| - The Third Reich begins in 1933, when the Nazi party takes power, ending the Weigmar Republic. Adolf Hitler is named as führer. In 1938, Austria joins Germany (the Anschluss). In 1939, the Reich invade central and western Poland, followed by the Soviet invasion of eastern Poland, causing the declaration of war by Britain and France. Driven by the racial doctrine of the Nazi party, Germany-invaded Poland is subject to a process of "Germanification", annexing the territories to the Reich. In 1940, the Reich invaded Denmark and southern Norway in April; and the Netherlands, Belgium and France in June. Germany annexes Denmark, Norway and the Netherlands to the Reich. In Belgium and France, pro-German governments are installed. In 1942, after an truce is signed with Britain, Germany invades the Soviet Union, which put them in a co-belligerent status with the United Kingdom, Finland and Japan. In October, the Germans sign a treaty with a pro-nazi Russian party. When the Soviet Union surrenders in 1944, Germany de-occupies "Russia proper", but keeps some SS troops in Russia. By this time, Germany has already annexed former Soviet Poland, parts of White Russia and Ukraine. In 1963, Reich Führer Adolf Hitler dies.
