premise: Weimar Republic (German: "Weimarer Republik" ] ) was an unofficial, historical designation for the German state between 1919 and 1933. The name derives from the city of Weimar, where its constitutional assembly first took place. The official name of the state was "Deutsches Reich"; it had remained unchanged since 1871. In English the country was usually known simply as Germany.
hypothesis: Germany was known as Deutsches Reich longer than it was known as Weimar Republic.
reason: The moniker Weimar Republic was used from 1919 to 1933, while "Deutsches Reich" had remained unchanged since 1871. The model didn't do the math, maybe.
