Take a look at the Holy Roman Empire (H.R.E.) in relation to Hitler’s promise of a Reich that would last as long as the H.R.E. Start with WWI:
Many factors contributed to WWI. Factors like England's determination to prevent Germany from becoming a world power that would challenge the British Empire in commerce, but it is Woodrow Wilson's true motives that American historians should examine in more detail.
Why did Wilson consider England the better ally prior to WWI? In my opinion Wilson's decision was prompted by his own Presbyterian beliefs. In short: President Wilson abandoned this country’s strict neutrality and sided with Great Britain for no reason other than his personal hatred of the Holy Roman Empire. At that point in time the United States had never fought against Germany, while Americans had twice fought the British? Depending upon your interpretation, Germany was burned twice by the British/American alliance.
NOTE: Hitler, WWII, the United Nations, and Communism’s tenacity, were the results of Wilson’s unintended consequences.
The new religion, Communism, prior to WWI must be viewed in relation to the final days of the H.R.E. The German States were the Holy Roman Empire for nearly a thousand years. So it was inevitable that Germany was destined to produce the strongest reaction to Communism. Rather than being a new political philosophy, Nazism was attempting to regain some sense of Germany’s lost morality in the face of worldwide Communism. Conquest, extermination camps, and racial purity were the methods Hitler’s Nazis adopted in a world that was already turned upside down in German eyes.
The First Reich was the Holy Roman Empire; lasting from 962 until 1806.
The Second Reich lasted from 1871 until 1918. Not as many years as the First Reich, but time enough to bury Communism had the U.S. remained a neutral country in WWI.
The Third Reich did not work out too well for Germany; lasting from 1933 until 1945.
The H.R.E.’s life span lasted from 962 to 1945. In my chronology the the Holy Roman Empire was uninterrupted even though Hitler’s insane Reich can in no way be compared to the First Reich. Throughout the centuries the H.R.E. was the light of the world —— until March 4, 1789:
