The term "Three Reichs" refers to three distinct periods in German history characterized by different forms of governance. The First Reich, or Holy Roman Empire, lasted from 962 to 1806 and was a complex confederation of territories in Central Europe. The Second Reich emerged in 1871 with the unification of Germany under the Prussian monarchy, lasting until the end of World War I in 1918. The Third Reich, led by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, existed from 1933 to 1945 and was marked by totalitarian rule, aggressive expansionism, and the atrocities of the Holocaust.

Why did the Nazis call themselves the third Reich?

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.
