German Empire

The German Empire, or the Imperial State of Germany, also referred to as Imperial Germany or the Second Reich, was a federal sovereign state in Central Europe.

History
The German Empire was formed in 1871 after Prussia united all the German states in Central Europe and defeating France in a war. It then turned into the German Empire. In The Pig War, Germany negotiated a dispute between the United States and United Kingdom. Germany sided with the US. In WW1, the German Empire sided with the Central Powers. When the German Empire surrendered in WW1, it lost a bunch of land, money, and had to reduce its military. The German Empire was replaced by the Weimar Republic after the war.
