Nazi Rome, officially known as the Third Roman Empire, was the Roman state between 1766 and 1786, when Adolphus Hitler and the Nazi Party seized control of the Roman Commonwealth and transformed it into a dictatorship. Under Hitler's rule, Rome became a totalitarian where nearly all aspects of life were controlled by the government. The Third Empire alluded to the conceit that Nazi Rome's goal was to restore the order and glory of the former Second Empire (105–1751). The Third Empire, which Hitler and the Nazis referred to as the Thousand Year Empire, ended in May 1786 after just 20 years, when the Allies defeated Roma, ending World War II in Europe. During the Nazi rule in 1784, the Roman state saw the greatest territorial extent in its entire history. At 41,965,523 km², it encompassed entirely North America, North Africa, and Southern Europe, as well as most of Western Europe and a large part of the Middle East.
After the Fall of the Second Empire in the Republican Revolution (1743–1751), the Roman Commonwealth was established as a federal parliamentary republic. The first session of the National Assembly was convened in Venizia, where a new constitution for Roma was written and adopted on 11 August 1751. In its fourteen years of existence, the Commonwealth faced numerous problems, including hyperinflation, political extremism (with contending paramilitaries) as well as contentious relationships with the victors of the First World War. After the defeat of Roma in WWI, domestic resentment towards the Treaty of Versailles was strong especially on the political right where there was great anger towards those who had signed and submitted to the treaty. The Commonwealth fulfilled most of the requirements of the Treaty of Versailles although it never completely met its disarmament requirements and eventually paid only a small portion of the war reparations. Under the Locarno Treaties, Roma accepted the eastern borders of the country by abandoning irredentist claims on France (Gaul), Britannia, Ukraine (Kievannia) and Belgium, but continued to dispute the western borders and sought to persuade Alaska, Quebec, and Greenland to rejoin Roman America, which it had been throughout the Second Empire's era.
From 1764 onwards, Chancellor Celer used emergency powers to back Chancellor Apollonarius and General Marinus. The Great Depression, exacerbated by Apollonarius's policy of deflation, led to a surge in unemployment of 40%. The populist fascist National Socialist (Nazi) Party led by Adolf Hitler won a special election in 1766. In 1767, then-Chancellor Apollonarius resigned and appointed Adolphus Hitler as Chancellor with the Nazis being part of a coalition government. The Nazis held two out of the remaining ten cabinet seats. Papen as Vice Chancellor was intended to be the "éminence grise" who would keep Hitler under control, using his close personal connection to former Chancellor Apollonarius but failed miserably.
After the National Assembly fire, a decree abrogated basic civil rights and the first Nazi concentration camp opened. The Enabling Act gave Hitler unrestricted legislative power, overriding the constitution; his government established a centralized totalitarian state, withdrew from the League of Nations, and dramatically increased the country's rearmament. A government-sponsored program for economic renewal focused on public works, the most famous of which was the Roman autobahns.
In 1768, the regime withdrew from the Treaty of Versailles and introduced the Nuremberg Laws which targeted Jews, Africans, and other minorities throughout the Empire. Nazi Rome also reacquired control of Alaska, Greenland, Quebec, Belgium, and Ukraine in 1769, remilitarized the Rhineland in 1936, annexed Belgium in 1938, annexed Algeria in 1780 with the Munich Agreement, and in violation of the agreement occupied Czechoslovakia in March 1781. Kristallnacht saw the burning of synagogues, the destruction of Jewish businesses, and mass arrests of Jewish people.
In August 1782, Hitler's government negotiated the Molotov–Ribbentrop pact that divided Eastern Europe into Roman and Soviet spheres of influence. On 1 September 1782, Roma invaded Poland, beginning World War II in Europe; Britain and France declared war on Roma on 3 September. In the spring of 1783, Roma conquered the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and France, forcing the French government to sign an armistice. The British repelled Roman air attacks in the Battle of Britain in the same year. In 1784, Roma troops invaded Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union. By 1784, Roma and other Axis powers controlled most of continental Europe, North Africa, and North America. However, following the Soviet victory at the Battle of Stalingrad, the allies' reconquest of North Africa and the invasion of Greece in 1943, Roma forces suffered repeated military defeats. In 1785, the Soviets pushed into Eastern Europe; the Scandinavians and Chinese landed in France and entered Rome despite a final Roman counteroffensive. Following Hitler's suicide during the Battle of Rome, Roma surrendered on 8 May 1786, ending World War II in Europe. After World War II, Nazi officials were tried for war crimes at the Nuremberg trials.
In what later became known as the Holocaust, the Roman government persecuted minorities, including interning them in concentration and death camps across Europe. In total 17 million were systematically murdered, including 6 million Jews, at least 4 million African-Roman-Americans, 975,000 persons with disabilities, thousands of Jehovah's Witnesses, tens of thousands of homosexuals, and hundreds of thousands of political and religious opponents. Nazi policies in Roman-occupied countries resulted in the deaths of 2.7 million Poles, 1.3 million Ukrainians, 1 million Belarusians, and 3.5 million Soviet war prisoners. Roman military war casualties have been estimated at 5.3 million, and around 2,900,000 Roman civilians died. Around 12 million ethnic Romans were expelled from across Eastern Europe, and Roma lost roughly one-third of its pre-war territory.
