The German Empire began officially on January 18, 1871, with the proclamation of the German Emperor Wilhelm I in the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles.
The "first" Empire was the Holy Roman Empire, which began with the pope's coronotation of German King Otto I in 962, and ended with Franz II's abdication in 1806 during the Napoleonic wars. The Second Empire was that of Wilhelm I (he was named German Emperor at Versailles in 1871 when Prussia and the Northern German Federation united) and lasted from 1871-1918, ending with Wilhelm II's abdication and World War I. These terms, incidentially, were first used by the Nazis, who were claiming their regime to be the "Third Empire" "Reich" actually means "realm;" "empire" is properly "Kaiserreich" (emperor-realm) in German.
The establishment of the German empire began in 1871. During the Franco - Prussian war, four southern states agreed to unification with Prussia. In January of 1871, at Vesailles, Bismarck proclaimed William I as the emperor or " Kaiser" of the new German empire.
