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 )
