The Third Reich was the name given to the German government by the Nazis. "Reich" in German means "empire". Hitler believed that he was creating a third German empire, following the Holy Roman Empire (800-1806) what he called the First Reich, and the one created by Otto von Bismarck which lasted from 1871 until 1918 or the Second Reich.
