Deutsche Reich, or the German Empire, was a federal state that existed between 1871 and 1918, consisting of 25 constituent states, including the Kingdom of Prussia and the Kingdom of Bavaria. It was formed after the Franco-Prussian War, which saw the defeat of France and the unification of Germany under the leadership of Prussian Chancellor Otto von Bismarck.
The head of state was the Kaiser (emperor), who had significant power over the government and the military. The constitution provided for a two-chamber parliament, the Reichstag and the Bundesrat, but the Kaiser and his ministers held most of the actual power.
Germany experienced significant industrial development during this time, becoming a major economic power. This period also saw the rise of German nationalism, imperialism, and militarism, which eventually led to Germany's involvement in World War I.
Deutsche Reich was abolished after Germany's defeat in the war and replaced by the Weimar Republic, which served as the predecessor to Nazi Germany.
