The German Confederation was an loose association created by the Congress of Vienna in 1815 after the final defeat of Napoleon, to serve as successor to the German Holy Roman Empire.

Rivalry between Austria and Preussen over the rights to rule German lands, led to the Austro-Prussian War, also called Seven-Week War, in German it is called ''Deutscher Krieg'', ''Osterreichisch-preussischer Krieg'' or ''Bruderkrieg''. | The German Confederation was an loose association created by the Congress of Vienna in 1815 after the final defeat of Napoleon, to serve as successor to the German Holy Roman Empire.
