What was the Holy Roman Empire?

Answer: After the collapse of the Western Empire under occupation of the Goths and Vandals, the Roman Empire continued on in the east based on Constantinople. In the west, the invaders consolidated their own territories, and sought wider legitimacy as western emperor. Charles the Great decided to crown himself as emperor, but a smart Pope grabbed the crown and placed it on his head as God's gift.

Charlemagne had to be restrained from killing him on the spot, but the damage was done, the western aspirant became Holy Roman Emperor Thereafter those who wanted to claim to be emperor in the west had to get Papal acquiescence, by consent or force. If this didn't work, aspirants set up their own Pope - at one stage there were three men who were called Pope. The Holy Roman Empire shifted around, eventually ending up in Austria where it stayed until Napoleon conquered Austria-Hungary in the early 19th Century CE, when the title disappeared.

Napoleon contented himself in his own New Rome with the title of First Consul, and just plain Emperor, as he was not in the Holy business Answer: Famously and correctly described by Voltaire as "neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire", the Holy Roman Empire started as an extension of the Frankish kingdom (the nucleus of the later France) under its ruler Charlemagne in the year 800. After successive partitions and revivals the title of "Emperor of the Romans" fell into disuse, but was revived in 962 by Otto I in the original Empire's eastern part -roughly today's Germany and neighboring lands, later including northern Italy. With a few interruptions the Empire persisted as an ever weaker federation of principalities usually dominated from 1273 by the Austrian Habsburg dynasty, until the last Emperor Francis II wound up the title in 1806 (having already assumed the throne of a new Austrian Empire corresponding roughly to the later Austria-Hungary) following the French Emperor Napoleon I's territorial reorganisation of Germany.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
