Confederation of the Rhine

Confederation of the Rhine was a confederation of 16 German States, which in 1806 dissolved their connection with Germany and leagued with France, and which lasted till disaster overtook Napoleon in Russia, and then broke up. The Germanic Confederation, or union of all the States, took its place, till it too was dissolved by the defeat of Austria in 1866, and which gave ascendancy to Prussia and ensured the erection of the German empire on its ruins.
