Relationship between the Holy Roman Empire and the Roman Empire???

It does not matter. The Holy Roman Empire was a state founded by the Germanic peoples. In 962 AD, Otto I was crowned emperor and considered himself the heir of the ancient Roman Empire, so the empire he established was also called the Roman Empire, but the empire established by Charlemagne in France at that time was also called the Roman Empire.

In 1806, Napoleon of France forced the Habsburgs to abdicate the throne of the Holy Roman Empire, and the Holy Roman Empire ended.

Historically, the Holy Roman Empire was also known as the First German Empire, and the German Empire established by the Prussians after the reunification of Germany became the Second German Empire. During World War II, Hitler reunited Austria into Germany, and it is customary to refer to Hitler's Germany as the Third Reich. At that time, Germany during Hitler's rule was the Weimar Republic of Germany, and after Hindenburg's death, Hitler, who was chancellor at the time, concurrently served as **.

He had practically nothing to do with the Roman Empire. After the fall of the Roman Empire, Western Rome collapsed and Eastern Rome continued to exist. Otto I of Germany forced the Pope to confer on him the title of Emperor of the Long Lost Western Rome when the country was in great power. Parallel to Byzantium in the East.

The Byzantine Empire, also known as the Eastern Roman Empire, existed from 395 AD to 1453 (actually from the 8th century). Historians did not refer to the merger of Eastern and Western Rome as the Roman era, so when Western Rome fell, it was called the fall of the Roman Empire.

The Holy Roman Empire and the Roman Empire were not directly related to each other, on the contrary, it appeared on the stage of history as one of the invaders of the Roman Empire. But in 962 AD, the Holy See recognized the Holy Roman Empire as the legitimate successor to the Western Roman Empire, and later the Byzantine Empire in Constantinople also recognized its status. It was not until 1806 that the Holy Roman Empire was overthrown by Napoleon I and declared its dissolution.

Holy Roman Empire, 962–1806, feudal empire in Western and Central Europe.

In the early days, it was a unified state, and after the Middle Ages, it evolved into a number of political associations that recognized the supreme authority of the emperor, such as principalities, princely states, ear states, religious aristocratic domains, and free cities. Its imperial state, because of its heavenly carriage,[1] was traced by the Germanic people as a successor to the Roman Empire, and was called the Holy Roman Empire.

Origin. In 961, the weakened Pope John XII asked Otto I to enter Italy as king. On February 2, 962, John XII crowned Otto, hailing him as "Emperor of the Romans" and the beginning of the Holy Roman Empire.

In 962, King of Germany, Otto I of Saxony, was crowned Emperor in Rome by Pope John XII (r. 962-973), becoming the guardian of Rome and the supreme ruler of the Roman Catholic world.

In 1157 the empire received the title "Holy Empire", and in 1254 the empire first began to use the title "Holy Roman Empire", which was used as the official name until 1806.

Oppugn. The French writer Voltaire once said of it: "It is neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire." This also reflects the fact that the Holy Roman Empire did not have orthodox roots and names in history, and had almost nothing to do with the former Roman Empire.

The Byzantine Empire was the successor to the Roman Empire.

The Byzantine Empire was the Roman Empire, which Constantine the Great moved its capital to Byzantium in 330 AD and renamed it Constantinople, dividing the Roman Empire into two parts, east and west, of which the Eastern Roman Empire was called the Byzantine Empire in the Middle Ages. Historically, it was the Byzantine Empire that inherited Roman orthodoxy rather than the so-called Holy Roman Empire.

The Holy Roman Empire was neither sacred, nor was it Rome, much less an empire.

The Holy Spirit: The Roman Empire is just Otto's own wishful thinking! He wanted his empire to be as vast as the Roman Empire, but not to be as civil strife as the latter part of the Roman Empire! So there was a Holy Spirit of the Roman Empire!

Legal inheritance.

In a word, a spiritual connection!
