German Reich Explanation: This is what I would write, simply supported by frequency of use (try Google for "German Reich"). In addition, this corresponds to the term "Third Reich" used for the Nazi dictatorship 1933-45. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-21 13:15:24 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I must admit that \"German Empire\" is also used in many web sources (among them authoritative educational institutions). Since there is indeed no fixed rule to this, you seem to have the freedom of choice (provided you are consistent throughout your text). I would still go for the first version though. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-21 13:24:38 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Gezielte Google-Suche nach der Verwendung von \"German Empire\" und \"German Reich\" in .edu-Domains ergab mehr als 2000 bzw. 1000 Treffer, so dass beide wohl \"good English usage\" darstellen, \"Deutsches Reich\" dagegen nicht. Du hast die Wahl zwischen den ersten beiden Begriffen. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-21 13:44:07 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Zum Nachvollzug meiner Suche: http://www.google.de/search?as_q=&num=10&hl=de&ie=ISO-8859-1... http://www.google.de/search?as_q=&num=10&hl=de&ie=ISO-8859-1... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-21 13:47:33 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Zum Nachvollzug meiner Suche: http://www.google.de/search?as_q=&num=10&hl=de&ie=ISO-8859-1... http://www.google.de/search?as_q=&num=10&hl=de&ie=ISO-8859-1...
