German Confederation
The
German Confederation
was a loose association of 39 German
states
in
Central Europe
, created by the
Congress of Vienna
in 1815 to coordinate the economies of separate German-speaking countries and to replace the former
Holy Roman Empire
. According to historian Lloyd E. Lee, most historians have judged the Confederation to be weak and ineffective, as well as an obstacle to
German nationalist aspirations
. It collapsed due to
the rivalry between Prussia and Austria
, warfare,
the 1848 revolution
, and the inability of the multiple members to compromise. It dissolved after the Prussian victory in the
Seven Weeks' War
and the establishment of the
North German Confederation
in 1866.
