The German Empire or Imperial State of Germany, also known as the Second Reich or Kaiserreich was a historic empire which reigned from 1871 to 1918. It is not to be confused with the more infamous Nazi Party or Nazi Germany which lasted from 1933 to 1943.
Description[]
The German Empire was a unification of German states left behind by the long since dissolved Holy Roman Empire. The empire was assembled in a confederacy under a single emperor and an emperor's chancellor with 26 states ruled over by royal families. The empire was dissolved in the German Revolution of 1918-1919 AKA The November Revolution, a revolution against German imperialism and classism which occurred at the end of World War I.
