Germany's Third Empire (German: Das dritte Reich, lit. 'The Third Realm') is a 1923 book by the German author Arthur Moeller van den Bruck. The book formulated an ideal of national empowerment, which found many adherents in a Germany desperate to rebound from the Treaty of Versailles. For Moeller, Germany's great misfortune lay in the political system created by the Weimar Republic, which had competing parties and liberal ideologies. Moeller was influenced by Friedrich Nietzsche and called for a strong leader. The book is associated with the Conservative Revolution.
