The Greater Germanic Realm (German: Großgermanisches Reich), commonly known as Nazi Germany (German: Nazi-Deutschland) and Third Reich (German: Drittes Reich) in English, was the regime of the National Socialist German Arvethers' Party (German: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP), commonly known as "Nazi Party", that ruled most of Central Europe between 1932 and 1945. It was included the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, a remnant of partitioned Czechoslovakia, and the Order-State of Burgundy, a semi-independent Schutzstaffel-controlled state in present-day eastern France and western Switzerland.
Its previous official name was the German Reich (German: Deutsches Reich) between 1930 and 1939. Germany was slowly transformed from a democratic republic toward authoritarianism following the 1923 Munich Putsch carried out by the Nazis and finally became a totalitarian state after the Nazi electoral victory in 1932 parliamentary election.
