,Overview o The Federal Republic of Germany
o Constitution date back to 1949
o Separate principalities, city-states and other entities
o Sequence of alliances between German states in different
configuration
o The desire for national unification was inspired by the French
Revolution
o Rivalry between Prussia and Austria for leadership in the region
o Prussia asserted dominance in the northern part of the lands in
question and forged a German nation- state to the exclusion of
Austria
3.1 Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation
National o Weak central institutions
Unification o The influence of the Emperor, who was elected by a body of prince-
electors, mostly depended on how much power he personally held
as the monarch of his own principality
o The Thirty Years’ war tore the Empire apart
o 1648 Peace of Westphalia recognized the sovereignty of the
individual principalities (Austria)
o Emperor Francis I of separate Austria
o The powerful Kingdom of Prussia remained independent
o Most other states of the former Holy Roman Empire united under
French pressure to form the Confederation of the Rhine
o The Confederation, which became a French vassal, collapsed in
1813 as Napoleon suffered military defeat
1815 the Congress of Vienna
o German confederation (present day Germany+ western part of
Prussia and the western part of Habsburg Austria) replaced the
former Holy Roman Empire
Features of German confederation
o Central assembly called Bundestag/ Confederal Diet
(representatives of several states)
o In 1848 a liberal revolutionary movement sought to establish a
unified German nation-state




Austro-Prussian War of 1866
o Prussia defeated Austria, left the German Confederation and
together with its smaller allies in the northern half of present-day

, Germany formed the North German Confederation
Germany’s defeat in World War I
o Fall of the imperial monarchy in 1918, Germany adopted a
republican form of government
o Instead of an Emperor, the Republic had a directly elected President
as its head of state
o The government was headed by a chancellor and was this time
accountable to the directly elected parliament
o Suffering from poor popular support for a republican form of
government and a multi-party system, the Weimar Republic’s
institutional design proved too fragile to withstand political
extremism at a time of economic crisis
