Who was Georg Anton Schäffer?
Georg Anton Schäffer was a German physician in the employ of the Russian-American Company who attempted to conquer Hawaii for the Company and, ultimately, the Russian Empire. The bloodless Schäffer Affair or the Hawaiian spectacular, as it was called by contemporary Russians, became a significant financial blunder for the Company.
In the 1820s Schäffer became an agent of the Empire of Brazil and recruited thousands of German emigrants, the ancestors of many members of the present-day German Brazilian community, for resettling into Brazil.
