first answer:It was called the "Third Reich" not 'Right', and reich means Reign or Empire, it was the Third because Hitler considered two Empires to be the most important in human history and thus "proving" the German's destiny to be great, they were the Roman Empire and the Hohenzollern respectively.second answer:from wikipedia-Drittes Reich - Third Reich or "Third Realm". Arthur Moeller van den Bruck coined this term for his book Das Dritte Reich published in 1923. The "Third Reich" was predicted as the next step beyond the "First Reich" (the Holy Roman Empire), 800-1806 beginning with Charlemagne, and the "Second Reich" (the German Empire, 1871-1918).
The First Reich was under the more well-known name of the Holy Roman Empire, begun by Charlemagne , which was led by numerous Emperors throughout the centuries which it existed. The Second Reich was unified and led by the Prussian Emperor, Wilhelm I and his chancellor, Otto von Bismarck. Wilhelm I was succeeded by Kaiser Wilhelm II, and the monarchy and hence the Second Reich, ended after the First World War.
The name Third Reich refers to the state that succeeded the Holy Roman Empire of the Middle Ages and the German Empire of 1871-1918. In German, the state was known as the Deutsches Reich(German Reich) until 1943, when its official name became Großdeutsches Reich (Greater German Reich).Although empire is a very close translation of the word Reich, the two words are not perfect synonyms. An empire implies the existence of a monarchy, while a Reich does not have a monarchy. Since the words Reich and empire have slightly different definitions, historians decided to use the German word, rather than the imperfect English translation.
The First Reich was the Holy Roman Empire. Various dates are given for its foundation. The date preferred by most German historians is the coronation of Otto I in 962. In a rather shadowy form this empire remained in existence till 1806. It was often said that it was 'neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire'.The Second Reich was the united Germany created by Bismarck and Prussia in 1871. This lasted up until the end of the First World War and the fall of the last German Kaiser, hence Hitlers idea for a 1000-year 'Third Reich'.AnswerI believe that the first Reich refers to the establishment of the Holy Roman Empire in the 9th century was Charles the Great. The Second Reich was the unification of Germany under the Prussian Kaiser Wilhelm II in 1870. Of course, we all know what the Third Reich was. AnswerThe First Reich was the Holy Roman Empire. There is little agreement as to when it was founded. Most German historians date the foundation from the coronation of Otto I in 962. That 'empire' had a continuous existence till 1806.

The German word "Reich" conveys a concept that can not really be expressed in English. Empire is about the closest that English comes to it but that isn't really equivilant. The way Hitler saw it, the first German Reich had been the Holy Roman Empire which was largely German. It had been abolished by Napolean. The second Reich had been the German Empire which was established when Prussia brought all the other German principalities under her sway in the 19th century. It was abolished in favor of a republic after the First World War. When Hitler put an end to that republic, he felt he was returning Germany to the imperial position which was hers by right, hence it was the third Reich.Michael MontagneAnswer1 Holy Roman Empire 962-1806 2 German Empire 1871-19183 Third Reich( 1933.1--1945.5 )
