Part of me thinks that parts of SA are allowed in because of how many Germans fled there. I hope I’m wrong

The trope that "German's Fled to Latin America after the war" is overinflated anti-Latin American propaganda at this point. The US and broader west took in just as many if not more Germans who fled.
knowing this absurdly evil reality, you're unfortunately probably right
I think it also has to do with the Schengen deal and making it easier for Latin American tourists to visit Spain and Portugal, as well as Rome which is a highly regarded tourism location for Catholics.
I think the same map mostly applies to all other EU countries, though your max stay is 3 months with no permits.

Thank Goodness, I was a bit spooked at first lol
That was my first thought as well.
That was my thought as well, didn't know how to articulate it (cough cough, expecially Argentina)
Absolutely haunting how many countries are marked yellow on this map.
It's too bad I'm colorblind.
here you go, should be easier I think
It's... Beautiful 🥲
Germany's colour is kind of dark compared to the key, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem, I hope.
Most of the countries in red are far too kind, they offer German passport holders visa free entry.
Wtf, even Venezuela?
Venezuela has a bilateral free entry agreement with all EU countries+UK except Andorra.
What!? Why? How?
The EU believes that the 2018 Presidential elections were rigged and not democratic, but all they did was ban arms shipments and put a travel ban on 55 government officals.
Other then that, the EU has surprisingly good diplomatic connections with Venezuela, and still does a lot of trade with them, along with sending them humanitarian aid. Further, the EU refused to implement sanctions that would harm the civilian population (IE something like the Cuban Embargo). Because of that Venezuela has remained amicable with the EU.
That's interesting, thanks for the detail.
I zoomed in and I'm pretty sure that South Africa is a solid red.
South America
Turkey needs a visa?
For most people. Government workers and their families practically have indefinite Schengen visas.
