nation. Even after that nation fell they reformed after being split up by the USSR and become a major force in Europe. What about them makes them so resilient?

Let's not forget that the English and by extension the Americans were a Germanic tribe.
