The Holy Roman Empire was dissolved after the Congress of Vienna in 1806. It had already been significantly weakened by the Napoleonic Wars and the reforms enacted by Napoleon Bonaparte. The German Confederation was established in its place, which was a loose association of 39 independent German states, including Austria and Prussia. However, the Holy Roman Empire did not directly transform into the German Confederation.
