People say “Why was Hitlers Germany called the Third Reich?” First, Reich in German means “Empire.” It refers to the Empire number they are on.
The “First Reich” (First Empire) in Germany was called “Holy Roman Empire” which lasted from 962 to 1806. The Holy Roman Empire collapsed when German states joined into the Confederation of the Rhine declaring independence from Rome.
The Second Reich (Second Empire) was called “German Empire” which lasted from 1871-1918. The German Empire collapsed with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on June 28, 1919, at the Palace of Versailles in France ending WW1.
The “Third Reich” (Third Empire) in Germany was called “Nazi Germany Empire” which lasted from 1933 to 1945. The Nazi Empire collapsed with the signing of the Capitulation Surrender Documents to the allies on May 7, 1945, in Reims, France, and again to the Soviet Union on May 8, 1945, in Berlin, ending WW2.
When Germany declared independence from the Roman Empire in 962 they became weak and no longer had access to materials and oil to become a Super Power like the U.S and Russia. So they tried to take it by force in WW1 & WW2.
