Abstract: Let $ K$ be a number field with unit rank at least four, containing a subfield $ M$ such that $ K/M$ is Galois of degree at least four. We show that the ring of integers of $ K$ is a Euclidean domain if and only if it is a principal ideal domain. This was previously known under the assumption of the generalized Riemann Hypothesis for Dedekind zeta functions. We prove this unconditionally.
