German Confederation

Association of German states (1815–1866)

The German Confederation (German: Deutscher Bund [ˈdɔʏtʃɐ ˈbʊnt]) was an association of 39 predominantly German-speaking sovereign states in Central Europe from 1815 to 1866. It was created by the Congress of Vienna to replace the Holy Roman Empire, which dissolved in 1806 as a result of the Napoleonic Wars. The Confederation had only one organ, the Bundesversammlung, or Federal Convention (also Federal Assembly or Confederate Diet).
