North German Confederation
The North German Confederation was a confederated state that united the region of Germany north of the Main river from July 1867 to December 1870. It was a milestone of German Unification that put the Kingdom of Prussia at the head of the emerging nation and led to the exclusion of Austria from the eventual united Germany.
