The German Empire was a Central European country on the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. The first postage stamp of the German Reich was issued in 1872, while previously the stamps of the North German Confederation were still used. The federal states of Bavaria and Württemberg continued to use their own stamps until 1920 and 1923 respectively. At the end of the First World War, in 1918, the German Reich became a republic. After the defeat in World War II, the German Empire was occupied by Russian, American, British and French troops.
